I really liked how the author made all of the knowledge funny, easy to read and complete. The style of writing and the amusing metaphors made it easy to focus on the text and understand the point made. Helpful in discovering and depthening my understanding of my own sexuality. However I felt quite concerned while reading about the author's radical acceptance for almost everything around sex and the constantly reapeted sentence: 'You are normal, you are healthy'. I am not quite sure that completely everything consensual and without unwanted pain, as Emily suggested, is healthy in sex. I can see, why it appeared so many time in the book, as I observe quite a lot of fear and stigma around women's sexuality, but I do not agree that it is so easy to tell everyone they are normal. Therefore, I was not completly satisfied with the read, however I found it really useful and entertaining at once

This review is my compromise between being too shy to post on goodreads and wanting every woman to read this book
