"Ugh. Terrible. I had first read "Real Sex for Real Women" which I thought was a great book. I picked up a few of the Berman sisters' other books hoping that they would be of similar quality. They weren't.
First, there were numerous errors within the book due to it being an updated edition. It would tell you to turn to X-page for more information only to find that the pages were off, sometimes by a bit, sometimes by a lot. I think that when they were making revisions for the new edition they forgot to changes the page numbers too. Small problem, but obnoxious.
Second, I felt like they spent much of the time tooting their own horns and trying to attract people to their clinic. They would frequently remind the readers the purpose of the clinic and what each of the sisters was responsible for. I was annoyed at being continually banged over the head with the information. I got it after the first time ladies -I know who you are and what you do. Move on with it already.
Lastly, and most importantly, I didn't think there was anything of worth in this book. Maybe because I had already read Berman's most recent book, which seemed to cover everything this book attempted to say, only in a better, more succinct format. In the end, I felt that I slogged through several hundred pages for nothing."
"Nevermind the somewhat lame title, this book is amazing. I spotted it on the library shelf and decided to check it out.
The most striking things I read in this book have to do with the gross inequality of scientific research dedicated to male and female sexual function and response. I read that surgically precise procedures are in place for male pelvic surgeries in order to avoid any disturbance in sexual function, but for female pelvic surgeries (like hysterectomy), the precise locations of the nerves and blood vessels that enable female sexual response are still unknown and can indeed be injured during surgery. Still unknown??? In this area, science still treats women as second class citizens! Imagine the different responses from a doctor for a male and and then a female patient who might report, "I've never had an orgasm."
Women tend to believe "it's all in my head," "I'm tired and stressed out," "I have an unhealthy body image" etc. These are all generally accepted reasons behind women's diminished libido or sexual dysfunction. Outside of this book, I don't think I've ever even heard of any of the physical sexual dysfunctions that women can experience. And that's really, really sad.
This book summed up the state of things today, for me, with this quote: "...a comment from a urologist from Harvard, when asked about whether female sexual dysfunction should be included as a subject in a medical study of impotence: 'I can't imagine anything more annoying than prompting a parade of unhappy women into urology offices for evaluation of their sexual problems. Do urologists really want to move in this direction? We must be getting desperate for things to keep us occupied professionally.'"
The book includes information on female sexual anatomy and response (I learned some new things!) and also references same-sex couples in its examples."
