Book: The Clitoral Truth

The Clitoral Truth
The World At Your Fingertips

By Rebecca Chalker, Illustrated by Fish; Seven Stories, $19.95

Dismissed and misunderstood for hundreds of years, the clitoris is the one part of the female body whose sole purpose is pleasure. The truth is out there, and internationally celebrated sex educator Rebecca Chalker has something to say about it. In The Clitoral Truth, Chalker offers the only mainstream, in-depth exploration devoted solely to women's genital anatomy and sexual response. Her highly informative tour of the clitoris is a sexuality workshop in book form. Female readers -- straight, lesbian, and bisexual -- will learn new routes to sexual pleasure and new ways to enhance their sexual response. Male readers will discover a world they never dreamed of.

The Clitoral Truth describes how women have begun to transform the deeply entrenched male-centered model of sexuality by emphasizing full-body pleasure, and the ways women are increasing their pleasure through masturbation, sex toys, videos, books, workshops, individual coaching sessions, and through the wealth of information on the Internet.

Here are vivid personal accounts, a savvy, in-depth survey of female sexuality resources, and the bold illustrations of San Francisco artist Fish.

For people who want to expand their sexual horizons: discover The Clitoral Truth.
