ardaigle's review against another edition
4.0
I have been embarking on a process of self-discovery and came upon this book based on the suggestion of my therapist. As a person raised in a conservative household, I feel like there were definitely gaps in my education. Specifically, what I learned about sex education was from a video in 6th grade called "In God's Image." What Patricia told us, from her rocking chair with eyeshadow up to our eyebrows was that, "When a man and woman are married, and love each other, and make a baby, here is how that is done." Not exactly comprehensive information.
This book, though basic, filled in some of important information. I didn't learn much, other than that I'm not that different, or weird, compared to most women, which actually was a really important lesson for me to learn. This book spent a lot of time focusing on things I may/will face later in life, so I'll definitely keep it around as a resource and definitely suggest it to other like-minded (ie, Catholic/shamed) women who are looking for a little clarity, information, and comfort.

I saw Dr. Laura Berman speak on Oprah and I liked her ideas and approach to intimacy in marriage, so I went on a spree to read her books. Unfortunately, my first one was not a great experience. Anyone with any idea of how the female body works will not really gain anything from reading this book; I found it to be very basic and skimmed a great deal of it. I do, however, look forward to some of her other books.
