So many women are dissatisfied with their sexual relationships — even all these years after the “sexual revolution” — but what is it that women really want? In The Sex You Want, authors Lisa and Marcia Douglass answer this age-old question and much more, touching on subjects that include: how women’s sexuality is influenced by societal forces; how women can fall into unhealthy sexual patterns; and how the way we talk about or censor discussions on sex affects our everyday practices, and offer ways to reverse the damaging consequences. With a detailed description of the female anatomy and a section on how to achieve the utmost in orgasmic pleasure, The Sex You Want will help women take control of their sexuality in ways that will not only change how they relate to their bodies, but how they live in the world. This new paperback version is illustrated and comes with a revised introduction. “A smart, new sex guide . . . A step toward helping women own and appreciate their bodies.” — Glamour
