Psychotherapist, Author, Lecturer, Educator
The foremost guide for relevant advice on taking care of your
sexual self- for men AND women. Sex Matters for Women authors
Sallie Foley, MSW, Sally Kope, MSW, and Dennis Sugrue, PhD,
explain: "There is no lack of information about sex, but there is a
lack of relevant information. Women's magazines regularly offer
lists on how to find time for sex, how to be pleasing, how to
heighten arousal, but they rarely ground the advice in the imperfect
contexts in which most women find themselves." These authors
argue that up-to-date scientific information must be provided with
tools to help women expunge sexual myths, recognize inhibiting
gender roles, manage distorted body image, and cope with their
particular health status.
Good sex doesn't come naturally. Many women enter sexual
relationships with the expectation that it will come easily to two
people who love and desire each other. The authors explain,
however, that "Sustaining a satisfying sexual relationship,
especially one that fosters mutual growth, requires honest
communication, knowledge and exploration, experimentation and
practice, generosity, understanding, and even a healthy sense of
humor."
Sex Matters for Women provides detailed, readable, respectful
information and guidance on women's sexuality. As Pepper
Schwartz, PhD, says about Sex Matters, "This is the thinking
woman's guide to sexual health."
