5.0 out of 5 stars Thoroughly helpful, October 26, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Becoming Orgasmic: A Sexual and Personal Growth Program for Women (Paperback)
For all those women out there who think there's something wrong with them... chances are there's NOT!!!

This book is thoroughly helpful. I was almost at the point of giving up hope altogether... then I purchased this book on a whim, after reading a recommendation of it by an on-line sex therapist. Let me say I have NO regrets!! It was one of the best buys of my life.

The style is easy to understand and the tone is compassionate; but it is not patronizing, like some other self-help books can be. On the contrary, I found it to be quite educational. I have learnt a great deal about relationships and dealing with my emotional baggage, in addition to all the detailed stuff about my physiology and how to press the right buttons.

On the whole, this book has boosted my confidence in the bedroom ten-fold. To anyone who has problems achieving the big 'O', I couldn't recommend it more. Ten thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Medically Correct, July 2, 2001
This review is from: Becoming Orgasmic: A Sexual and Personal Growth Program for Women (Paperback)
What I liked best about this book, was it was not pornography in disguise. So many sex "self-help" books boarder on the inapproptiate. But not this one. The language was respectful and diagrams tasteful.

"Becoming Orgasmic" is very professionally written by doctors, with a lot of clinical research, both their own and by others. What I appriciated was that the doctors did not present a quick-fix, one size fits all solution. This book is meant to help a woman heal herself. THe book stayed respectful and lets the woman that she is not alone and that her dyfunction does not make her weird or strange.

This workbook was recommended to me by a doctor and I recommend it to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars SunnyFlorida, June 9, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Becoming Orgasmic: A Sexual and Personal Growth Program for Women (Paperback)
This book helped me immensely. I bought the book about 7 years ago. Before I read and followed this book, I thought I would be "faking it" my whole life. I doubt I would have figured out how to acheive "it" if I hadn't read this. I highly recommend it to any woman who just doesn't get it when it comes to orgasm and you feel like you're the only one! This book can truly help you.

What I appreciated most about this book was that it was NOT pornography in disguise. Most sexual 'how to' and self help books can be quite degrading, graphic, or base. Read more
