Great book on the pyschological aspects of human sexuality

I found this book to be one of the best and truthfully accurate books on the psychological aspects of human sexual behavior and sexual abuse. Everything she says is accurate and she does it in a non-judgemental way. She is an understanding experianced psychotherapist that has amazing insights. And she is honest and truthful of the ramifications of certain sexual behaviors which rubs some people the wrong way who believe that anything goes in regards to sex. There is information here in her book that is hard to find in other books.

If You've Ever Doubted Yourself, Read This Book!

This book is excellent! It is well thought-out, easy to read, straight-forward, nonjudgemental, intelligently written, and comprehensive.Whether you specifically have low sexual self-esteem or not is immaterial. This book is very helpful because it addresses the core problem of low SEXUAL self-esteem, which is low PERSONAL self-esteem. The writer encourages meaningful analysis in the reader as to why we all have certain sexual preferences and dislikes which we might not have previously understood, and why we don't always stand up for our rights, either in a sexual or nonsexual situation.This book goes way beyond sex. It delves into the experiences and traumas which formed or, more apropriately, have misshapen our childhood/adult personalities and gives the reader the ammunition to effectively deal with the the trauma (which works) instead of running away from or burying it (which doesn't work).
