'I'm hungry to go on this journey. Sofie is smashing and remoulding her readers understanding of sex, gender and body politics by deeply penetrating where others just stroke the surface.' - Sara Pascoe Comedian and co-founder of The Guilty Feminist podcast Sofie Hagen has not had sex in 3,000 days (and counting). And it turns out, she's not the only one. In attempting to find out why we're not having the sex we want, Sofie asks the questions: can we blame a lacking sex education? Is it all just sexual trauma? Where's the radical sexual liberation we were promised? What are we going to do about this? Should she have slept with that guy in that bush that one time? How do you overcome being a 35 year-old virgin (when it comes to queer sex, that is)? How do the socially awkward and the neurodiverse have sex? In Will I Ever Have Sex Again?, Sofie Hagen explores the quirks and difficulties of being 'involuntary celibate' (but one of the feminist, progressive ones) through introspection and conversations with experts, therapists, sex workers, porn stars, comedians and public figures.

Happy Fat: Taking Up Space in a World That Wants to Shrink You

'Perfect, kind, hilarious and persuasive' Lena Dunham 'I am a fat person and I love my body. I feel lucky to be able to say that - it has taken a lot of work and a lot of time. I want to tell you what I have learned and how I got here.' In Happy Fat, comedian Sofie Hagen shares how she removed fatphobic influences from her daily life and found self-acceptance in a world where judgement and discrimination are rife. From shame and sex to airplane seats, love and getting stuck in public toilets, Sofie provides practical tips for readers - drawing wisdom from other Fat Liberation champions along the way. Part memoir, part social commentary, Happy Fat is a funny, angry and impassioned look at how taking up space in a culture that is desperate to reduce you can be radical, emboldening and life-changing.
