5.0 out of 5 stars Written by a certified sex therapist, February 7, 2004

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Virgin S-E-X (Paperback)

Written by certified sex therapist Darcy Luadzers, Virgin Sex is an informed and informative guide written especially for women and which deals honestly and intelligently with the hard questions of sex. Virgin Sex directly addresses issues that particularly concern young virgins, such as "how will I know when I am ready/not ready?", as well as how to make one's first experience a memory to cherish. Virgin Sex is also filled from cover to cover with solid advice appropriate for women of all ages including how to recognize men who are only interested in sex -- not a relationship; how to prevent and avoid rape; how to make sex pleasurable, not painful; and more. Very highly recommended for Human Sexuality reading lists and library collections.

3.0 out of 5 stars This Book Is Hilarious, March 1, 2006

By

This review is from: Virgin S-E-X (Paperback)

And bears about as much resemblance to reality as a driver's manual does to actual driving. I'm sorry, I know it was written with serious intent, but I came across it in a library and HAD to skim through it, as you would, too, admit it, and within minutes I was laughing so hard I had to get up and go outside. (Once I start giggling I'm hopeless.) Someone I used to date works at the same library and asked me what was so funny and I told him and he said, "Yeah, we're always finding that book hidden in corners where people take it and sneak off to read." (Hey, at least I read it in the open.) Soooo, if it helps even a single person (although how it could is past me, it reads like stereo assembly instructions, and I think the author is out of touch) then great, but in my opinion it seemed pretty silly.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is only for the adolescent who has no one to care about them, June 21, 2007

This review is from: Virgin S-E-X (Paperback)

If you want your daughter to view sex as merely a recreational activity that is best enjoyed with a pleasant-mannered playmate who is amenable to her self-study technique tips, and you buy the author's scenario of a scar-less sex playground--this is the book for her! However, if you want your daughter to see sex as something that is profoundly intimate with a profound purpose, this is NOT the book for her.

This book assumes that once sexual development begins, a girl is careening down an inevitable path toward sex. The irony here is that, despite such helplessness and inevitability, the book is chock full of coaching to enable your daughter to select playmates that will please her yet not hurt her--quite a feat!!

If you have any regular time to spend with your daughter, I would forego reading this book. Your time will be much better spent inspiring her to spend time developing her interests and values and socializing with a wide variety of friends of both sexes in a properly supervised atmosphere. In this scenario, while your daughter is avoiding a minefield, she is also noticing which young men are wasting their time indulging their senses and which young men are diligently preparing to be responsible adults through education, work and self-control, all nice things in a husband!

If you want to begin de-bunking the far too rampant nonsense in this book, I suggest reading Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student
