About the Book
An irreverent, lighthearted, and judgment-free handbook on how to have better dates, sex, and partnerships—without relying on alcohol.
Dating, hookups, and romance can be a huge source of anxiety and pressure. When you’re intimidated or overwhelmed, it’s easy to use alcohol to feel more relaxed and outgoing. But what if you no longer want to have booze in your life? What do you do on dates? How do you soothe worries and hang-ups? And how the heck do you work up the nerve to be naked with someone new?
In Dry Humping, sober sexpert Tawny Lara shows you how to replace “liquid courage” with real courage at every stage of the dating game, ultimately building stronger sexual and romantic relationships. You’ll find:
- Booze-free date ideas
- Scripts for awkward conversations
- Interviews with experts
- Thought-provoking prompts
- Perspectives from regular people
- And more!
You don’t need alcohol to have a fun, carefree, fulfilling dating life—and in fact, you may find that giving up booze brings you closer to your partners and to yourself. Dry Humping will offer you the tools to step away from alcohol, for however long you want to, while also having more fun in and out of the bedroom.
