Awakening Aphrodite, June 10, 2002
This review is from: 227 Ways to Unleash the Sex Goddess Within (Hardcover)
Because I am a goddess
I will come to your heaven
and lie on your cloud ...
Let my hovel be our heaven,
let my bed be our cloud,
On which we are united in
perfect, heavenly bliss.
-Poetry from ancient Egypt, pg. 21
First, let me say, this is the sexiest book I've ever read. I found it while doing a search and it looked rather entertaining. Even the cover is just HOT.
The focus in this book is how to discover your own sexual nature. It is definitely for women who want to expand their comfort zone and who are interested in feeling sexy, desirable and confident in sexual situations.
Olivia's goddess-like writing style is quite seductive all on its own. While she takes the entire "goddess" idea much more seriously than I do, it is true that there is a person that lives in each woman that is dying to break free and express her true nature. I believe she can only be awakened when you realize she exists. When you find out she does exist, you have to coax her out slowly. By reading books about sex and relationships, you can get her more interested in reaching her full potential.
"Every woman has an Inner Sex Goddess. She lives in your heart, your body, and your senses... Your Inner Sex Goddess is the one who bought this book and who tingles with anticipation at the thought of becoming, at last, her most gloriously seductive self." pg. 2
Basically, this book is about learning to be comfortable with being sexy. It is about learning to appreciate your body and the beauty of life around you. Through Olivia's thoughts, you come to see how in fact, women have woven romance, love and sex into a magical art form.
