Customer Reviews

very insightful and complete

This book is COMPLETE. It has everything from helpful directions on how to self-love in a more fulfilling way to product reviews and resources (a few of which I actually used. It is an uplifting, feminism positive, self esteem boosting book every girl should have. The book addresses and explains society's "problem" with masturbation and why people view it as "bad." The book is great for beginners and those of us who just want more ideas for "getting off" This book is sex-positive, serious and with cartoon caricatures it is fun at the same time. Waxman even addresses SAFETY ISSUES of certain materials used in products in her reviews section like "jelly" material and the toxins they have in them.

Everyone will learn something from this book. It's packed with interesting and useful information (from very basic to sophisticated) and contains a huge list of resources if you want to know more (or, want to buy some of the great gadgets Jayme writes about). In addition, Jayme peppers the book with quotes from real women so you can know what the rest of us are thinking without having to ask.

If you're a man, you will understand womens' bodies (and minds) in a way that will make you a better lover. Jayme writing is smart and fun. You'll feel like you're talking to one of your girlfriends at a slumber party. Most importantly, she tells it like it is without apology. Sex is fun! Get this book and let Jayme show you how to make it even better!

First things first... I think that all women should have this book! It wouldn't hurt if men read it too. There is all kinds of interesting information about a women's anatomy that I wasn't aware of. It has good tips and reviews for toys and other products you can use. I also like the fact that it has quotes from women all over the country through out it. A must read.
