5.0 out of 5 stars "Exploring Your Sexual Self", November 29, 2001

By

This review is from: Exploring Your Sexual Self (Guided Journals) (Hardcover)

If you're like me and haven't read a non-fiction book about sex since college, then you will love "Exploring Your Sexual Self" by Joan Mazza. On the other hand, if you have been reading other books about sex, I know you will find this guided journal superior in its approach to human sexuality. Mazza allows the reader to explore, without shame or confusion, a wide range of topics from fantasies and orientation to solitary sex and romance. Two of my favorite chapters are "Firsts" and "Lovemaps." The prompts or questions at the end of each chapter are refreshing and stimulating (no pun intended) and even if you choose not to journal a response for every question, all of them help you to acknowledge and formulate a greater self-awareness and healing about many sexual issues. In fact, this book is about more than just discovering yourself sexually -- it is ultimately about the understanding and integration of one of life's most powerful and natural forces into our whole selves as conscious and sensitive human beings. And as with Mazza's other published books and articles on various subjects, she writes with heart, humor and a compassionate eye.

I actually returned this item. While the prompts were thought provoking, it was not quite what I expected. The pages were not lined, which makes it hard to write. Also, as a journal, the binding is not writer friendly either. I prefer spiral bound journals, just for ease of writing.
