Yumi Stynes: why her Sex book was ripped off shop shelves

Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure and figuring it out, a book written by Melissa Kang of "Dolly Doctor" and TV personality Yumi Stynes, has been removed from department store shelves.

The authors have been subjected to a social media pile-on and Big W has pulled the book from its stores because its staff were being abused.

In this episode of The Briefing, we’re joined by co-author Yumi Stynes who explains why she wrote the book and what she hoped it would achieve....and Yumi certainly didn’t expect it to create this level of controversy.

Headlines:

  • Matildas win their first match of the FIFA World Cup!
  • Three dead including gunman following Auckland shooting spree
  • Robodebt public servant suspended without pay
