Samenvatting:
“Pleasure, Please! is a revelation, a joyful and unapologetic guide that centers Black women’s pleasure, confidence, and healing. With warmth, humor, and honesty, Ashley Cobb reclaims our right to desire and delight, helping us unlearn shame and embrace pleasure as a pathway to self-knowledge, wholeness, and freedom.”
—DR. UCHÉ BLACKSTOCK, Founder and CEO, Advancing Health Equity and New York Times bestselling author of Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine
“In a world that still tries to make Black women feel guilty for wanting pleasure, for claiming it, or for speaking it aloud, Ashley stands boldly in the center of that discomfort and turns it into power. Through her words, she gives Black women permission to exhale, to explore, to name their desires without flinching. This book is more than education; it’s liberation.”
—SHAN BOODRAM, AASECT-certified sex educator, author, and host of LOVERS podcast
