'Shameless Sex' Podcast Hosts Amy Baldwin, April Lambert Release Debut Book

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Sexperts Amy Baldwin and April Lambert, co-hosts of popular podcast "Shameless Sex," have released their first book, available now in major bookstores nationwide.

Titled "Shameless Sex: Choose Your Own Pleasure Path to Unlock the Sex Life You've Been Waiting For," the book is a compilation of sex and relationship advice from over 350 episodes of the podcast, featuring interviews and commentary from doctors, sex educators, therapists and coaches.

"Written in an engaging ‘choose-your-own-journey’ format, readers are empowered to navigate their personal pleasure path," said a rep. "This informative and fun new wellness guide is based on the co-authors' popular podcast 'Shameless Sex' and comes from two sex experts who give sex and relationship advice weekly to thousands."

Baldwin, a certified sex educator, sex and relationship coach, and co-owner of online retailer Pure Pleasure Shop, elaborated on the book's concept.

"Regardless of gender, sexuality, or relationship status, the book helps readers embrace their desires, gain confidence in relationships, and explore an ever-changing world of sexual pleasure to cultivate one’s dream sex life," she said. "Designed to be revisited time and time again whenever those new, inevitable questions about sex and relationships arise — this is the handy guide to tackle those burning queries."

Lambert, who is also co-owner of pleasure brand Hot Octopuss, added, "Through ‘Shameless Sex: Choose Your Own Pleasure Path to Unlock the Sex Life You've Been Waiting For,’ we want to inspire radical self-love, sexual empowerment and shame-free intimacy. The same passion, depth and connection we bring to our podcast, we brought onto the page — with actionable, real-world advice to cultivate the sex of their dreams."

The co-authors are holding a live book launch tomorrow evening at Monarch in San Francisco, including a topless reading and signing, from 6-8 p.m. (PST).

The book, published by BenBella, is available in hardcover, audiobook and digital form from Amazon, Babeland, Barnes & Noble, BenBella, Books-A-Million, Bookshop, Discover Books, Fun Factory, Good Vibes and Penguin Random House, among other retailers.
