Vintage Sex Books: A Reading and Conversation Across the Decades

Black Bird Bookstore & Cafe (Outer Sunset) Event Link: see venue calendar above ^^ Join us for an evening of reading, discussion, and community as we dive into a vintage sex manual from the 1940s. Enjoy a reading with other curious minds and compare the book's perspectives on sex, relationships, gender, and pleasure to what we know today. Whether you're fascinated by the history of sexuality, love old books, or enjoy thoughtful conversations with other book-lovers, we'd love to see you. For those who have vintage sex books tucked away on their bookshelves at home, feel free to bring one along for an informal show-and-tell! We'll make time to admire, swap stories about, and discuss other titles from decades past. No advance reading is required, and you don't need to own a vintage sex book to attend—just bring your curiosity and a willingness to explore how cultural attitudes toward sex have evolved. Because of the subject matter, this will be an adults-only event. About the Facilitator: This reading and discussion will be led by Myisha Battle, a certified sexologist, educator, and author of Sexual Pleasure For Dummies, This Is Supposed To be Fun and the upcoming Sex Therapy For Dummies (December 2026). She'll read, guide a discussion, offer historical context, and invite attendees to share about the vintage sex books they bring. location provided by event source: "4541 Irving St, San Francisco, CA 94122" ―――――――――― SF Stuff To Do
