Product Description:

When it comes to matters of sex, women today are trapped in a reality gap portrayed by the media as confident and fulfilled; yet struggling in everyday life with sexual myths, self-doubt, and "embarrassing" questions. Now women can find the answers they need to take charge of their sexuality both in and outside of the bedroom. This book presents solid, science-based information on the topics that everyone is talking about and those that aren't talked about enough, from how to have more satisfying sex, to questions about hormones, anatomy, STDs, body image, relationships, sexual orientation, and more. Also included are thought-provoking exercises for self-discovery and sexual growth. The book concludes with an extensive listing of suggested books, websites, and organizations. For readers of all ages, this essential reference provides up-to-date advice on the many ways that sex matters in women's lives. [FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, ADD: It will also serve as a useful text in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level human sexuality courses.]


Customer Reviews


4 stars Candid talk about women and sex
This is a well written, candid book written by two certified sex therapists and a clinical psychologist. It provides thorough explanations of adult sexuality, male and female sexual response, aging, healthy body image and the effects of illness, disabiltiy and trauma and overcoming sexual difficulties. There are practical suggestions to address issues throughout the book, and an extensive list of resources on topics from body image to erotica, from masturbation and orgasm to safe sex and STDs, all of which are at least briefly discussed within this book. A few sections may be offensive to some people, but I agree with the authors that omitting information for some people reduces the benefit to others.


4 stars See results, read stories, increase your knowledge
The book, good for old and young lovers, captures a very thorough understanding of sex for all people: well, injured, fragile, or just emotionally frustrated or hurt. The stories and details are helpful as they guide you through fixing some common misconceptions or denial about your own personal idea of sexual satisfaction. It is a very good book all women should have, but it would be just as good for a man seeking to understand and help his wife or lover to find their own sexuality. If I had kids, I would want my daughters to know this information--the information I never was given nor knew before. A very helpful book for me, I hope it would be picked up by others not afraid to tackle their own sexuality.


5 stars The Best Yet
This book is written with a tenderness that is lacking in other books on the subject. Sensitive issues such as sexual dysfunction, abuse, trauma, and body image need to be addressed with compassion- and this book prevails. Comprehensive in its scope but not overwhelming. It's modern, it's fun, it's THE book to buy for understanding your sexual self.


5 stars Recommendation from College Woman
This book was recommended to me in my Women's Health course at my undergraduate university. I picked it up and couldn't put it down! It has made my sex life much more healthy and enjoyable! My roomates and I have loved sitting around and talking about our sex lives and reading exerpts to each other. I am giving it to them for the holidays. I think it makes an excellent gift.


5 stars Excellent suggestions!!!!
My therapist works with one of the authors and suggested this book to help me in my recovery from childhood sexual abuse and becoming more knowlegeable about my own sexuality. I found this VERY informative and helpful. The exercises and suggestions that were given were really helpful and I have bought another copy to give to my sister! Thanks for this book! It is a definite recommendation for any woman (or man who wants to understand his woman) who is looking for an updated guide on sexuality and health.
