Written with candor and sensitivity

Stephanie Covington writes with candor and sensitivity as she addresses how women's sexuality is shaped by a male-based society; how dysfunctional families influence a woman's sexuality; what the sexual revolution did for and to women; how women are affected by alcohol, drugs, and AIDS; what the connection is between sexuality and spirituality; and how sexual addiction and sexual abuse recovery groups address sexual issues.
