gentle and just right

This is a wonderful, no-pressure book. Really affirming. If you are looking for a "sex tips by porn stars" kind of book or a "three hundred positions for better sex" it is the wrong book. But if you are looking for ways to feel better about yourself, to deal with difficult issues, to enjoy lovemaking more, and to get practical advice about all these issues, it is perfect.

Great book

This book is definitely helpful to anyone having trouble with orgasms. Most of the difficulty was in my head (upbringing, religious background, lack of knowledge). It also addresses health issues and other issues that may be affecting your orgasm or lack thereof. There are some parts in the book that are redundant, but overall this book is excellent and helped solve my problem!!

great for information

I got this book and also 5 minutes to orgasm, but this book is great for people who have problems with orgasm in general. I found this is espesically helpful for women who haven't (or just aren't very good at) masturbating which is where a lot of young women have problems. The author is an expert and has tons of knowledge and experience helping women, plus she writes in an informal way that's fun to read. I love this book! It helped me after only the first couple chapters. It also has trouble shooting for lots of various problems, not just for newbies. If you can orgasm, but not during sex I recomend 5 mintues to orgasm, it is much more geared to that specifc problem.

Helpful Book.

This book was helpful in helping me to overcome my orgasm difficuly. The good thing about this book is that it describes all the problems women have orgasming in depth, and instructs the reader on how to overcome these problems. My only complaint about this book is that the author feels the need to constantly remind the reader that you don't have to orgasm if you don't want to. I found that continous restatement annoying. If I didn't want to orgasm I wouldn't have bought the book.(Hence the four stars instead of five.) However, this book was very helpful to me personally and I believe that it is the only book of it's kind for helping women overcome orgasm difficulty. I would definitely recommend it.

Invaluable Book for both Sex Therapists and the General Reader (Men and Women!)

As a practicing gynecologist with a speciality in sexuality I am thrilled that this invaluable book will now be available to a wider audience. Its practical suggestions, presented in clear and straightforward language, cannot help but improve the sexual satisfaction of everyone who reads it. And sex therapists will also benefit from the wisdom Dr. Cass has accumulated over decades of clinical experience.
