At one point she references Blast From The Past...so obviously it's a good book.

Wow! So very eye opening and informative, not only from a scientific perspective, but psychological, social, and historical. Every woman - not just those of us who grew up in a religiously repressive and damaging environment - but every woman should read this book. Living in a sex negative culture, women have been lied to about their bodies. Historically, women have been objects of sexual desire, but not subjects of sexual pleasure, and shame and disgust over our bodies and sexual appetites have been ingrained in us since puberty. Time to break it down, open it up, and heal. And have really great orgasms!
Next day update: Okay, there were times the author drove me nuts. She used terms like "for realsie reals" and "feels" and other terms that are irritating, but on the whole, the message is great. And yes, there were a plethora of metaphors, but it's only so you can find the one that works for you. I look forward to reading this again.
