South Africa: This is what queer-inclusive sexuality looks like

A brilliant new South African guide to sex and sexuality is fun, enlightening and totally queer-inclusive and affirming. The Quirky Quick Guide to Having Great Sex sets out to answer your burning questions and tell you all you need to know, in clear and accessible bite-sized bits.

Why is lube so important? How do you prep for anal sex? How do you navigate consent? Is there a way of sending safe nudes? How do you put on a condom correctly? Why are people faking orgasms? How do you enjoy erection-free sex? What is kink?

It’s a candid guide to all things sex and sexuality, busting myths and upgrading the knowledge you already have as a tool to help elevate your sex life. Refreshingly, The Quirky Quick Guide to Having Great Sex has no separate sections for queer or heterosexual folk. Instead, the information is all-inclusive, queer-normative and gender-neutral and could apply to anyone (only possibly impacted by which body parts you may wish to work with).

We spoke to the author, Tiffany Kagure Mugo, a Johannesburg-based podcast host, columnist and writer. She is also co-founder and curator of HOLAA! a Pan-African hub that advocates for, and tackles issues surrounding African female sexuality.

The book is fantastically inclusive of sexual and gender diversity. Why was this important for you?

Sex and sexuality is so diverse, I learned this both from my work and personal experience. When you don’t understand this you are missing out on some really bomb coitus and placing all your eggs in a one basket. In creating this book it was super important that folks reading it realised that there really is so much diversity and once you understand this diversity the fun can truly begin! Read more via Mamba
