Of “Guide to Wicked Sex: Plus Size” XCritic reviewer Sex Reed writes, “jessica drake deserves a lot of credit not just for featuring an addition to her instructional series about plus-size sex, but by doing it with such care and attention. [Everything felt appropriate.] So much of the adult industry is catering to an unlikely fantasy (and that’s why we love it so much), but here, drake and host/star Kelly Shibari seem intent on making that fantasy more of a reality and leading to better sex from its viewers.”

“Plus it reinforces body positivity for men and women,” Sex Reed said. “It’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”
