5.0 out of 5 stars Great Workbook!!!, April 22, 2003

By A Customer

This book was very helpful in overcoming my problem. You need to realize that it isn't a straight read but a workbook for you and your partner. It has WONDERFUL relaxation techniques,an anatomy chapter, a question and answer section, a dialator therapy section and specific sections on various disorders. I found it very helpful. I recommend this workbook to anyone who has a problem of this sort. I found myself overcoming this problem (that I had for 6 years) in a matter a weeks after starting the workbook. Great purchase!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars summary to a woman's guide....., July 7, 2000

By A Customer

This book works very well as a tool, i.e. a workbook with exercies that need to be preformed and reflected upon. I would have preferred more case stories; but overall this is a personal book that deals with intimate subjects. The authors do cover a wide range of topics, and attempt to give equal treatment to relationships beyond hetrosexual couples, which should be useful to some readers. I would have found it benefifcal to know in advance that this was designed as a workbook, so that proper time could have ben devoted to the book. Perhaps the title might be changed from a "guide" to a handbook or workbook. I would recommend this book, and ample time to the reader, for women who can benefit from assisatnce and advice in overcoming sexual fea and pan.
