Reviews

Big Big Love is a ginormous blessing to people everywhere. Not only is it a superb sex manual, it's positively radical, fun to read, and life affirming--big time. We know that people of size enjoy sex as much as anyone, but to talk about it so frankly, to show it, and give explicit details about the ins and outs of it, is as transgressive as it gets in our culture of thin is sexy. This book is well worth its weight in gold. --Annie Sprinkle, PhD, Ecosex Educator, Sexologist Part of enjoying sex is being comfortable with your body. Big Big Love dispels myths related to fat sexuality and helps people learn to take pleasure in their bodies, regardless of size. --Bruce Sturgell, Founder, Chubstr.com Fat people have sex--and thanks to Hanne Blank's updated and unabashedly unashamed guide to sex and relationships, fat people can have better, more satisfying sex. This book is vitally important for anyone who shops in the plus-size department. Thanks to Hanne, we're all a little luckier when it comes to getting lucky. --Marianne Kirby, author, Lessons from the Fatosphere
