The Sex You Want Virtual Event with Rena Martine

Bookseller Anna will be in conversation with Rena Martine about her new book, The Sex You Want. This book is so much more than the title implies. You'll learn about the internal messages you picked up in early life that have morphed into that internal shaming voice, and you'll explore how to broaden your mindset and go after what you really want. Join us for an engaging conversation, and you can submit questions to be incorporated into it.

You Deserve Great Sex

When it comes to relationships, our society has plenty of expectations. We're supposed to know how to speak up for ourselves in bed, be caring partners, and, of course, love ourselves first. But no one tells us how to actually do all those things, and we are left feeling unsatisfied, confused, and ashamed when we don't measure up.
