The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex: What You Must Know to Be Sexually Literate
Click on the book, as it is a great one to read for all women. Unless you're....nah...can't think of any reason why a woman wouldn't read it.
There's a Hite Report on male sexuality too, but I felt there was a bias because it was written by a woman. You know, it's not all the facts. Ok, what I mean is there's nothing false in the book, but I felt her opinions were showing in the book. It wasn't just a scientific study.
Woman: An Intimate Geography.
This looks like such a good book. Check out this quote from Amazon. Click on the paragraph to read more.
Amazon.com. Despite scientific evidence to the contrary, as far as the health care profession is concerned the standard operating design of the human body is male. So when a book comes along as beautifully written and endlessly informative as Natalie Angier's Woman: An Intimate Geography, it's a cause for major celebration. Written with whimsy and eloquence, her investigation into female physiology draws its inspiration not only from scientific and medical sources but also from mythology, history, art, and literature, layering biological factoids with her own personal encounters and arcane anecdotes from the history of science. Who knew, for example, that the clitoris--with 8,000 nerve fibers--packs double the pleasure of the penis; that the gene controlling cellular sensitivity to male androgens, ironically enough, resides on the X-chromosome; or that stress hormones like cortisol and corticosterone are the true precursors of friendship?"
Hey, someone else had a great book idea, was it on this webpage?
WAIT!!! This sounds like the best one!!!!!!!! The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex: What You Must Know to Be Sexually Literate
"From Publishers Weekly
Despite its intimidating subtitle, this is an immensely useful and informative compendium. Writing with Beasley, former assistant director of the Kinsey Institute, syndicated columnist Reinisch, director of the Institute, presents her responses to hundreds of queries addressed to the Institute. Coverage ranges from the ABCs of making love to discussions of emotional commitment, sexual dysfunction, contraception, homosexuality and sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. There is a section on puberty written for young adults, as well as material of special interest to parents, couples with problems conceiving, people over 50 and the disabled. Supplemented by illustrations and diagrams, this primer dispels misinformation and fears surrounding sexuality with responsible, frank, detailed advice. It includes the results of a Kinsey/Roper survey revealing widespread sexual ignorance nationwide."
