Product Description
Popular TV shows like "Sex in the City" portray women as no-holds-barred sexual adventurers: confident, free, and fulfilled. But the reality is that many women still lack the knowledge they need to make informed sexual decisions, enjoy sexual pleasure, and take charge of their sexuality both in and outside of the bedroom. This incisive, authoritative guide provides up-to-date advice on the sexual questions, dilemmas, and conflicts that women face throughout life. It helps women make peace with their bodies and personal histories, break free of persistent myths and cultural clichés, and demystify the physiological side of sex (anatomy, hormones, reproduction, orgasm, sexual health, and more). Helpful information is also presented for women coping with such challenges as injury and disability, sexual pain, and trauma. Regardless of sexual orientation or personal values, all women will find practical guidance and problem-solving ideas in this frank yet sensitive book.
Amazon.com Review
After 1960, the birth control pill and changing cultural mores promised women the freedom to explore and celebrate their sexuality. Yet decades later, women are still disappointed and dissatisfied sexually. Sex Matters for Women promises to "help you succeed where the sexual revolution failed" in finding sexual fulfillment. The authors, all sex therapists, have packed this self-help guide with information, anecdotes, and exercises for women of all ages and orientations. They explain anatomy and sexual functioning in detail, but they also acknowledge that your sexual response is affected by more than your body parts. Your sexual history, body image, and the quality of your relationship play a huge role. You'll explore where your attitudes and difficulties come from and examine both the physiological and emotional components of your sexuality. Dozens of exercises show you how to start to make changes today that will enhance your quality of life as well as your sexuality. "You can spend your entire life capable of sexual response, pleasure, and enjoyment," promise the authors. "To what extent, and in what ways, you fulfill the promise of your adult sexuality is up to you." This warm and practical guide shows you how to get started. --Joan Price
