Female Sexual Awareness - Barry McCarthy

Sex is an important aspect of life, and sexuality is an integral part of being a woman - but for too long the whole subject of sexuality has been shrouded in myths. Before the 1950s, women weren't regarded as sexual beings with a right to fulfilment, but since the 1960s another myth has sprung up - that all women, everywhere, are multiorgasmic, highly sexed creatures who, unless they are neurotic or disturbed, never fail to achieve satisfaction. As every woman knows the truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.;This guide to pleasure is designed to be of interest to all woman, whether they're in their 20s, 40s or approaching later life. It is also a book for couples - and with the current emphasis on monogamy, its pleasure-orientated approach emphasizes intimacy and fidelity. Topics discussed include body exploration, intimacy and commitment, women and AIDS, pleasuring, arousal problems, the orgasmic woman, foreplay, intercourse and afterplay.
