Case studies, not fact

At first, i was a bit dissapointed with this book. I was expecting some good and hard facts and some new data regarding the American Woman's sex life (and her dissatisfaction with it). This was unfortuantely not that book. But for what it actually is, it does it well. The book is set up into topical sections that are common road blocks to better sex an intimacy. The topics range from prior abuse, to shame, to dealing with a childs budding sexuality, to sex after kids. Every age group of women will find soemthing to enjoy. Even the parts that were not currently relevant to me (i.e. the child rearing bits) were still a good read. I also applaud the author for having the scope of vision to include every life step for a woman, not just hot 20-something sex. Of special note is the chapter on finding the patterns in your attraction-in other words how to stop liking the jerk. A needed bit of advice. The books conculsions are not scientific, yet the do ring true. At the end of each series of case studies there is a check list to help the reader take charge of failed intimacy and relationships.
