My personal take on the book?

Wow. This is not a book you can simply skin through. It’s chocked full of practical advice on not only how to know your lover better, but your own body as well. Whether you are lesbian, bisexual, queer, or simply curious, there will be much for you to explore in the pages of this book. A warning to the mildly curious, this could be just what you need to push you over the edge *wink*

This is much more than a sex guide on general female anatomy. There are whole sections of fetishes, orgasm, safety, masturbation, healthy boundaries, breast play, oral sex, bdsm, and much more. Even as a writer of erotica I learned a great many things about women loving women intimacy and sex that I never knew before.

This book hold nothing back, even down to code in hard core to mild bdsm culture. Everything talked about here will not fit all women’s tastes, but read with an open mind, new adventures are just waiting to begin. I highly recommend this book for any women who wants more from her own sex life, and a deeper connection with her sexual partners.
