Exhausted by mediocre relationships by the age of 19, Shan shifted her interest to the human condition. “I was 19 and thought, This can’t be it. There’s no way all these movies were made about this thing that’s awful,” she told Playboy. So she spent the next few months self educating. Shan devoured sex books that were full of “great info packaged in the most boringest way,” which is how she found her calling to “marry erotic enticement” with more effective sex education. She published her first book, Laid, before turning her attentions to cultivate the all-important internet presence. An explosion of YouTube followers and Facebook acolytes later, and “Shan Boody” became “one of the most respected new sexperts in the pop-psych sphere”. Shan herself is a goddess: Tall and athletic, with mocha skin and eyebrows that make you understand everyone’s thing for eyebrows. Here’s to many, many more books from Shan Boody. We all need them.
