Experience the beauty of romance in this charmingly illustrated book showcasing true stories of true love, in all its magnificence and mess.

From The New Yorker contributor and @drawingolive Instagrammer Olivia de Recat comes a heartwarming look at love, in its many forms. Drawing on interviews with "the best couples she knows"—young and old, from all walks of life—de Recat explores the question: what makes love work? But instead of trying to solve the puzzle of all relationships, ever, Drawn Together simply reflects the world back to itself, with stories of love and belonging, from pet names, to first date anxieties, to the enduring tales of life-long partnership. 

Throughout, Olivia gracefully weaves in her own experiences, exploring how sometimes finding love can mean learning to embrace yourself. A perfect gift for a partner, a couple celebrating an anniversary, or a friend who just went through a break up, Drawn Together is a hopeful, humorous, entertaining book that will inspire even the shiest among us to take a chance on love.

Available July 5, 2022 from Hachette Audio as a digital download, and in Print and Ebook from Voracious.

Avec le recul des années, il comprend aujourd'hui qu'une relation qu'il croyait consensuelle était en fait vécue sous la contrainte, et il la qualifie lui-même de viol.

Why don’t we understand how the female orgasm works? After years of scientific research, the male body is understood but when it comes to how women work, we are a long way behind. Why is there this gap in knowledge? 



It appears research has been hindered by the assumption that the female body works in the same way as the male body and that for women, arousal is all in the mind. There’s also a general attitude that studying sexual pleasure isn’t important and that female orgasms aren’t important to study as they serve no purpose for reproduction.



Researchers are slowly correcting these assumptions and making surprising discoveries.



We’ll take you behind the scenes to two orgasm labs to bring you the latest research on how orgasms work for women. We’ll also hear from Callista, who struggled with excruciating pain during sex for many years but was told the problem was all in her mind. Her journey to diagnosis shows how little is known, even amongst gynaecologists and doctors, about female sexual pleasure.

The Female Orgasm

BrnCncpt - Mondo Funky

De Catwoman aux bêtes humaines, on adore sexualiser notre part animale... ou animaliser notre part sexuelle ! La manière dont nous exprimons notre plaisir bruisse de miaous, grrr et autres han-han. Quand les mots nous manquent, nous revenons à un état fantasmé de nature - au risque d'amputer nos galipettes d'une humanité qui nous est bien spécifique. Et qui nous serait sacrément bénéfique.​
