    Book SynopsisDiscover the empowering truth about your body from Dr. Sarah E. Hill, the leading researcher on women?s hormones. Part science and part feminist guide, this essential book demystifies the hormonal cycle, PMS, and PMDD, and advocates for a new understanding of women?s health.Do you ever wish you could skip the week or two leading up to your period?You aren?t alone?most women feel like they are riding a horrible premenstrual roller coaster every month that leaves them feeling emotional, bloated, tired, anxious, and even unsexy. Dr. Sarah E. Hill, an award-winning researcher who has spent two decades studying women?s psychology and health, explains why we feel so universally icky before our periods and?more importantly?what to do about it.The problem isn?t that women are hormonal; the problem is that the second half of the menstrual cycle?the luteal phase, when the hormone progesterone rises and estrogen decreases?has been systematically excluded by science. Progesterone is at the heart of every feeling we associate with PMS: it affects our daily sleep and calorie needs (hello, cravings!); whom we?re attracted to; our sex drive; and?as every woman can attest?our mood. Because the luteal phase is understudied, every bit of health, diet, relationship, and exercise advice you?ve followed is based on that first, estrogen-glow half of the month or, worse, was designed for men. The rules that work for us in the first two weeks of the cycle don?t always fit in the second, causing most of us to spend half the month following advice that is completely at odds with the way our bodies work at this time. It?s no wonder we feel awful!The Period Brain is a science-tested roadmap to understanding PMS and PMDD, and your ultimate guide to having a better period by making shifts to the way you eat, sleep, exercise, and socialize in the luteal phase. Discover how to take better care of yourself and your body, no matter when your period is due.

    Book SynopsisDr. Bat Sheva Marcus believes a healthy, fulfilling sex life is a right for all women. But many women don''t quite believe that themselves; they think that a diminished sex drive is natural, pain during sex is to be expected, and no orgasms?...well, too bad! As a veteran sex therapist, Dr. Marcus has seen everything and knows firsthand that all that is rubbish.Most of the books you find on how to have a good sex life focus on emotional intimacy and behavior--or, like the Cosmo quizzes say, sexy lingerie and a beach vacation. But there''s more to it than that. For most women, while there are relationship and emotional components that are critical to a healthy sex life, there is also a hefty physiological or medical component driving their desire. And until you know what''s really going on, all the lingerie and sexy couples'' time won''t really help. Your sex life is complex, made up many different aspects of your life; these variables shift and change over time--and a

    Book SynopsisWhen OUR BODIES, OURSELVES was first published in 1970, it was the first book to give women truthful, complete information about their sexual and reproductive health. Today, our understanding of sexuality and health are radically different--yet there''s no similar book that synthesises a progressive understanding of gender, ability, identity and size. Until now.EVERY BODY is the first radically inclusive compendium of stories, essays, interviews, and art about sex. These deeply personal stories--covering topics as varied as first times, being in an open relationship, learning to accept hairy butts and extra nipples, accidental pregnancies, sex toys, pleasure, fears, traumas, and more--take the stigmatised topics and questions we''ve all had but have always been afraid to ask, and turn them into words of guidance, confidence, and community.

    Book SynopsisAn extraordinary, explicitly masculine journey, Men In Love develops a startlingly honest portrayal of what it means to be a man in contemporary America. Here are the unexpurgated dreams, fantasies and fetishes that excite and obsess men today. In creating this historic study, Nancy Friday listened--without disapproval, apology or censorship--to the candid responses of thousands of men aged fourteen through sixty. She gave them a legitimate arena where they could share their secret gardens--the hidden and forbidden but nonetheless real and true. Much more than a litany of erotica, this unique volume doesn't tell us how men should love. It tells us how men do love--a stunning insight into the desires that dwell within men's psyches... and their hearts.

  • Crazy for You

    Hachette Books Crazy for You

    Book Synopsis A psychologist and bestselling author redefines love and sex addiction as a spectrum disorder, and offers a new approach for healing.  For anyone who has wonderedWhy does everyone else seem to be able to make romantic relationships work, and I can’t?What’s wrong with me?Why is love so hard?Psychologist and bestselling memoirist Kerry Cohen is all too familiar with the questions she often hears from her clients—and has asked herself. Even though sex and love are some of the most universal, sought-after experiences we have, many of us lack the tools and understanding to approach them in a healthy way. Without knowing it, many people struggling with sex and love actually fall somewhere on the spectrum of sex and love addiction (SLA). Sex and love addiction is still wildly misunderstood. It’s shrouded in secrecy and shame, and many counselors lack the training to address it—leaving people who need help without resources. Yet SLA isn’t a binary of you are or you aren’t, rather, it’s a spectrum. Kerry Cohen knows this all too well as both a therapist and someone who identifies on the SLA spectrum. Based on research and her own clinical experience, Crazy for You dives into SLA and provides an inclusive framework for understanding relationships, along with practical exercises and advice for self-assessment, discovery, and healing: Part one explains the sex and love addiction spectrum, helping you determine where you fall on it and how you got there Part two introduces strategies for breaking the spell of sex and love addiction, like behavior modifications and self-awareness techniques Part three teaches you how to navigate healthy, safe, and fulfilling relationships

  • Read My Lips

    Rowman & Littlefield Read My Lips

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisMany, if not most, people remain in the dark about the actual workings of the vagina and vulva. The primary purpose of Read My Lips is to educate women and men about the vulva and vagina in a manner that is smart, informative, and entertaining. Readers, both women and men alike, will come to think differently about women''s genitals and become a little more curious and a lot more comfortable with them. They will learn more about the female body in terms of health, sex, pleasure, culture, and art. Though based on sound scientific and medical research, Read My Lips is accessible to the masses, so women and men who are curious about the clitoris, Brazilian waxing, labiaplasty, or whether the G-spot really exists, will find something of interest in these pages. Chapters focus on sex and the vulva/vagina which, in spite of the many interesting cultural and historical aspects of vulva and vagina lore, remains of central interest to many people - as it should, given that women''s genitals, Trade ReviewHerbenick, associate director and research scientist at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion, Indiana University, as well as a sex columnist and author (Because It Feels Good: A Woman’s Guide to Sexual Pleasure and Satisfaction), and Schick, a social psychologist at the center have penned a book “for anyone who has a vulva, loves someone with a vulva, came from a vagina, or is just plain curious about their parts.” The two Ph.D.s cover a number of vulva-related topics, including the parts of the vulva, women’s attitudes toward their genitals, vaginal problems such as yeast and bacterial infections, and sexual issues. Anything but priggish or clinical, the authors also tackle such subjects as grooming genital hair and how to make a vulva costume or throw a vulva-themed dinner party. The book is also filled with fascinating facts about the vulva (for example, the word “cunt” may have evolved from the Asian goddess Cunti). While imparting current research and useful advice, the authors play with words (i.e., “The Age of Clitarius”) and include such humorous anecdotes as the tale of a woman who inadvertently used her child’s glittery craft washcloth to wipe her vulva before visiting her gynecologist. Readers “18 to 80” will find this informative yet lively text goes above and beyond in addressing everything they ever wanted to know about the vulva and vagina. * Publishers Weekly *This book about the vulva makes The Vagina Monologues seem tame. Written in a chatty style by two scientists at the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University, it gives explicit details about sexually transmitted infections, piercings (they may tear condoms), vibrators (nonporous materials, such as glass, are best), lesbian relationships (sex toys), tampons (they can’t get through the cervix), and pubic hair (Playboy models mostly shave). Chapters titled “Meet the Vulva,” “Vulvalicious: Vulvas and Vaginas in Bed,” “The Hair down There,” and “Evulvalution: Vulva Culture” end with a quizzes. A typical question and answer: “When do doctors recommend that an average woman should douche? Never ever.” The writers share stories about themselves, such as when Schick used pubic hair dye. Sometimes they get too cutesie, using such made-up words as “cunt-parisons” and “cuntclusions.” The photographs, which depict women’s vulvas and a knit vulva from the International Vulva Knitting Circle Collection, are certainly unusual. Herbenick and Schick’s intimate guide will educate and entertain women who grew up with birth control and Sex and the City. * Booklist *This diverse and informative tour spans health, sex, and V-culture. While the thorough health and sex chapters cover pretty standard sex-book territory, the numerous stops on the culture route pick up on less commonly mentioned size/shape variations, pubic hair styling and coloring, labiaplasty, V-knitting circles and other V-crafts, vulvas in prehistory and myth, V-activism, and a DIY vulva costume. Kinsey Institute researchers Herbenick (Because It Feels Good) and Schick bring extensive knowledge together with a welcoming-all-options attitude. References and an excellent resource list encourage readers to explore favorite topics further....Necessary and entertaining cultural content for 21st-century gals, teens and up. * Library Journal *Lips are no longer sealed as Herbenick and Schick expose everything you want to know-need to know-about having a happy, healthy vulva and vagina. While remaining thorough, evidence-based, and inclusive, this easy-to-read advocacy effort will have you spreading 'em as never before, whether for self-care or stimulation. -- Yvonne K. Fulbright Ph.D, sexologist, sexuality educator & author of nine books, including Sultry Sex Talk to Seduce Any LoverI didn't move my lips when reading Read My Lips except to smile often. Authors Debby Herbenick, PhD and Vanessa Schick, PhD., have a light touch, which is something much to be hoped for from anyone concentrating on women's delicate parts. Where else might one learn within the first twenty pages eighty different names for female genitalia, common health concerns that might afflict their owners, and how to attend a costume party dressed as a do-it-yourself vulva? This book offers excellent and thorough information and can be used as an owner's or user's manual, most preferably to be read together. -- Isadora Alman, MFT, author of Doing It: Real People Having Really Good SexUnder-appreciated and misunderstood, our vulvas and vaginas need allies. Herbenick and Schick are perfect teachers, breaking down myths and engaging readers in practical and fun ways. An e-vulva-lution is definitely on its way. -- Dr. Kat Van Kirk, sexologist and host of the podcast Sex Chat with Dr. Kat and Her Gay BoyfriendInformative, entertaining, empowering, and compassionate; this book almost made me wish I was straight. This book will save lives-sex lives and otherwise. Buy three copies-one for your daughter, one for your son, one for yourself. -- Dan Savage, Savage Love columnist and founder of the It Gets Better ProjectRiveting - I read the whole book, cover to cover, in a single sitting. Written from the perspective of a warm, non-judgemental and super-knowledgeable best friend, this book is invaluable for anyone who is parenting a daughter. This book will make a huge contribution to the lives of women and girls - helping them to know and appreciate their bodies more, keep themselves healthy, and experience greater sexual pleasure.

Whether explaining, with humor, the differences between a vagina and a vulva, or writing in a more serious vein about what it means to take control of your sexual health, the authors make serious topics more accessible to the average reader. * Feminist Collections: A Quarterly Of Women's Studies Resources *Table of ContentsINTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1: Meet the Vulva CHAPTER 2: A Healthy, Happy Vulva: Taking Care Down There CHAPTER 3: Vulvalicious: Vulvas and Vaginas in Bed CHAPTER 4: How Do I Look?

Sex is dying in America. Inundated with sex and starved for it, obsessed with it yet clueless about it, we are slowly forgetting how to make love. The crisis of modern sexuality is seen in high divorce rates, in the degradation of sexuality through pornography, and tasteless displays of empty, counterfeit erotica. Most of all, it''s seen in sexless marriages and platonic relationships where cybersex has become more addictive than the real thing. Sex has become so trivialized, coarsened, and vulgarized that couples no longer feel its pull. The once powerful and irresistible magnetism of sex is being diluted and drained.The authors propose replacing the 1960s'' sexual revolution with a new sensual revolution, a rediscovery of intimacy that encourag

    Book SynopsisToo often, parents wear blinders when it comes to the sex lives of their children. They hear the statistics - how 80% of college students have engaged in rough sex or how one in four teens have sent or received a sext - and think, “Not my kid.” Yes, Your Kid is the reality check parents need about what sex is like today - so they can better educate and support their tweens, teens, and college students. Combining insights from cutting-edge research, conversations with real students, and on-the-ground legal experience, Yes, Your Kid provides: An overview of key topics in sexuality, from communication and consent to pornography and rough sex, describing how things have changed. Real-world legal stories illustrating today’s consensual sex pitfalls - and how to help your child avoid them. Age-appropriate tools to not only talk to tweens, teens, and college-aged kids about sex and consent, but also build a healthy foundation with younger children. Concrete advice parents can share directly with their children so that - if and when their children become sexually active with partners - they are more likely to have safer, consensual sex. Plus, a chapter focused on the consent, communication, and relationship education needs of young people on the autism spectrum. Authoritative, supportive, sex-positive, and facts-forward, Yes, Your Kid provides parents with the frank, accurate information they and their children need to safely navigate today’s sexual landscape.

  • Been There, Done That: A Rousing History of Sex

    Bold Type Books Been There, Done That: A Rousing History of Sex

    Book SynopsisA rollicking, myth-busting history of sex that moves from historical attempts at birth control to Hildegard von Bingen’s treatise on the female orgasm, demystifying plenty of urban legends along the way.Roman physicians told female patients they should sneeze out as much semen as possible after intercourse to avoid pregnancy. Historical treatments for erectile dysfunction included goat testicle transplants. In this kaleidoscopic compendium of centuries-old erotica, science writer Rachel Feltman shows how much sex has changed—and how much it hasn’t. With unstoppable curiosity, she debunks myths, breaks down stigma, and uses the long, outlandish history of sex to dissect present-day practices and taboos.Feltman’s mischievous humor dismantles fear and brings scientific literacy to a subject surrounded by misinformation, and indeed, as it gravitates toward the strange, Been There, Done That delivers some sorely needed sex ed. Explorations into age-old questions and bizarre trivia around birth control, aphrodisiacs, STIs, courtship rituals, and more establish that, when it comes to carnal pleasures and procreation, there’s never been a normal, and sex isn’t something to be scared of.
