I Love Female Orgasm review

Whether you're single or with a partner, young or old, inexperienced or multi-orgasmic, queer or straight, I highly recommend you add I <3 Female Orgasm to your bookshelf. Miller and Solot's academic knowledge about sexuality combined with their informal language and sense of humor make for a sensational read. I wish more sex education programs took Miller and Solot's approach to the subject.

Miller talks in his introduction about the irony that the clitoris is often not labeled on a textbook diagram of female genitalia. And that that's as absurd as showing a picture of male genitalia without talking at all about the penis. Well I'm sure glad that I read this book, I was able to correct nearly all my assumptions about my body including where the clitoris was. I had mistakenly identified the shaft of my clitoris as my urethral opening and vice versa. That's a vital bit of information! I owe much thanks to the authors of this book.

Rather than draw on strictly academic research, a lot of what goes into the book are tidbits of student surveys. Sexuality is one of the most diverse things among people and what gets one person off makes another person cringe. The variety of perspective and voices in this book give a very diverse and complete look at sexuality. The diversity and approach to all subjects under the sun in this book does have the one drawback that you won’t get a lot of specialized information in one area. If you want a book solely on masturbation you might want to look elsewhere, but this is a great introduction that touches a little on all subjects. Subjects that I wouldn’t even think to research like pierced genitalia and the psychology of faking.

Not only is the book informative, it can be very entertaining. I read a few excerpts from it out loud (because indeed it made me el oh el) to my friend. I took a supper break later in the day and found my book missing. I checked my bedroom, the kitchen, the living space and even searched through my book bags. Finally I look over to my friend on the couch and I realize she’s engrossed in it. The friend who I can never talk sex with because she seems to have no libido since going on medication. I just smiled knowingly and left her to it. I wasn’t going to interrupt her literary happy hour.

Overall, this is a very hard book to put down and makes for a great first resource on sexuality. "I Love Female Orgasm" is the book to open doors to other books with more specific goals and subjects and belongs on every woman’s coffee table… or on the bookshelf… or in the bathroom cupboard… or in the sock drawer.
