About the Book

Are my genitals normal? Does size matter? Is masturbation bad for me? How important is sex to a relationship?

In The Sex Book, award-winning sex educator Leeza Mangaldas provides scientifically accurate, judgement-free answers to even your most seemingly awkward questions about sex and the body.

From anatomy to hygiene, from consent to contraception, from masturbation to orgasms, she fills many knowledge gaps with her sharp insights, developed over years of researching the physical, social and emotional aspects of sex and sexuality.

Sex education is central to greater gender equality, improved sexual and reproductive health, and a safer, more love-filled world. Queer-inclusive, and focused on pleasure, this groundbreaking sex-ed handbook will help you better understand yourself, your body and your relationships, and show you how sex can be incredibly fun and magical.

Talking about the book Leeza Mangaldas says, ‘Writing The Sex Book—my first book—is an absolute dream come true for me. The overwhelming response my sex education videos have received over the last 5 years made me realize that people of all genders and age groups recognize the need for greater awareness about sex, sexual health, sexuality and the body. My vision has been to write a book about sex that is as useful as it is joyful. I hope that this book will serve as the scientifically accurate, judgement-free, pleasure-inclusive manual that helps generations of Indians navigate and celebrate their bodies, identities and relationships!’

Poulomi Chatterjee, Publisher at HarperCollins Publishers India, says, ‘Over the years Leeza Mangaldas has invested a tremendous amount of time, energy and empathy to address a crying need in India—fact-based, frank and bias-free conversations around sexual health, pleasure and sexuality that will eventually encourage gender equality and inclusivity. We’re delighted to be publishing The Sex Book, which distils Leeza’s in-depth research on the topic and is an invaluable manual that is truly a first of its kind. Accessible and comprehensive, it will educate, guide, clarify, shatter ill-informed myths about sex and the body, and inspire readers to embrace body positivity, sex positivity and healthier relationships.’
