Women's Anatomy of Arousal: Secret Maps to Buried Pleasure Paperback – Picture Book, January 4, 2010
Purchase options and add-ons
"The most comprehensive, user-friendly, practical and uplifting book on women's sexuality I've ever read. It's the gold standard!" -Dr. Christiane Northrup.
Women have a largely unknown network of structures responsible for arousal and orgasm that their owners and even most medical professionals don't know about. We're not just talking about Ye Olde G-Spot here. Women have an entire erectile network that, if properly stimulated, can elevate their erotic experience from "Oh!" to "Oh! Oh! Oh!"
Join celebrated sexuality teacher Sheri Winston as she integrates ancient wisdom, lost knowledge and modern sexuality information in a sexy, fun, empowering guidebook that illuminates every woman's secret paths to fabulous, orgasmically abundant sex. Whether you're a woman or a man who loves women, this book is for you!
There's great information here, but that's not why Winston wrote the book. She wrote it to transform people's lives and support them to reclaim their erotic birthright. And what she shares works! When people apply her information and techniques, the result is often a whole new level of sexual pleasure. Many women experience their first ejaculations and/or become multi- or mega-orgasmic. Men learn how to make their female partner REALLY happy!
Women's Anatomy of Arousal includes discussions of anatomy and energetics, female ejaculation and expanded orgasm, and much more. It's packed with sidebars providing great tips to women and their lovers. There's even a short chapter for guys ("The Easy Girl's Guide to Making It Easy for Guys") summarizing the main points of the book!
Winston's background includes over twenty years as a nurse-midwife, gynecology practitioner and student of the ancient erotic traditions. Over the years, she has developed her own unique approach to sexuality education: Wholistic Sexuality. Now her teachings are available in this fun, fascinating, immensely readable book that can transform your sex life for the better.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2025Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseIf you’re just curious about the female body or wanting to improve your performance, this is a great book for you. There is a lot of information, much of which puts new perspectives on the women’s body. Very much worth the price. I would recommend this for both men and women if you’re looking for ways to please your partner. This book is easy to read as well, with a few visual aids and some history lessons. Let’s just say my partner is happy.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2017Originally purchased and read bits and pieces. Chose what felt relevant where I was at that time. Shared a lot of it with my hubby. All this took place during a time of transition (late 40's and 20+ years of marriage). Realizing while being a very sexual person, I had so much to learn about my body. I've used this book over many years and it's been integral to the progression of my self knowledge as well as the evolution of our sex life and orgasm potential. Apologies for over-sharing..... Every woman should read this book as well as those who wish to learn how to fully participate in the pleasure of a woman. We've given this book as a gift a few times and recommended to friends. You can be sure to learn detailed anatomy and techniques for achieving or enhancing orgasm. Glad to see it readily available as it was harder to get years ago. And, while I love my Kindle reading, this is a very nice printed book to have in hand, to review as a couple. I'd highly consider the printed version. You won't regret the purchase!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2013The good news about this book is that the core information about female anatomy and arousal is excellent. So the core book content delivers on the title. Probably every sexually active person could benefit from reading this book.
The "bad" news is that the core information is only 25% of the book. The first 30% of the book is filled with light content to help female readers to feel comfortable with exploring their sexuality, that it's ok to feel tentative about it, not to worry, don't fear, etc. etc. To say it kindly, I guess that 30% of the book is not aimed at anyone who has any sexual confidence in themselves at all.
The next 25% of the book (25%-55% range) is where the meat of the book is. Well done, in my opinion. The best explanations I've ever read.
Then back to more light stuff for the rest of the book -- meditations, building personal sex altars, spiritual sex practice exercises, and so on. Again, I couldn't really see the usefulness or functionality of this part of the book. Surely this material was written for an audience that I'm not part of. On a positive note, this part of the book described the idea of training your mind to develop multiple paths to orgasm, so you don't always have to travel the same reliable path to orgasm, and can play with, and enjoy some variety in the roads that you can use to get to your destination.
All in all, a book worth reading. I gave it 4 stars because of the excellent core information. But if it wasn't for that good core, I'd have given the book a 2 star rating or less.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2015Format: PaperbackVerified PurchaseExcellent description of the female erectile structures, how they function during arousal, and a hands on guide for self discovery of these structures. This book has the best description of urethral sponge and its function that I have read to date. Winston removes some of the mystery and all of the hype from female ejaculation, taking it out of arena of a pornographic spectacle, and through the anatomical and functional description of urethral sponge, places it squarely in the realm of a real phenomenon that can be learned and worthy of a woman's or couple's pursuit. Winston also introduced what for me was a new structure, the perineal sponge, a small area of erectile tissue embedded in the posterior vaginal wall. Also of value for me was a good description of the pelvic musculature and particularly the round ligament (really a muscle) that elevates the uterus during arousal.
A good bit of the book is devoted to self discovery. Winston provides exercises for increasing awareness of the body, mind, and spirit in what she call "Wholistic Sexuality." She also touches on the sacred nature of sex, introducing energy flows, ying/yang, the chakras, and tantra. In doing so though, she manages to maintain an atmosphere of reality. You don't get overwhelmed by moon beams. It is a nice mixture of ancient wisdoms and modern science.
While the book is predominantly written for women, I would say that it has just as much value for men as well. She includes many side bars called "Hot Tips For Guys" and there is a short review chapter devoted to men. The book is also illustrated with black and white reproductions of classic erotic paintings.
While I enjoyed awareness chapters, for me, the real value in this book was the detailed descriptions of anatomical structures of female arousal. All in all an excellent resource.
