I Love Female Orgasm - book discontinued by Marlowe&Company - review by SneakersAndPearls

So many women grew up with lies, myths, or simply no information about their own anatomy. This amazingly informative yet light and entertaining book dispels myths while teaching about everything "O". Never had an orgasm? There's a section about that. Want to know about different sexual positions and what's popular? There's a section about that. Need to know about resources for sexual abuse survivors? How about accurate anatomy charts, female ejaculation, birth control options or what to do if you are a woman that doesn't O during intercourse? It's all there and more!

Mixed in with the delightfully silly (there is a list of slang for female masturbation and many references to pop culture) is so much information that is never taught. For instance, why the average woman may think, incorrectly, that she's frigid and therefore somehow broken (thanks, Freud), or what to do if she wants to introduce vibrators into a relationship but is worried about what her partner will think.

The authors are careful to point out that the book is not just for women, but men, too, need to know these things. Men aren't taught female anatomy and sexuality any more than women are. The authors tell a great anecdote about men trying to get into the women-only seminars on female orgasms pleading, "But we need to know this, too!" Solot and Miller definitely took the hint and included a section of tips for men who are trying to help their ladies achieve orgasm.

What really brought this book home for me is that sometimes I don't quite know how to explain what I'm feeling or need. The clear and delightful explanations in the chapters helped me be able to explain what it was that I want and understand why I want those things. Because I understand better, I can communicate that with my husband, and we are both better for it.

Unlike most books I have that are read once and then I am done with them, I've found this one to be indispensable. It's a fantastic reference book about all things "O" and I keep it handy!
