Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When it comes to matters of sex, women today are trapped in a reality gap portrayed by the media as confident and fulfilled; yet struggling in everyday life with sexual myths, self-doubt, and "embarrassing" questions. Now women can find the answers they need to take charge of their sexuality both in and outside of the bedroom. This book presents solid, science-based information on the topics that everyone is talking about and those that aren't talked about enough, from how to have more satisfying sex, to questions about hormones, anatomy, STDs, body image, relationships, sexual orientation, and more. Also included are thought-provoking exercises for self-discovery and sexual growth. The book concludes with an extensive listing of suggested books, websites, and organizations. For readers of all ages, this essential reference provides up-to-date advice on the many ways that sex matters in women's lives. [FOR PROFESSIONAL USE, ADD: It will also serve as a useful text in advanced undergraduate and graduate-level human sexuality courses.] <BR> Book News Annotation:Three sex therapists/clinical psychologists offer a comprehensive
guide to women's sexuality. Emphasis is placed on five crucial ways
a woman can take care of her sexual self: knowing her sexual story;
understanding her body; making peace with her body; creating a better
sexual relationship; and overcoming sexual difficulties. The book
includes a series of exercises for sexual growth and a few b&w line
drawings.
