Offen ist sexy

DE: Egal ob Muttersprachler*in oder nicht, dieses Buch liefert tolle Ideen, wie man im Bett (und außerhalb) besser kommunizieren kann. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Begriffe für Handlungen und Körperteile, sondern auch darum, wie man Wertschätzungen ausdrückt und Grenzen aufzeigt. Also um etwas, worüber sich jede*r mal Gedanken machen sollte. Dass das auch schön sein kann, zeigt dieses kleine Buch ganz wunderbar. Werde ich definitiv weiter empfehlen!

ENG: Whether you are a german native speaker or not, this book provides great ideas and inspiration on how to communicate better in bed (and out of it). It's not just about terms for specific acts and body parts, but also about how to show appreciation and express/confirm boundaries. Basically, a topic everyone should spend some time thinking about. This little book shows that doing so doesn't have to be a core, but can indeed be beautiful and people may have fun while doing so. I will definitely further recommend the book!

Cute, unique, inclusive

ENG: This cute little zine is a wonderful inspiration for non-native speakers to make use of the german language when it comes to pillow talk – with an emphasis on sex-positivity and inclusion. Native speakers could find this little gem interesting too in case they need little nudge thinking and talking about what turns them on and what doesn't.
The illustrations are really charming and celebrate human sexuality and different gender expressions.

DEU: Dieses niedliche kleine Heft ist eine wunderbare Inspiration für Nicht-Muttersprachler, Deutsch beim Bettgeflüster auszuprobieren - mit dem Schwerpunkt auf Sex-Positivity und Inklusion. Auch für Muttersprachler könnte dieses kleine Juwel interessant sein, falls sie einen kleinen Anstoß brauchen, um darüber nachzudenken (und zu sprechen), was sie anmacht und was nicht.
Die Illustrationen sind superniedlich und feiern menschliche Sexualität und die unterschiedlichen Ausdrücke von Gender und Identität.
