Sex Relationships Books

Sometimes you pick a book simply because of the title or because you have heard good things about the author. I picked this book for both reasons and have been impressed. The book really addresses all that the title suggests. A short, but great read.

C.J. Mahaney's book contains a simple but effective encouragement about romance within marriage. What is deeply appreciative about this small book is that it contains a simple message that acknowledges our sexuality within the marriage and how God designed it to be joyously pursued, and that it is to be a source of pleasure and true intimacy with one's wife. The writer also seeks to provide several ideas to inspire men to develop romance in their marriages. The book speaks of this profound truth that we often forget that is to love and know one's wife is deeply connected to the love, and joy of knowing God. For the Christian husband one should have one without the other.

The book is hard to read because it is so small! There is some good stuff in the book, but not worth buying it for the content. It seemed like a lot of generic stuff that most couples already know.

All of the things the other reviewers say about this book are true. It's worth having and gives a Biblically-based view of what marriage is supposed to be about. Mahaney goes to the Song of Solomon to show that God designed sex to be enjoyed--delighted in--within the context of marriage and give several suggestions as to how a man can help to keep that spark in the marriage and the bedroom.

However, I was a bit disappointed for a couple of reasons. First, it was rather short (check out the product details, not only the number of pages, but also the book's dimensions--it's kind of dinky). The main disappointment, though, was that I had already heard most of this before--from the author himself. I bought the book after hearing Mahaney's talk at a conference entitled "Sex and the Supremacy of Christ." I liked his talk and wanted to hear some more from him, so I ordered this book, but he had obviously used this book as the main source of material for the conference, and much of what was in the book was also in his talk.

So, as I said, the book is good and it's worth having. However, for a bit more money one might want to consider going to [...] and ordering the excellent cd set entitled "Sex and the Supremacy of Christ", which has eight cd's, one of which includes much of the material found in this book.

I felt a deep sense of deja vu as I read Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God. It took me only a few pages to realize that this book, in a condensed form, forms the basis for a chapter in Sex and the Supremacy of Christ (edited by John Piper and Justin Taylor). I had enjoyed that particular chapter of Sex and the Supremacy of Christ and felt certain I would likewise enjoy this lengthened version.

Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God is based loosely on the Song of Solomon. C.J. Mahaney shares my understanding of this book of the Bible stating simply, "It's about sex" (page 9). While many have attempted to allegorize Solomon's song, few have succeeded with any degree of credibility. "That's right gentlemen." says Mahaney, "Solomon's Song of Songs is an entire book of the Bible devoted to the promotion of sexual intimacy within the covenant of marriage. It's an eight-chapter feast of unbridled, uninhibited, joyous immersion in verbal and physical expressions of passion between a man and a woman" (page 10). Amen. So as the reader prepares to read this book, he must prepare to celebrate God's gift of sex. The author says, "The purpose of the book you hold in your hands is to lead us back into God's ideal of joyful, unashamed, indulgent, loving sexuality in the context of marriage" (pages 14-15). This book is directed primarily to men, largely because it is the husband's role (not an author's) to lead his wife into a fuller understanding of what Scripture teaches about sexuality. Mahaney will provide the foundation men can build upon to discover with his wife how sex and romance can be done to the glory of God.

Following an introductory chapter Mahaney uncovers the divine purpose for marriage. This, he teaches, is to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church. He goes on in the next chapter to provide a piece of wisdom he considers the most important in the entire book: "In order for romance to deepen, you must touch the heart and mind of your wife before you touch her body" (page 28).

Several chapters follow in which Mahaney offers specific ways of touching a wife's heart and mind in order to build the type of relationship God desires for a marriage. Turning to the actual act of consumation, he follows Solomon's lead, providing little in the way of specific details that might read like a to-do list. Instead he invites us to study and understand the Song of Solomon to understand what Solomon meant when he wrote, "Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its spices flow. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits" (4:16).

The book concludes with a chapter written by Carolyn Mahaney (C.J.'s wife) addressed to women. It is the fifth chapter ("The Pleasure of Purity") of her book Feminine Appeal: Seven Virtues of a Godly Wife and Mother.

With lots of humor (much of it self-deprecating), but also compassion and sensitivity, Mahaney sets forth some principles that will bear much fruit in many marriages. He is honest about his book. "Please don't make the mistake of thinking that simply by reading this book you are being changed. I wish it were that easy. But change does not take place until we apply what we are learning in very specific ways, at very specific times, and always in dependence on God's grace to make our efforst effective" (page 35). This book is just the beginning. Far from a "10 Surefire Ways to Make Your Woman Melt" kind of book, Sex, Romance, and the Glory of God will lead the husband to see his wife as a remarkable God-given treasure. It will help the husband learn to see his wife in color while everyone else appears in mere black and white.

While it may seem strange, this book refreshed my joy in being a Christian. I was amazed at the wisdom of God who saw fit to give us an entire book of the Bible dedicated to teaching us how to love our spouses in a way that honors Him. Truly His Word is sufficient! Truly it is relevant! I was thankful that He has provided teachers to explain the Word to us. And I was renewed in my gratefulness towards Him for providing me the priceless treasure that is my wife.

So men, buy this book. I cannot imagine a husband who would gain nothing from it. Women, buy a copy and slip it into your husband's hand with a suggestive wink. He'll get the idea. Read it, enjoy it, and most of all, put it into practice. Learn how sex and romance can bring glory to the One who created them for our enjoyment.

This book was a good information book to read. It did not offer the type of insights that I Was looking for when I bought this book.

I've read a couple of books on boys and the best by far is Speaking of Boys: Answers to the Most-Asked Questions About Raising Sons. It's set up in a question and answer style and it answers questions like:

* why are brothers competitive?
* does my son really mean to be that mean to his sister?
* why is my son preening like this and will it ever end?
* what to do as a divorced mom breaking up with someone
* what do do when your son starts acting abusive or violent
* how to react to your son (or his friend) lying

But I found it most useful in understanding boys' humor. I don't find most "boy jokes" very funny and I struggle on how to respond and I struggle with understanding why they are funny - from farts to knock-knock jokes. (I'd like to be in on the joke! It looks like fun.) Michael Thomson did a really good job of explaining how boys use humor to gain status with their friends and in their social groups and he even gave some good advise to people like me who just don't get it.

I learned a lot from this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is occasionally baffled by boys - small or big ones.

After another unpleasant meeting with my 9 year-old's teacher, my husband and I began to feel thoroughly discouraged and worried. I decided to do some research, came across this book, and nearly wept with relief.

Our current school system is dominated by women who fail to understand the psychology of boys. Prior to having sons, I believed that boys were rambunctious and agressive due to socialization. Like most parents, I learned otherwise; boys are different - and this does not make them bad. I am tired of teachers saying the word "boys" while rolling their eyes, as if being a boy implies the existence of some inherent defect. It's insulting, unfair, and serves to seriously damage our sons' chances of doing well academically. Boys are in an educational crisis - and it's a manufactured one.

If you have a son who kicks over the neighbour's snowman, climbs on the roof of the school, falls off his chair in class, gets into fights on the playground, annoys his teachers, blurts things out, and is generally considered a "problem", chances are, he's absolutely normal. Our intolerance to the energy of boys has led to millions of male children being medicated. It's an outrage, and parents need to confront the school systems and their attempts to feminize the male population. They can't run, they can't jump, they can't be competitive. They're supposed to act like girls, all quiet and co-operative, and when they don't - out with the ritalin.

Here's something I learned: Our son has never been allowed a toy gun, and yet he draws them constantly, tries to find books on guns in the library, chews his toast into the shape of a pistol, etc. His teacher was concerned, and called us in for a meeting about it.
This is a child who does not play video games, watch violence on tv, and is encouraged to be kind and compassionate. But there he is, drawing pictures of gangsters with machine guns. This book explained that it's a pretty normal thing. Our son got in trouble at school and lied to us about it. Again, fairly typical.

Our son is easily distracted - why? Because of "co-operative learning" where kids' desks are all shoved together. This works for GIRLS, not boys! I requested an alternative seating arrangement.
If you're worried about your son, you must read this book. It has changed my life. By the way, I'm a highschool teacher - I look at my male students completely differently now. Boys are lovely - there was a time when we knew this. This books has made me fall inlove with my boys all over again.

I thought this book was written by a woman as I first skimmed the pages, due to the sexist, stereotyped, and biased comments about men and boys within. I then saw the title page, and the author's (male) name.

I was intrigued until upon reading further I discovered that the "author" admits to having hired a woman named Teresa Barker to put the book together because he has "the organizational skills of an average eighth grade boy."

I had already drawn my conclusions about the author's bias before learning this. The author views boys . . . AND MEN . . . as infererior to woman emotionally and intellectually. If that supports you own biases, thenthis book is a love-fest for you. If not, I don't know where to direct you on this subject . . .



pg 7. "Finally if a man has struggled inarticulately in the past to explain himself . . . "

pg 12 . . . [men] have not had enough practice dealing with the energy level and willfulness of of small children. Women have . . . "

pg 20 - "In the boy realm, arrogance is a performance art . . . girls are more likely to act in a non-threatening way."

What a wondeful book! I have 3 sons (aged 15, 11 and 4 years) and so many of the questions and answers here were relevant to things they are doing or have done and how I have felt about things. I found the advice very sensible and up to date and reassuring.

Dr. Phil recommended this book on his show, and I agree. I'm just over halfway and I can see the benefits blooming. I even has actual speeches, if you can commit to memory, will help alot.

Dr. Chirban's What's Love Got to Do With It? is a great guide to talking with your kids about sex. I know that for many parents this is a difficult issue, and in this book Dr. Chirban provides warm encouragement and practical ways to open up a continuing dialogue with your kids. While it's important to start sex ed early, it's never too late.

I particularly like that Dr. Chirban stresses the importance of seeing sex as an integral part of what it means to be a complete person. The importance of a family's values is stressed and the reader is urged to see the vital connections among sex, intimacy, and love. This point will appeal to many other readers too, I think, because parents are looking for a way to talk about sex that is open and candid but that also respects values and beliefs. I heartily recommend this book.

If you would like a great guide for talking to your children about sex, this is the book for you. Every developmental stage is outlined and specific things to discuss, avoid and activities for each are provided. It makes talking about sex with your children as natural as it should be. I read this from cover to cover and I am sure you will learn a not only how to talk about sex with your child, but how to grow closer together. Practical and easy to understand, I highly recommend this book for moms and dads.

the book was ok. it is stating the same information most women already know.i rated 3 star because it does venture out into different avenues but it is still basic.

I think this book should be called "Understanding Yourself So That You can Better Love Your Black Man". This book is more than just learning how to love your black man. It helps you to identify certain actions that may hurt or hinder your relationship. If I had read this book prior to meeting my fiance, I believe I would have saved us both some pretty heavy "conversations". If you read this book with an open mind, I'm sure you will learn alot about yourself and your man. It has help me to gain a better understanding of him and his actions, and for me understanding is the first step to acceptance.

Very good book to read. A woman can get a good glimpse at do's and dont's in relationships. Black men are special and need special attention. [A message to Black women; know your power to influence, positive change, in the lives of Black men but never abuse it. Be patient, and don't expect change over night.]

I am a white woman dating a black man. Although I do not usually read relationship advice books, I decided to purchase this book after reading some articles of Dr Ronn Elmore's. I was not disappointed. This book is filled with wonderful and practical advice to help you have healthy and fulfilling relationships. This is not a book about pleasing a man, it is very much focused on achieving a healthy balance in your relationship. The book is well-written with clear examples and suggestions for acting on the advice contained. Each piece of advice is given its own section so it's easy to refer back to the "Satisfaction Actions" that are pertinent to you. The advice will not only help you in your relationships with black men, some of it will be useful in other relationships and other areas of your life. I highly recommend this book.

I bought this book several years ago and enjoyed it then. I was in my home library and decided to revisit it because it was such a good read. As with any book it could use updating on the examples but the advice is solid and covers a broad range of topics. I think any woman, young or old, will benefit from the concepts in the book. It's not a one sized fits all type of book with regards to advice on dating a black man as there are some situations that are unique to the black male experience and black culture in general but I will say that the book can probably help you in a relationship with any man. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know better and do better in their relationship with a black man!

...wow... a book for those who have everything. For those who think there is nothing new to learn & have had a nice time in marriage & have had a few rocks to climb over, this book is for everyone. Look under every rock, follow the author down a sometimes uncomfortable path and you will have a nicely ironed out relationship. Enjoyable quotes and good flow. Enjoyed the Dick Davidson quotes.

A Christian may think they know about sex, what it entails and its spiritual signficance, but this book delivers a message that most are unaware of. Not only does the author biblically evaluate how the act of sex has such powerful spiritual impacts, but also that the "physical" alone carries deep meaning and purpose. A must read not for just any couple, but any Christian who wants to have a healthy attitude towards sex and sexuality as a whole.

If the idea of sacred sex is totally foreign to you, you need this book. I bought one based on the previous reviews (see below) and was looking to improve my overall relationship with my husband of 27 years for Christ's glory. I give my husband, a bible teacher, credit for teaching me on many levels how our marriage is a priceless picture of Jesus and His bride. Regarding this book, the humor was a distraction and undermined an otherwise holy message. Quoting W.C. Fields, Marilyn Monroe, Billy Crystal and the like seemed contrary to the reverence the title suggests. The author was *not* crude or vulgar. I just recommend you read the excerpts Amazon offers on this book before purchasing. If the humor you see there works for you, I came away appreciating: 1) Mrs. Gardner's brief contributions and 2) the author's comment of how desecrated sex has become. You might try Sacred Marriage.

We recently used Sacred Sex in a human sexuality class in graduate school. Fantastic choice! The overall class consensus was that not only was this book extremely helpful for us individually as we prepare to become professional counselors and wrestle with our own "theology of sex," but it will also be an invaluable resource for those we minister to in the future. This is not a book on "sexual technique" (there is an over abundance of those). Instead, Sacred Sex leads the reader on a unique yet vital journey into "Why God created sex in the first place" and helps them understand (in very practical ways) how to apply those discoveries to their own lives and marriages. We also greatly enjoyed the author's sense of humor. As they say, Sacred Sex is "A Must Read!"

Dr. Gardner quotes the great C.S. Lewis as saying, "Nothing is more needed on the whole subject of sex than a good dose of belly laughter." I couldn't agree more. And Gardner provides that without EVER being disrespectful, crude, vulgar, or offensive. It seems to me that the goal of Sacred Sex is to help couples experience the total JOY that God, the Creator or sex, intended for his married children. This book helps couples realize that sex is not primarily about pleasure or procreation, which is the focus of most books on sex. Rather, it is about "oneness;" and true oneness leads to deep and abiding joy.

Gardner also cites the renowned Dr. Howard Hendricks as saying, "We should not be embarrassed to discuss what God was not embarrassed to create." This book will help Believers get over their embarrassment of s-e-x as it brings a healthy amount of humor to a very sacred subject and provides excellent tools for couples to discuss this very sacred act. Readers will greatly benefit from the author's challenge to approach every aspect of their sex lives with the question, "Will this make us more 'one,' or will this drive us apart?"

Sacred Sex is a great balance of Scriptural truth, challenge to change, practical wisdom, reverence for the "Marriage Bed," and God-honoring fun! Couples should buy it, read it together, and Celebrate Oneness in Marriage the way God intended!

I've read many other books on this subject and no longer have any of them. I read this book and couldn't put it down. I read it a second time. It is my bible. I did all the steps Kathryn Alice has laid out. I am a totally different person and know my soulmate is on the way. This book has totally changed my life.

I bought Kathryn's book about 6 months ago. I dated two people since then. Neither relationship worked out but I must admit I have a new attitude. Rather than getting discouraged, I stay focused on knowing my soul mate is on the way. Her CD's are also very helpful. I love that she says we will be "thrown together no matter what". That no one is left out of love. And when ever you feel doubtful "release that silly notion". She offers many other tools for attracting love. I look forward to updating this review once my soul mate and I are "thrown together in love..."

I was very intrigued when I read the free preview but I did not expect to get results right away. In a matter of two days after I did some releasing of a certain person, this same person called me two days later out of the clear blue!! But back to the review, this book has really taken me deep within myself to see what issues that I am still holding onto that I am not aware of, which there was a few. I feel like I now am making some serious progress since I have just finished this book. I am feeling a certain feeling that she stated you should feel after you do certain exercises.


Ever since I have picked up this book, I have not been able to put it down and now that I am done reading it..I would highly recommend it to everyone that wants to be with their soulmate! I now firmly believe that my soulmate is on the way and that anything is possible if you just believe. Plus, the main thing you have to be willing to do that she takes you step by step is, releasing your inner beliefs/emotions etc. You will not be disappointed after you have finished reading this book, I'M NOT!

Hi there!!!

I just loved ( and still love) reading Kathryn's book " LOve will find you". This book has literally transformed my life. In addition to gaining a way more positive out look on love and attracting my soul mate by reading all the uplifting love stories, by using and applying some tools she describes in the book I even started to attract guys who are closer to my soul mate image.I also recommended this book to all of my friend seeking a soul mate and they all start to have similar experiences like me. I am convinced more than ever that my soul mate is out there and that we both walk towards each other. I highly recommend this book. THanks Kathryn!! :-)


Love and blessings, Antje

Honestly, the title says it all. Dating is, obviously, the opposite of fun but the book reminds you that it can be very, very funny, especially when viewed through the bluntly honest eyes of the book's authors. This is a great read for anyone looking for witty commentary or sage advice on navigating the ins and outs of modern dating... and at the very least it'll make you giggle.

Dating is, by nature, kind of horrible. The authors recognize that and have written accordingly, producing a one of a kind book on dating that everyone can identify with.

At turns hilarious, insightful and blunt, "Dating Makes You Want to Die" is a book that people in any stage of a relationship should read. Based more in common sense and hard-won wisdom than boring research, it reads like one of the most interesting 3am bar conversations about dating you've ever had. Even if you're past the dating stage of life, are happily committed or even married, this book will become therapy for your traumatized soul. A married man myself, I couldn't help but crack up after recognizing the former me in chapter after chapter.

Robinson and Holloway have really tapped into the zeitgeist with this one. It's the perfect dating book for the post-dating world, and I guarantee you won't find a more fun recent non-fiction book out there. It may not help you snag the perfect life mate, but at least you'll have someone to commiserate with.

I love this cookbook. The recipes are great, the photographs are great and amazon has the best price hands down. It is my standard wedding gift.

This is really a GREAT cookbook! Terrific recipes, extremely creative pictures, fantastic "stories" to co-incide with the recipes. I've given this book as a gift for multiple bridal shower gifts - accompanied by a gift certificate for Victoria's Secret. And, most recently I bought it as a wedding gift to accompany salt and peppermills off of the couple's registry and wrote a fun note - reminding them to always keep their "marriage spicy!" This book is tastefully erotic (no pun intended!)

The book itself is great, but my cover is all dirty and scratched up, which is disappointing.

I have been giving this book for engagements, anniversaries, or any excuse I can think of since it came out in 1997. The photography is beautiful. The recipes work on multiple levels, whether introducing the reader to a completely new ingredient or taking a new approach to a familiar ingredient, & are rarely intimidating. Thus, preparation becomes anticipation, also an aphrodisiac, instead of trepidation. The only complaint I ever heard from a recipient of this book was from my cousin, who prepared a complete aphrodisiac meal for her husband of 1 year using this book: "It must have been too strong because he skipped foreplay and intercourse, and went straight for the post-coital nap!"

I gave this book to my husband for Valentine's day and he loved it! Very sexy, well put together for the romantic cooks of the world!

I chose this book due to a rave review in a mommy blog I read and the five star reviews here on Amazon, and had high hopes for some "creative" ways to improve our monogamous, post-baby sex life. I am, apparently, the only disappointed reader so far.

In the introduction, Kimberly (I can't seem to call her Mrs. Ford after having read so much about her personal life) uses the word F**K more times than I have seen in print, ever. There is a chapter on vibrators, and the clear opinion that EVERYONE needs one, or rather MANY, on hand for all intimate moments. Having used one, I can say with experience, "Yes, they have a place." But so does a husband who takes the time to learn just what to do, and does it.

Another chapter discusses pornography as a way of spicing up your marriage. I am sad to say I know more than a few wives whose husbands are addicted to pornography and it has damaged their marriage, and their intimacy, irreparably. Kimberly is not advocating pornography as an addiction, but I doubt these men intended it that way at the beginning. I think it would take a strong man to only view with his wife, and therein lies the problem.

A couple of useful chapters, if you know little about your own body, are the ones on "self exploration" and the one on masturbation. The chapter on vasectomies (Snip) and abortion (Snap) were mostly well done. But the chapters on bikini waxing as a way to "improve sensation" and the one on "pleasure parties" and her experience with a professional lap dancer were more than a little strange.

I appreciate her honesty, and her sense of humor. But, I guess I was looking for something different. I personally am not comfortable with using pornography (I have watched in the past, and it isn't my thing.) I have no desire to learn to lap or pole dance, and I don't have girl friends with whom I am comfortable practicing, and I don't find a drawer of various vibrators necessary, personally.

So, if you are looking for fun stories about married "mommy sex", this may be for you. If you are looking for practical advice on how to improve sex and intimacy with your husband, keep looking.

Kimberly Chisholm has written a funny and sensitive book about womanhood. I laughed out loud and even shed a few tears. What a fun group of women! This book encourages us to save some time for ourselves (and to have sex), in an honest and often extremely personal way. Thank you, Kimberly.

Anyone who has ever had to balance the wants and needs of toddlers while still maintaining a healthy monogramous relationship will appreciate this book. And any mother of a daughter in the midst of this should send it as a gift right now!
I am a sixty something mother of two young mothers. I know from my own experience that they need a good laugh from time to time and this is it. In addition to the laughter it is full of excellent advice about how to manage young children and also keep the flame burning.

In "Hump" Kimberly Ford has a given us readers a truly winning book: smart, funny, sexy, eminently readable--and downright practical. Reading her extraordinary prose is like sitting down with your very smart, very cool, very knowledgeable best friend and getting some really excellent advice about sex, parenting, and being a better partner. Ford's book is intimate and worldly, and absolutely refreshing in its frank approach to the subject matter and its point of view. Finally, we have a parenting book about making parents lives better, and one that is as well-written and engaging as a good short story. I can't wait to see what she does next.

Sex in a post-children world can be infrequent, stressful, and unfamiliar. It can also be energizing, stress relieving, and a source of marital harmony. In Hump, Kimberly Ford tells stories that reflect the experiences of dozens of parents and a wind range of emotions. Some are laugh-out-loud funny while others are more poignant. On the whole, whether you and your spouse are enjoying sex 3 times a week, or a couple of times a year, you both will find stories here that help you to reconnect -- or at least have a good laugh.

I'm sorry the other reviewer didn't like this book. That's too bad, maybe it isn't for everyone and yes, Gena is VERY blunt and loves the word 'pussy'. If you can get over that aspect, this is a funny, quick read and is chock full of great advice. Gena advocates fun over anger, sex over brooding and a 'fake it till you make it' attitude with regards to success. All stuff that is hard to hear, but GREAT advice all the same. She advocates that women drop an attitude of holding on to anger, choose fun and if you don't believe you are TOTALLY fab, you can use 'tricks' to promote yourself until you DO 'feel' it and make the great attitude your own! Sounds trite, but we all know it works! Think about the last job interview you were on...! Right? Yep, it feels 'weird' to try, but it works with men, bosses, the whole world...
I've tried this stuff with my own life, and you will get further if you choose dressing up, taking on a good attitude and having good sex over a fight. It's an odd concept to women, but men live this way. Think about that. Why is it only 'odd' to women? Take on the attitude, take on the world!

Not exactly what I thought but has some insight into fun, pleasure and facing the world with a positive attidude.

Do you want to learn how to be a parasite? Mama Gena can show you how.
She not only show's you how, she also trains you how to fool yourself
into thinking parasitic behavior is an intelligent approach to life.
If manipulating others and 'living for your crotch' is your goal, this teaches you how. If you are uncertain how to feel about yourself when you behave this way, this book is for you.
If she trains you that acting in this way is not the way a parasite behaves, then she controls your mind, just like she teaches in this book.

I feel bad for the people who follow this advice.
How will they be viewed when their beauty is gone, and they need to rely on their friendships? How will others treat them after they've lied and manipulated others for their whole life? Women who follow this advice will end up being the creepy aunt who goes to weddings alone, left alone to have fun by herself, a pathetic site to those around her.

I love Mama Gena. She helps us who are WAAAAAAY too serious in achieving etc etc and are way too serious in life to just lighten up!!! She helps us get in touch with a part of ourselves that we may not even have known about!! Don't take it all so seriously, ladies!! Life is for living! She has helped me TREMENDOUSLY to just lighten up and enjoy being a woman- something I had never even considered and certainly didn't know how to to (as an "acheiver" all of my life!) Love this woman for reminding us of who we are as WOMEN.

We should learn that the word "pussy" does not denote something bad and dirty. Our bodies are beautiful and wonderful and do amazing things and we should love every part of them. Furthermore, how someone could despise the word "goddess" is beyond me. There are several forms of goddess religion in the United States. There is a form of goddess neopaganism that is incredibly rewarding for women who have been hurt and scarred by any of the various man-god religions. These feminine spiritualities often incorporate a reverence for the female body that includes, among other things, respect for the "pussy".
