summary to a woman's guide.....
This book works very well as a tool, i.e. a workbook with exercies that need to be preformed and reflected upon. I would have preferred more case stories; but overall this is a personal book that deals with intimatesubjects. The authors do cover a wide range of topics, and attempt to giveequal treatment to relationships beyond hetrosexual couples, which shouldbe useful to some readers. I would have found it benefifcal to know inadvance that this was designed as a workbook, so that proper time couldhave ben devoted to the book. Perhaps the title might be changed from a"guide" to a handbook or workbook. I would recommend this book,and ample time to the reader, for women who can benefit from assisatnce andadvice in overcoming sexual fea and pan. ... Read more
