Description

Winner of the 2015 Evelyn Richardson Non-fiction Award

Revised and expanded tenth anniversary edition, featuring new essays and an introduction by Christa Couture.

This is a sex book. It’s a book about fucking yourself, fucking someone you love, fucking strangers. It’s about saying words like cunt and come, and all manner of perverse verbiage. Mostly, it’s about speaking honestly about our bodies and our vulnerability, recognizing we’re all imperfect, worthy, and desirable.

In this ten year anniversary edition of Hot, Wet & Shaking, Kaleigh Trace—disabled, queer, sex therapist—chronicles her journey from ignorance to bliss as she shamelessly discusses her sexual exploits and bodily negotiations. Trace’s memoirs and essays generously welcome the reader into her world, modelling a humour and radical self acceptance that can teach us all how to talk about sex, and then some.

About the author

Kaleigh Trace will do anything roughly four times. A girl learns best by doing (it), y’know? And learn she has, writing it all down along the way. Her pieces have appeared in The Coast, The Huffington Post, CRIT, The Tide, and her own blog: The Fucking Facts. As a (dis)abled, feminist, sex educator she has spoken at conferences across Canada. From her home base in Halifax, NS, Kaleigh shares her ideas and experiences, promoting safe and shame-free sexuality, in print and on the internet at every opportunity.
