An interesting collection of essays that explain various experiences that women have with orgasm, attitudes they have with it, how it is approached, or how they feel about it.

There is a thread running through several essays that faking orgasm is often a way to avoid hurting someone else's ego that they wish they didn't have to do, but often feel compelled to. Most that talked about faking would rather their partner understood that sometimes orgasm just isn't going to happen, and that's fine. It's okay. It's still fun.

I think the repetition in the essays points to common desires that women have, that ultimately aren't addressed by society and how we treat women. This isn't new, and this collection of essays isn't the first to address those issues, but it is a solid entry into a body of work that asks that people listen.

While I agree that this book can get a little repetitive I really loved the idea behind it. I think all types of women can read this book and relate to some of the entries. There are so many people who feel very uncomfortable talking about sex and pleasure, this book could help people realize their not alone in the ways that they feel.
