I Love Female Orgasm - erotic book by Marlowe&Company - review by StrawberryEve

Dorian Solot and Marshall Miller are sex educators and a real-life couple who have dedicated their careers to teaching people about the female orgasm. I had no experience reading their work before, but author Marshall Miller and fellow sex educator Rachel Dart recently visited my university where they held a program, during which they were selling this book. I was able to ask them questions and shake their hands after the program. Knowing that the authors were passionate about the subject just made the book that much more enjoyable, and I had quite a large fangirl moment because of it. I was very happy that they were honest and friendly when answering the audience's questions, and that they were very friendly to GLBTTQQAI issues.

I Love Female Orgasm is an easy-to-read book that compiles research, survey results, and the authors' own personal experiences into one 276-page book (not including a ten-page index).

I'll admit I've only had one orgasm in my life. But this book is for people of all age ranges, sexual orientations, and genders, whether you have never had an orgasm before or whether you've had plenty of your own. The many topics included in this book include masturbation, oral sex, intercourse and the female orgasm, the G-spot and female ejaculation, sex toys, and even entire chapters written especially for men or for those in the GLBT community.

In the introduction, the authors explain what got them into teaching about the female orgasm, including how Solot's knowledge of her own body quite possibly saved her life. She's professed how important it is for a woman to be comfortable with her sexuality and her body, because it really can make a difference. Miller recalled how his junior high and high school taught sexuality and how he was brought into teaching the male side of the female orgasm. You get to know how much the authors enjoy what they do and how important they both think the female orgasm is.

This was my first educational book outside of the brief sections on puberty in health books when I was a kid, and I was very happy to see charts, diagrams, and recommended reading for different subjects included in the text. I was a personal fan of the random facts and interesting experiences that were sprinkled throughout the book. Not only was the content informative and insightful, but it was so entertaining that I didn't want to put the book down.

The tenth chapter in the book surprised me because it was all about anal sex. I expected the G-spot, clitoral stimulation, and even the final chapter on safe sex and birth control, but I wasn't expecting anal sex to be included in this book. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that they included tips for making anal sex more enjoyable if you are trying it out.

If there are two tips from the book that they can't stress enough, they are how much of a difference using lube and doing Kegels can make. An entire subsection is devoted to each one! And if there are any tips that everyone should follow, it is definitely those two.
