Ok maybe I’m a little embarassed to be reading/reviewing this one, but it’s hard to date in a world where alcohol is the main event around so much of relationships, intimacy, etc.
I’ve read a ton of quit lit but never one like this that is more specific to a going through a certain part of life without alcohol. There are sections for single people and sections for people on relationships with/without alcohol present so really anyone on a sobercurious journey could benefit. I also appreciate that the author includes lgbtqia+ perspectives! And cmon we gotta love the title!

Tawny Lara’s book Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze is an informative, relatable read about living an alcohol free life.
This book happened to be my last read of 2023 and as we head into the new year (potentially dry January) for some of you, I can’t recommend this book enough.
One of my favorite parts about becoming a writer myself is building a broader community with deep thinkers and healers. Tawny certainly fits the bill as she explores relationships and sex without alcohol in Dry Humping.
ALSO, this book is judgement free, solidly researched and positioned to be a helpful resource for a lot of people. It includes solid information, questions for self-reflection and interviews with experts - all packaged in a digestible, queer inclusive package.
If you’re sober curious or exploring your relationship with alcohol and dating this book is a great resource. I know that I’ll definitely be recommending it to folks who want extra support in exploring the ideas in this book.

Author Tawny Lara offers a fun and non-judgmental guide to having better sex, dates, and relationships without relying on alcohol. The book provides practical tools such as alcohol-free date ideas, conversation scripts, expert interviews, and thought-provoking prompts.
Lara emphasizes that a fulfilling dating life doesn't require alcohol and empowers readers to step away from it while still having fun in and out of the bedroom. Dry Humping is an engaging read that inspires and equips readers to forge meaningful connections without alcohol.

A must-read for anyone who is currently experimenting with sober curiosity, going alcohol free, or dating in (New York especially). Filled with sensitivity and tips for establishing real human connection, no matter your relationship to drinking, and filled with data and interviews with people from all walks of life. Super informative and genuinely fun to read!

I’m a person in long term recovery and I am always on the hunt for decent quit-lit. This felt like a great intro for anyone who is wondering about what dating could look like when you’re first testing out the waters of recovery or just want to cut down on drinking and practice more mindful dating.
I know I would have appreciated a book like this when I was first questioning my relationship with alcohol.
The reflective prompts are also great for anyone who is new in recovery or have a couple years under their belt.
