I appreciate the publisher allowing me to read this book. I found the subject matter very interesting and the book well written and easy to read you can tell the author did their research. highly recommend this book.

This should be a must read to everyone even if you don’t have pu$$y. It’s so informational and should be the basis of understanding for anyone who is sexually active.

It’s also incredibly fascinating. Chapters can be a little dense so I highly recommend breaking it into chunks so you can really absorb all the information and explore the additional info that’s given at the end of each section.

My favorite chapter was definitely the consent chapter. This should be taught in schools and be a mandatory part of curriculum. Consent is sexy and consent is everything.

Please read this when it comes out and give it to everyone you know

I loved this book! This book was a collaborative effort from the people who brought us pussypedia.net. I am loving this recent movement of books being published talking about women's health. This book was informative while also being an enjoyable read. Sometimes books like this can get really bogged down in facts, but this one was a great balance of facts and personal stories and anecdotes. I loved that the reader got to know the contributors really well throughout the book. This book seeks to destroy the stigma surrounding talking about the pussy. This book is so great and I think that everyone should read it!

Definitely a book I wish I had in my teen years, but I'm happy that it's finally been written because the science and health behind pussies is not something that is taught enough and the information needs to be infinitely more accessible to everyone. This book covers a comprehensive history of the medical community's perspective on the pussy and a funny and relatable commentary on it. I recommend this book to everyone with a pussy and everyone hoping to be intimate with someone who has a pussy, and literally everyone else.

This is a book about lady parts or what I shall now call the hoo ha, everything you ever wanted to know or were too embarrassed to ask another person. It is filled with facts so that you can make informed decisions. This book touched on disabilities, pregnancy, consent, sex toys, testing, STI's, and shame (to name a few).

Pussypedia was interesting for a variety of reasons. One thing I discovered is that the drawings that depict the female reproductive system that were in all of the standard textbooks have been incorrect. Say what? How has that gone on for so long? The author spoke to you like a friend, very irreverently but it didn't come across as preachy. Another topic that was interesting was the idea of consent. There are even checklists of certain activities that you can classify as yes/no/maybe. This was the sex education that we should have received in school, not the shame based garbage that was spewed. It would have been a lot more helpful to talk about should you ask your partner to get STI testing before taking the next step than saying, "Now now kids, wait until marriage."

There were a couple of things that I would have liked to tweak about this book. First, I would have liked to hear little snippets from women at the end of the chapters, because this topic can be funny at times so why should we fight it? In the topic about Disabilities, I remember posting on a disability forum about how I wanted rainbow colors on my cane, I received a message with a request to be a sugar baby. To which I asked, "Do you know how old I am? I don't think 35 qualifies as sugar baby material."

The sex toy chapter was way too PG. Where are the recommendations? I would have liked some hyperlinks.

The first chapter about discharge, the author talks about going to the doctor. This is the right thing to say so that she doesn't get sued; however, the doctor is for the privileged. Many people simply can't afford healthcare. One way around this is go to Planned Parenthood. If you have a bacterial or yeast infection, they can examine you and give you the medication for no to low cost. Oh and if you have to get an annual physical every year anyway, try to get your Pap smear done then.

Last but certainly not least, the pregnancy topic was poorly done. Almost everything I knew about pregnancy was a lie. To be honest, almost everything I knew came from watching General Hospital. Dr. Lee was supposed to wait for you at the sign in desk. She would talk you through each contraction, and the baby was supposed to pop out in no more than 2 minutes after 2 pushes and some weird breathing. When you go to to the hospital, someone you don't know know checks you over. If you get admitted, you will be randomly assigned a nurse. If you have a doctor, you might never see them. You labor and labor and labor. Let's say it is time to push. "Where is the doctor?! She can't come. She is busy with another patient, but you are doing great." You feel like you are in one of the TV shows where you are giving birth on the bathroom floor, because the doctor isn't there but you can't really get up. You push and push (no doctor). It is not until the head of the baby appears that the doctor "might" burst into the room. Once I was attending a birthing class and I let slip that the doctor doesn't really show up until the very, very end, and every hand shot up. The birthing instructor admitted that the doctors will not be with you the entire time. Also, there is 0, none, no shame in getting pain medication. If you are experiencing a 25 on the pain scale of 10 and it feels like someone is stabbing you with a big butcher knife between your legs every few minutes, get pain medication! Your body can start to close up because the pain is too intense and your labor will not progress. Get the epidural, take a nice little nap, and wake up to your baby. Otherwise, if you go with the shame-based model, you can end up with a C-Section. For being super women centric, there are also a lot of herbs that you can take to help you breastfeed as well as women who can come to your house and help you nurse if you are having troubles.

Overall, this was an excellent book that gave me warm tingles about being a woman, and I am really grateful that I got to read this book. Buena suerte en el libro, Zoe!

LOVE IT. This is a masterfully rich text about a topic that is often shushed at and told it has no place in conversation. Reverent without piety, this covers so many wonderful topics that need to be discussed. I also appreciate the gender-respective language throughout -- it doesn't assume that those with certain parts meet a certain gender definition. That's something a lot of these empowering books do, and it can be really difficult for gender non-conforming folx to find an informative text that allows space for them to exist but also helps to broaden their knowledge of their bodies.

The illustrations throughout are wonderfully done, with attention to detail but without feeling stuffy and too clinical.

Everyone should be required to own this book! Such a gorgeous, incredible, inclusive guide. I want to hug this book and buy it for everyone I know.

*This review is for the ebook version/netgalley version, not the actual content.*

This is the only galley I have ever gotten from Netgalley that will not download to any of my devices. I am unable to send this, or even convert this title to a form that is readable. Whatever type of file this is will not allow me to read it. Hoping to get a print version of this at a later date to review more thoroughly.

I received a free ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was okay. I thought it tried a little too hard to be funny or clever at times.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING!

I laughed, I empathized, I felt seen. Holy cow. As an owner/operator of a female body, it's crazy to know how much I still have to learn about my own biology!

This is crazy (but also not crazy at all) but I can't wait until my son is old enough to read and understand this. I will certainly teach him some of these things along the way.

It would be terrible if I didn't also sing the praises of the art- so good!

Will definitely purchase when it is released!

Thank you to Hachette Go and NetGalley for the review copy!

It was good, but I expected more. I’ve read nearly every book on the market about these topics and thus just didn’t give me much more info.

Wow! I absolutely loved Pussypedia. Everyone with a pussy, and everyone who has sex with people with pussies, should read this book. I am impressed by the inclusivity, the direct anti-racist approach, and the intersectionality of this book. Most of the information was not new to me, a lot of it I had learned in college (I minored in Family Studies), but it was presented in a fresh, fun, original way that should connect with people better than a stuffy professor. I can’t wait to buy the hardcover edition and keep it out on my coffee table to start conversations.

This book is amazing! Will definitely be buying myself a copy and recommending it to everyone I know. It is informative, and taught me many things I didn’t know about my own body, but it is also extremely well written, with just the right number of personal stories to accompany the facts. There were also some moments I laughed aloud, which was a pleasant surprise.

3.5-4 Stars

A book with detailed artwork and topics about all kinds of topic that relate to having or once having a 'pussy' as they like to say. The book talked about sexual health, hygiene, surgeries, cultures, consent and more and offers various topics.

The only reason that this wasn't 5 stars was that my own brain couldn't handle or take the amount of information there was. It is always better to have more information to choose from, so this is just my own thing, and I really appreciate it; my own brain couldn't process.
Also, the introduction was a bit long.

I absolutely adore this book! It’s so nice to live in a time where sexuality is able to be written about properly. This comprehensive guide is perfect for anyone that just wants to be knowledgeable on anatomy, sexuality, and pretty much everything else in that realm of existence. I honestly couldn’t recommend Pussypedia enough. It’s a 5 star read for me.

i am so happy that this exists tbh. it’s about time everything got updated. as someone who’s non-binary, it’s nice to see gender inclusivity in sexual education!
