This book was recommended by Dr. Jennifer Finlayson Fife, a licensed therapist who specializes in working with LDS couples on sexuality and relationship issues. I took an online course from her this year, and have listened to multiple podcasts and interviews that are so impressive! She's a great thinker, a faithful member of the church, and a brilliant therapist. In short, I respect her opinion, and didn't hesitate to order this book.
And it did not disappoint! Although the author is clearly "out there," she does have some liberating and wonderful ideas about female sexual pleasure. She recommends a unique practice of "orgasmic meditation" and this book specifies how to do it. Maybe I should explain what I mean by "out there." Her recommendation is to practice OM daily. And she isn't too choosy about who her partner should be. That's what I mean by "out there." Perhaps, since we haven't attempted to practice this daily, I shouldn't dismiss the idea. But I DO dismiss the idea of casual intimate partners.
The gift of this reading, though, was for me to learn how to really enjoy physical intimacy, even when not feeling particularly aroused. This is a method for helping to create arousal and pleasure, without the need for an orgasm, per se. This has been a wonderful addition to our marriage and has created a deeper intimacy.
