This book covers it all. It is so much more than the usual book on how to improve your sex life. The author includes all aspects of a healthy and rewarding sexual relationship. The physiology of your body....how it all works is completely explained. The author gives us this information in an easy to read style that everyone can relate to. As a nurse, I am delighted to see topics that may be embarrassing for patients to discuss with their doctors readily and openly explained in this book. Kudos to the author for that. What impressed me the most was the author's ability to illustrate how very important the mind/body connection is regarding sexual health. She teaches us about the emotional components of healthy sex, and dispels our misconceptions and myths. All of this is done in an intelligent and respectful way. The author's sense of humour is clearly evident and makes this book a fun read while she guides us to a healthier sex life and life in general. I am getting copies for my adult daughters and I highly recommend this book to everyone.

A Total Idiot's Review

This book was not only informative, but made me realize how much I still could learn about my own body but was afraid to ask. It is written in an easy-to-read and and sometimes humorous manner -- at least for this idiot reader! I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about having sex, is having sex or has had sex (OK -- so mostly everyone). Well worth the read and an excellent resource to answer oh so many questions.

pick this book up

This book will cover everything you're too embarrased to talk to your provider about, or educates you on topics you never even thought about! Well worth the read.

Answers to Questions you've always wanted to ask.....

I sat down with this book on a Sunday afternoon,my intention was to just flip thru it and see what the topics were.I started w/ sexual diseases..no,never have had any.. just curious!I was so intrigued page after page that I decides to start from the beginning of the book..I sat there and read it cover to cover!!I learned alot about myself and my own personal relationship disfunction in these pages....

It's okay to talk about it!

Health pays off in heightened pleasure and satisfaction! That's the basic idea that informs all of the helpful tips contained in this guide. It seems obvious when stated, but obvious common sense is often not immediately apparent to most of us. We don't notice the connections. This book gently points out all the important connections to the forces and conditions that might impede a satisfying sexual component to our lives. It is easily read, well organized to find specific information quickly, and the writer's style makes the topics very accessible even when they are not things we are usually comfortable talking about. In addition to that, it is full of useful, readily applicable tips to immediately try out. I'm thinking specifically of the section on stretching and the really good section on the mind/body connection and how to short circuit stress! This is a well written, easily read, nonjudgemental and informative guide to healthy self care and increased sexual satisfaction. Lots of great information that is tailored towards people of a certain age (Boomers!) Well worth reading.
