I'd Rather Eat Chocolate by Joan Sewell
Ever wished your libido came with an off switch? In Joan Sewell's laugh-out-loud memoir, I'd Rather Eat Chocolate, she navigates the complexities of a mismatched sex drive in her marriage with refreshing honesty. From awkward quickies to the allure of sexy lingerie (that mostly stays in the drawer), Joan chronicles her attempts to reignite the spark, revealing a heartfelt exploration of desire, intimacy, and self-acceptance. With humor and vulnerability, she unpacks the pressures of societal expectations and the often-useless advice from so-called experts, ultimately discovering the true meaning of connection in a long-term relationship. Can she bridge the gap between her own needs and her husband Kip's always-ready libido, or will their differences pull them apart?
