"Verantwortungsvoll ejakulieren" ist der provokante Debattentext für alle, die keine Angst davor haben, patriarchal geprägte Tabus zu brechen. Gabrielle Blair knöpft sich in diesem New York Times-Bestseller den Mythos vor, dass Verhütung Frauensache sei. In 28 bestechenden Argumenten legt sie dar, warum sich Männer darum kümmern müssen – aus physiologischen ebenso wie aus Gerechtigkeitsgründen.

Darüber hinaus können Frauen ihren Eisprung nicht verhindern, während Männer ihren Samen durchaus lenken können – und sei es in ein Kondom.

The wisdom goddesses of yoga who embody shakti, or sacred energy, continue to gain popularity as we become familiar with the ways they help us break through negativity, trauma, and dysfunction to attain self-love, peace, and abundance.
