Local Midtown Author Releases New Book, 'Not Tonight Dear, I Feel Fat'
Michael Alvear hopes his book helps both women and men feel better about sex and their bodies.

Michael Alvear is a Midtown resident who recently released his latest book, Not Tonight Dear, I Feel Fat: How To Stop Worrying About Your Body & Have Great Sex
Alvear told Midtown Patch, "I'm determined to put this book in the hands of as many women as I can because I'm convinced it's going to alleviate a lot of needless suffering around the issue of "bedroom body shame."
Alvear says 50% of women have put off sex—even when they’re in the mood because they felt too fat. "Women of all shapes and sizes share this alarming anxiety: a body image that’s causing conflict," says Alvear.
The new book is available in the online independent bookstore, Sourcebooks.
