In this groundbreaking new look at rape edited by writer and activist Jaclyn Freidman and Full Frontal Feminism and He's A Stud, She's A Slut author Jessica Valenti, the way we view rape in our culture is finally dismantled and replaced with a genuine understanding and respect for female sexual pleasure. Feminist, political, and activist writers alike will present their ideas for a paradigm shift from the "No Means No" model--an approach that while necessary for where we were in 1974, needs an overhaul today. Yes Means Yes will bring to the table a dazzling variety of perspectives and experiences focused on the theory that educating all people to value female sexuality and pleasure leads to viewing women differently, and ending rape. Yes Means Yes aims to have radical and far-reaching effects: from teaching men to treat women as collaborators and not conquests, encouraging men and women that women can enjoy sex instead of being shamed for it, and ultimately, that our children can inherit a world where rape is rare and swiftly punished. With commentary on public sex education, pornography, mass media, Yes Means Yes is a powerful and revolutionary anthology.

As someone who holds a degree in women's studies, and having read many books on rape, I was hopeful this book would offer the new vision on the subject promised on the cover. While there are a few (very few) interesting and entertaining essays, the majority of the book seems to be women and men recounting their first sexual experiences and ways these might have been better; hardly any groundbreaking theory there. The other issue which lead to my throwing this book in the garbage involves the final chapter, which is an interview with three women, who supposedly represent a comprehensive cross section of sex workers. However, all three of whom are high-paid strippers, hardly a representative sample. There is no mention of women who are trafficked, or of women who engage in sex for survival prostitution; I guess their stories are not quite so empowering. In the end, this is a book with a laudable premise which unfortunately fails to deliver anything near what its title implies.
