For enlightenment, (self-)discovery, inspiration or simply to feed your curiosity - here are eight book recommendations that can accompany and support you on your individual journey to your sexual identity.
Curiosity - visiting other people's bedrooms
The book "Every Body - A Fascinating Journey Through Our World of Sexual Desire and Identity" by author Julia Rothman and filmmaker Shaina Feinberg takes a similar approach. Their work is a hodgepodge of stories, essays, comics, interviews and illustrations on the topic of sex, which also includes the male perspective.
Learning - the basis for good sex
He who practices, comes. That's what Dania Schiftan promises in the first volume of her guidebook series. In "Coming Soon", the sex therapist guides you through a 10-step programme designed to bring you to climax. True to the premise: Orgasm is a matter of practice. In around 200 pages, she encourages us women to explore our bodies better during solo sex and to use this knowledge in a targeted way to feel more during sex.
The titles "Love Your Sex" by Gianna Bacio and Julia Henchen's "Lustfaktor" are similar in terms of the basic idea, with the latter focussing more on masturbation.
Schiftan's second book "Keep It Coming" goes one step further and is aimed at anyone who wants to work on their sexuality as a couple. In it, the author explains how you can reshape deadlocked processes in long-term relationships, overcome sexual obstacles or find your way back into your sexuality after physical changes (such as after giving birth). In short: a companion piece for a togetherness in bed that is fun for both of you.
This book list was created in collaboration with sex therapist Dania Schiftan. She has been working as a sexologist and psychotherapist in her own practice in Zurich for 15 years. She also works as a psychologist at Parship. You can find out more about her and her job in the interview with her. You can find all the other articles in the series here:

When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
