My Thoughts
This book has a lot of facts in it, backed up by research done at many different establishments about sex. It also includes some situations that Dr. Gloria saw with her work as a sex therapist and how sometimes changing the way you look at things can help change your sex life and your relationships (with yourself and others) for the better. For instance, one woman couldn’t figure out why her husband no longer wanted to have sex with her and that it was always done when she initiated it – one or two times a week down from seven to ten times. The first therapist she went to suggested that she was a sex addict and had worn her husband out. Visiting Dr. Gloria helped her realize that her husband was feeling down because he had lost his job and that is what led to the decrease in sex drive. The wife was able to help the husband feel better about himself. (And so it turned out that the problem was not that she was a sex addict after all!)
As volume 1 is titled “sex and the self” it is no surprise that the majority of this book is about masturbation and orgasms. The one thing that is mentioned the most in this book is that no one is “normal” when it comes to these things and it is up to you to find the right way for you.
The book ends with a few exercises to help familiarize yourself with well, yourself by loving yourself in the tub, loving yourself in bed and tips to give yourself an orgasm. (If you know what works it is easier to get your partner to figure it out too!)
