For years and years, I’ve lived my life as a woman who has been told about sex and shown about sex from a man’s perspective.” The Don’t Hold My Head Down initiative is not only beneficial for those struggling with their mental health, but it can also be beneficial for the music industry as a whole. By reducing the stigma around mental health, the initiative hopes to create an environment in which people are more likely to seek help and support for their mental health needs. Ooo where to start?… Well, this book is quite particular and I knew fairly early on that it wasn’t going to handily fit into a traditional publishing genre, unless ‘explicit comedy memoir with a bit of how to and self help and feminist natter thrown in’ became a genre.

saateri! Nyt on käsissä kirja, joka sekä ilahutti että ärsytti reippaasti. Tykkäsin siitä, että kymmenien seksiaiheisten kirjojen jälkeen sain tästä uusia ajatuksia kupoliini. Kirjoittaja on miun kanssa samaa ikäluokkaa ja muutakin yhteistä tarttumapintaa toki löytyy, samoin hänen lähtötilanteensa on superkiinnostava.

Erityisesti tää ihmetytti, koska usein oltiin ihmiselämän isojen asioiden äärellä, kuten esimerkiksi seksistä kommunikoimisen ja sen, millainen naiskuva pornossa, mediassa ja yhteiskunnassa ylipäätänsä on ja miten se vaikuttaa ihan meidän perustavisten arkeen (tiedostetusti ja tiedostamattakin).
