Critics Review

Praise for Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf “I wish I could go back in time and learn about sex from this book.”

Praise for Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf “I wish I could go back in time and learn about sex from this book.”–Alison Bechdel, author of Are You My Mother? and Fun Home “Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf–seven chapters of candidly self-aware comics and writings–explores the multifarious world of the human sexual experience. Topics include experimentation, faking orgasms, cross-dressing, learning how to casually talk about sex with friends, abusive relationships, finding liberation through positive influences, first times, last times, health, age, identity, body image, substance abuse, masturbation and strange desires. While some traditional sex-ed books can seem patronizing toward adolescents, Not Your Mother’s Meatloaf consists of real people telling their own stories.” -Albuquerque Weekly
