3.0

The pep talk version of an introduction to "female orgasm". As an introduction to said topic it's pretty solid, though I personally didn't gain much from reading this. It is extremely repetitive, which is only made bearable by the chattiness of the pep talk tone. Would recommend to sexually inhibited and inexperienced women who appreciates that kind of chatty buzzfeed tone in their non-fiction - if you're the kind of person who feels patronized or annoyed by that writing style you'll likely hate this, and if you know the basics on the topic you'll probably not learn a lot.

Also this is predictably cisnormative and binary in it's references to gender. No one is surprised by this, but I thought I'd mention it anyway in case some poor soul had any level of hope.

This ended up being a much more negative review than I intended. For what it is it's pretty good, I'm just not an ideal reader for it. I liked how she balanced the science and the anecdotal... evidence? stuff? Stuff. I can also appreciate her enthusiasm for all the pussies of the world. If you're gonna let anyone near your fucking magical cunt, make sure they're as excited - and honored - about it as Jenny Block would be.
