Getting It

Getting It Synopsis

A comprehensive and fun-to-read guidebook for people of all sexual identities and experience levels, Getting It covers all the bases of hook-up culture from first moves and flirting to sexual etiquette and navigating nonmonogamy. In an era of endless crossed signals and heightened awareness of consent and respect, award-winning author and sex educator Allison Moon lays down "The Golden Rules of Casual Sex" and shows you how to achieve safe and enjoyable encounters by practicing clear communication and consideration of all parties involved--yourself included. Getting It helps you get clear on what casual sex means for you, and offers an instructive and empowering deep-dive into how to go about getting it, doing it well, and feeling good about it. It also covers how to gracefully recover when you screw up or get screwed over. In addition to Moon's sage advice, Getting It is peppered with "Viewpoint" sections spotlighting knowledge from experts on key topics such as the proper way to build an online dating profile from dating empowerment coach Erin Tillman, balancing sex and spirit with Pastor Micah Bucey, a debate on the term "slut" between sex educators Jasmine Goldman and Robin Wilson-Beattie, and more. Refreshingly intersectional and respectful, Getting It is an honest guide to understanding the basics of hook-up culture and how to partake.
