Coitus Chronicles: My Quest for Sex, Love, and Orgasms
Coitus Chronicles: My Quest for Sex, Love, and Orgasms | Olive Persimmon
1 post | 1 read | 14 to read
Think you know everything about sex? Think again! This funny and true story of one woman's journey to reclaim her sexuality on the fringes of New York City's sex and dating world will make you think twice about everything there is to learn about sex! Meet Olive Persimmon. Growing up, she looked exactly like Danny DeVito, except she was thirteen and a girl. By some miracle, she grew into a relatively normal, well-adjusted thirty-something woman living in New York City--with one notable exception: she hasn't had sex in five years, one month, three days, two-point-five hours . . . and counting. Faced with bona fide sex rut, she decides it's time to take action to save her love life and get her mojo back. Challenged by a friend to "say yes" to experiences she might normally avoid, Olive embarks on a series of adventures and explores everything from BDSM classes to cuddlers-for-hire, from foot fetishes to lessons with a top-ranked pickup artist, and more! Each awkward, funny, and sometimes downright embarrassing encounter brings Olive closer to discovering the power of saying yes--to herself, others, and life itself. For fans of Jenny Slate, this is a funny, irreverent, and honest tale of one young woman's journey to reclaim her sexuality on the fringes of New York City's sex and dating world. Readers can see for themselves how this girl next door overcame insecurities around dating, sex, and love--all with openness, honesty, and a wicked sense of humor. Along the way, readers will wonder: Will Olive ever have sex again? Will her love life be okay? Will her toe fungus come back? Does she ever find her mojo, and where was it hiding? Weaving together the awkwardness of Mindy Kaling, the candor of Chelsea Handler, and Olive's own hilarious vulnerability, The Coitus Chronicles will encourage readers to explore their own sexuality and consider what surprises they may discover if they, too, just say yes.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After a 5-year dry spell, humor writer and motivational speaker, Olive Persimmon (no clue if that‘s her real name), went on a quest to become “the Bill Nye of boning.” 😆 From BDSM classes to a Tinder-type app for cuddling and much in between, she experiments while opening up about her own neuroses with sex and relationships. It‘s bold and bawdy and super entertaining. Now, I need to read her first book: Unintentionally Celibate.
