Download or read book The Pleasure Gap written by Katherine Rowland and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American culture is more sexually liberal than ever. But compared to men, women's sexual pleasure has not grown: Up to 40 percent of American women experience the sexual malaise clinically known as low sexual desire. Between this low desire, muted pleasure, and experiencing sex in terms of labor rather than of lust, women by the millions are dissatisfied with their erotic lives. For too long, this deficit has been explained in terms of women's biology, stress, and age. In The Pleasure Gap, Katherine Rowland rejects the idea that women should settle for diminished pleasure; instead, she argues women should take inequality in the bedroom as seriously as we take it in the workplace and understand its causes and effects. Drawing on extensive research and interviews with more than one hundred women and dozens of sexual health professionals, Rowland shows that the pleasure gap is neither medical malady nor psychological condition but rather a result of our culture's troubled relationship with women's sexual expression. This provocative exploration of modern sexuality makes a case for closing the gap for good.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to Really Satisfy a Woman? Then read on...Based on empirical evidence, women in same sex encounters report more pleasure and satisfaction. According to the groundbreaking Shere Hite report on Female Sexuality (described as one of the 100 key books of our time by the Times) 52% of women in the UK ALWAYS orgasm when with a woman!! In Australia and New Zealand that's even higher! 60 % and 61% respectively. Furthermore when asked 'are you curious or would you like to try a sexual relationship with a woman'. . ...71% of UK women said yes! And in Australia and New Zealand its 78% and 80%.Furthermore ancient texts advocate the immense sexual potential of women, in fact in 15AD a spiritual leader in the East declared that when God was giving out sexual desire one tenth went to men, and a whopping nine tenths went to women! Through it all, one truth has remained - women inherently know how to please and satisfy women in a way that, until now, has received little recognition. The Kama Sutra, Ananga Ranga, The Perfumed Garden, and The Tao have all touched upon these areas, but none have fully explored the process and learning to be gained by women who love women.Intense desire, coupled with a not so fulfilling bedroom life, means a tide of sexual frustration sweeping many women!However the situation is not as bleak as it seems. In discussions with numerous bisexual and lesbian women a number of factors have been isolated which may hold the key to bringing pleasure and satisfaction to many women.- Develop a great appreciation of your partners body. Large, small, simply show your appreciation in words or touch, make her feel truly admired. - Facilitate relaxation. In other words take the time to relax the lady in your life - talk, give her a massage, rub her hands, play some music. Remember relaxation precedes arousal - therefore the more relaxed the lady, the greater will be her arousal, and response to your touch.- Increase your foreplay repertoire! For many couples there seem to be degree of focus on two strategic points. By expanding your vision to include often neglected areas such as the neck, back, forehead, eyes, hips, hands - you will be able to provide greater stimulation to her body, and increase arousal. Just make sure you keep this up for at least 20 - 30 minutes to create the desired effect.- Holistic seduction : Vary the stimulation when seducing your love object. Find out her likes and dislikes, interests, hobbies, and talk about them. Make her really feel listened to.. Now use your body language, words, questions, and atmosphere to create the seduction. Your body language should be open and relaxed; your words gentle and pleasing to the mind; the tone of your voice - deep, gentle and steady; slowly steer your line of questioning to sensual topics - i.e. her favorite food, types of massage she likes, the forms of art she admires. This will stimulate her inherent sensuality.- Holistic lovemaking : involve her mind, body and soul. The central idea here is to fundamentally create a sense of connection. By creating this feeling, you will be involving her mind, body and soul in the process, and thereby increase her response to you and her pleasure. Tantric exercise such as simply looking into each other's eyes - creates an intense bond, and fires neurons in the brain responsible for making us feel grounded, protected, and valued. Lye face to face, or sit face to face and simply gaze into each other's eyes. A variation of this is to sit, lie, or stand face to face (with eyes closed and foreheads touching) and simply feel the connection. Once you are familiar with these exercises try co-ordinating your breathing, to create an even greater feeling of connection.- Discover her body, find out her preferences! Is she a G-Spot or clitoral woman? Taylor you positions to give her - her favorite stimulation. As a general rule - positions which stimulate the clitoris are usually face to face, and those tha

Download or read book Sexual Pleasure written by Dr. Barbara Keesling and published by Orient Paperbacks. This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This best-selling book is for anyone who wants to experience intimate, powerful lovemaking without anxiety or pressure. It starts with the first principle of intimacy: to experience deep sexual pleasure, you must explore and enjoy-openly and sensually enjoy-basic human touch and caressing. This approach is also unique because it encourages you to focus on your own sexual desire rather than looking for ways to please your partner. Being more in touch with your own enjoyment will lead naturally to greater passion, sensitivity, and pleasure for both partners. Sexual Pleasure takes the reader through a series of stimulating exercises, done alone and with a partner, to increase sensual awareness and experience sexual ecstasy. These exercises can be used by people of any sexual orientation, and by those who may have physical limitations, or who are just learning about their sexuality-anyone seeking the secrets of strong and fulfilling sex.

Download or read book Women Sex Power And Pleasure written by Evelyn Resh, CNM/MPH and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her new book, Women, Sex, Power & Pleasure, Evelyn Resh, a sexuality counselor and certified nurse-midwife, takes an innovative approach to helping women create the lives – and sex lives – they want. With a funny and compassionate, yet tell-it-like-it-is style, she looks at the relationship between feeling powerful in life and accessing life’s pleasures, and their combined effect on sexual desire. Resh introduces six essential qualities that women must have to live healthfully, stating that when these are out of balance women seem to exist in lives devoid of pleasure, self-empowerment, and sex. These markers of emotional well-being are: • Self-confidence and self-esteem • Healthy Habits • Spiritual Satisfaction • Creativity • Self-assurance/re-assurance • Compassion and Empathy Once the six traits are laid out, Resh devotes the rest of the book to exploring how, when one or more of a woman’s markers of emotional well-being are off kilter, their reasons for avoiding sex mount exponentially. She looks at some of the most common excuses she’s heard over her many years as a sexuality counselor – I Feel Nothing, It’s All He Thinks About, I’m Too Busy!, I’m Too Fat to Have Sex – and outlines the specific imbalances that create this void of sexual desire and activity. With practical guidance, self-assessment questions, and stories from her practice and personal life, Resh explains to modern women how to regain their emotional wellness and live a powerful life that includes a steady relationship with pleasure and sexual satisfaction. This book is a must read for all women. From housewives to sophisticated urban corporate types, from new moms to post-menopausal women – this book will help any woman who feels estranged from her sexual energy and a sense of empowerment, and deprived of pleasure, or who views sex as just another thing to tick off her overwhelming to-do list.
Download or read book Women Sexuality and the Political Power of Pleasure written by Susie Jolly and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-06-13 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering collection explores the ways in which positive, pleasure-focused approaches to sexuality can empower women. Gender and development has tended to engage with sexuality only in relation to violence and ill-health. Although this has been hugely important in challenging violence against women, over-emphasizing these negative aspects has dovetailed with conservative ideologies that associate women’s sexualities with danger and fear. On the other hand, the media, the pharmaceutical industry, and pornography more broadly celebrate the pleasures of sex in ways that can be just as oppressive, often implying that only certain types of people - young, heterosexual, able-bodied, HIV-negative - are eligible for sexual pleasure. Women, Sexuality and the Political Power of Pleasure brings together challenges to these strictures and exclusions from both the South and North of the globe, with examples of activism, advocacy and programming which use pleasure as an entry point. It shows how positive approaches to pleasure and sexuality can enhance equality and empowerment for all.
