Sexuality | Women's Health | Sale Books

Women today are more knowledgeable about sex than ever before - but many still struggle with sexual myths, self-doubt, and "embarrassing" questions. This trusted book has already helped many thousands of women understand how their bodies work and take charge of their sexuality. The authors are experienced therapists who present solid, science-based information on the topics women are talking about and those that aren't discussed enough - from how to have more satisfying sex to questions about hormones, anatomy, relationships, body image, and trauma. Empowering exercises foster self-discovery and self-confidence. Fully updated, and with a greater focus on positive psychology and resilience, the second edition features expanded discussions of sexual response, male sexuality, sexually transmitted infections, and lesbian sexuality.
