This Is How You Vagina: All About Your Vajayjay and Why You Probably Shouldn't Call It That by Nicole E. Williams
4.0
Incredibly informative not only on the vagina, but also the socio-sexual landscape in general. Dr. Williams gives a comprehensive look at the female genitalia and at the same time elucidates on how the vagina (and female sexuality in general) are viewed by society and the medical establishment. Let’s just say it’s not great.
I was heartbroken to discover that the medical community still has a very low opinion of female sexuality and the inherent variety of sexual function and enjoyment. So many studies cited in the work and frankly inadequate (as the author laments) when dealing with what women go through when it comes to their sex organs. Most of these studies are with very small cross sections of women and almost entirely out of date, or too recent to have gained traction.
Most upsetting were the chapters in which vaginalism (yes, she made that word up) is painted as pervasive and damaging even to this day. We have so much left to learn and discover about our bodies and their frankly miraculous sexual properties. Thank you for your insight, Nicole.
Thank you to the publisher and Kate Rock Book Tours for my free copy. These opinions are my own.
