I bought this book because I met one of the author’s students. I struck up a conversation with a woman who recommended this book by three University of Michigan faculty members. A counselor and sex therapist, she was a student of coauthor Sallie Foley (allegedly!). And I was glad for the suggestion because I had picked the book up and set it down again.
I would highly recommend this book to any woman. It begins with understanding your own sexual story and why that is important. The informative sections include body knowledge, issues with sex including disability, male sexuality, creating a good sexual relationship, and overcoming sexual difficulties. Examples are given in the form of client stories, and questions are peppered throughout the book that made me think. A thorough appendix includes not only resources but exercises for growth.
We all need to be aware of basic sexual information, and this is one book that provides it.
