Others have turned to Janet W. Hardy’s ‘The Ethical Slut’, ‘The New Topping Book’ and ‘The New Bottoming Book’ – for advice on the most challenging questions of sex, polyamory, kink, and self-identity.

But Janet had to make it up as she went. How did she do it? Well, as you might expect from the co-author of ‘Sex Disasters… and How to Survive Them’, it hasn’t all been roses (or thorns for that matter).

Here, in Impervious, Janet takes you through the five twisty stages of her own kinky life – mirroring those of any good scene – negotiation, warmup, engagement, climax, and aftercare.

Delicious (and surprising) details await you inside. Bon Appétit!

Hazel ★★★★★

I've read both 'The Ethical Slut' and 'The New Topping Book' by the same author, so I knew this one would be just as thoughtful and challenging. The way it blends personal confession with practical advice on polyamory and kink feels incredibly honest and refreshing.

Adam L. ★★★★☆

I picked this up after reading some of Hardy's other work, and I like how it focuses on the personal journey rather than just being another how-to guide. The section on aging within kink communities felt really genuine and gave me a lot to think about.
