Author of Tell Me What You Like: An Honest Discussion of Sex and Intimacy After Sexual Assault, out July 29, 2025. Words in NYT, Vogue, Tin House, BuzzFeed, Washington Post, etc. 🏠 in Texas with 🐶 named Babka 🌈
Thanks @thecut.com for sharing an excerpt of my forthcoming book, Tell Me What You Like: An Honest Discussion of Sex and Intimacy After Sexual Assault! Out July 29th, there are plenty more true survivor stories about sex in the book. Read the excerpt for the debate on orgasms: are they optional?
For some assault survivors, Katie Simon writes in this excerpt from her upcoming book, ‘Tell Me What You Like,’ “good sex” doesn’t happen easily. Sometimes it’s not even the goal.
