“The Best Sex Stories of 2018” refers to a Broadly roundup of five stories. One confirmed inclusion was Kristen R. Ghodsee’s book Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism. The accessible record does not identify the roundup’s other four entries, so a complete list cannot be verified here.
What was on Broadly’s 2018 list?
Kristen R. Ghodsee’s December 21, 2018 post, titled “One of Broadly’s five best sex stories of 2018,” links to the Broadly roundup and identifies her book as one of its five inclusions. The book’s full title is Why Women Have Better Sex Under Socialism: And How We Can Make Our Lives More Romantic. Read Ghodsee’s post.
Ghodsee’s post reproduces Broadly’s explanation of the selection: “What happens in our bedrooms is political: Sex isn’t just an act between two consenting adults, but a reflection of our wider society. So when University of Pennsylvania professor Kristen R. Ghodsee released a book explaining how women have better sex under socialism, we knew we had to read it.” This is Broadly’s editorial framing, as reproduced by Ghodsee; it should not be treated as a universal finding about sex or as a quotation from a named individual.
Can the other four stories be named?
Not from the accessible record. Ghodsee’s post confirms the roundup’s size and her book’s inclusion, but it does not give the other four entries or their original story titles. The Broadly page could not be reviewed, so listing additional stories or describing Broadly’s ranking criteria would be speculation.

Why did Broadly include Ghodsee’s book?
Broadly presented the book as a story about the relationship between private relationships and social conditions, describing bedrooms as political and connecting Ghodsee’s argument about socialism with women’s sex lives. That tells readers how Broadly framed this selection; it does not establish that the roundup tested or proved the book’s wider claims.
The confirmed item is a book, not necessarily a conventional reported feature. The evidence available here is too limited to compare the five selections by subject, format, authorship, or reporting approach.
