Editorial Reviews

Charlie Glickman, PhD, Education Program Manager, Good Vibrations
“One of the smartest sex guides I've read. Debby Herbenick has a gift for explaining sexuality--using science, personal experiences, her background as an educator, and the many stories her clients have shared with her. The entire book is full of helpful information, useful suggestions, and the supportive advice that most of us wish we'd heard earlier. No matter how much you know about sex, there are lots of great ideas in this book. Plus, Herbenick addresses the most common (and lots of uncommon) questions in every chapter, with compassion and clarity.”
