Books like Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving

A friend handed this to me as she was packing her apartment. She read it for a sexuality class in college, and said it was a good read. I'll admit, Betty Dodson approaches the topic with the idea of liberating masturbation and allowing people to realize that self love is healthy and nothing to be ashamed of. She talks with a sense of openness and humor, and it was an enjoyable read. Although I will never understand how people are comfortable having sex talk groups in the nude, I appreciate the spirit in which she discusses the matter. She even took part in one of the studies at Rutgers where the charted the vitals of people during climax - and was amused to find out that they had to stop her because her vitals simulated a near heart attack. Dodson is a woman comfortable with herself where so many people are more afraid of what people will think or say about their innermost fantasies and sex practices, and if nothing else, this is a book that will reaffirm that there is no "normal", and as long as you can be comfortable in your own skin - anything goes.
