A 'must read' for women of all ages.
Beverly Whipple, PhD, RN, FAAN, coauthor of The G Spot The second edition of Sex Matters for Women will allow me to quietly retire my tattered and worn copy of the first edition. I have lent this superb book to dozens of the women I have treated.
Sheryl A. Kingsberg, PhD, Professor of Reproductive Biology and Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University This second edition takes a classic book on female sexuality to another level. It is comprehensive and grounded in research, yet fun to read alone or with a partner. With a focus on female sexual satisfaction and pleasure, this book is a 'must have' for women of all ages and backgrounds. I can't wait to share it with my daughter!
Hilda Hutcherson, MD, author of What Your Mother Never Told You About SexThis is my favorite book on women's sexuality and sexual health! In the second edition, the authors respond to new research and deliver an up-to-date, even more enlightening book that emphasizes the positive. It's an empowering guide that you can fully rely on for accurate information and useful exercises for sexual growth. I especially love how the book celebrates female sexuality in its many diverse forms.
Pamela H. Stephenson-Connolly, PhD, author of Sex LifeThis is a book you can trust. The authors obviously know and care a great deal about helping women have fulfilling sex lives. The first edition was terrific, and the updated second edition is even better.
Pepper Schwartz, PhD, author of Prime: Adventures and Advice on Sex, Love, and the Sensual Years- Coverage is comprehensive and accurate, with information about issues that are rarely addressed.
