Synopsis: A book all females should be required to read, this
small jewel is packed with insights to really turn sexual potential into
practice.
Our Review: As I
came to appreciate the wonders of masturbation quite late (and
only with Freddy's persistent urgings), I definitely needed some
coaching to truly understand exactly WHY self pleasure is so
important. I had always thought of masturbation as something only
men practiced and unfortunately the subject never came up with my
rather conservative mother or even among my friends over the
years.
Luckily, there
are several books, websites, and videos devoted to the subject, so
I had Freddy do some research and pick out a resource we could
both use to tap my hidden potential and get me over the hump, so
to speak. The book, For Yourself - The Fulfillment of Female
Sexuality, by Lonnie Barbach, Ph.D, turned out to be just the
guide we were looking for and was recommended highly by reviewers
at both Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Just a smidgeon over 200
pages, the author packs quite a bit of information into topics
such as why one should learn to masturbate, the actual physical
process, sexual expansion, menopause, and even how to raise
children to be aware and responsible about their own sexuality.
Freddy found the book very enlightening and has read it twice,
especially the section on sharing intimacy.
Though one could
easily churn through the entire text in a short evening (as I
did), you
will probably find yourself (or yourselves) returning to read
particular sections again and again, as Barbach outlines practical
solutions with great advice and depth. An indispensable tool in
one's sexual arsenal, this little nugget belongs in every woman's
desk drawer. Incidentally, the author has produced a sequel we
highly recommend as well, called For Each Other - Sharing Sexual
Intimacy. You can find a review of this work by
