If you read Consumer Reports magazine you're familiar with the clear, understandable, truly helpful information and style. OUTWITTING OSTEOPOROSIS is even better! The book was urged on me by an enthusiastic woman friend (I'm a guy) who is also a women's health professional and teacher. I read the whole book -- not only because it was so interesting, but so well organized and well written. You will quickly find your appreciation and gratitude soaring for the bones that literally support all the rest of your body. And as you learn more, your appreciation increases! I've never read a book that does that, nor one that GIVES so much! Osteoporosis is a stealthy, mean disease. Our ignorance allows it to severely ruin our lives (yes, certainly including men) and those of other people we care about. Well, it's not going to ruin mine! It will probably SAVE mine! And for that I'm even more appreciative and grateful to the authors -- and to the friend who urged me to read it. Thank you all!

I'm getting close to 50, and my daughter just turned 20, and we BOTH benefit from the kind of helpful, preventive and life-saving information in this book. The authors have done a great job educating women about bone health -- a topic not many of us talk about with any frequency OR authority, but we should. I remember a grandmother with a broken hip, and how a simple fall set in motion a series of events that robbed her of the last years of her life. Women don't have to suffer any more, and they can start now -- no matter what age -- with the kind of information in "Outwitting Osteoporosis." Thanks, Ronda and Beverly, for your contributions to women!

Wow! This book worked miracles on me and my health. When the doctor told me I had osteoporosis, I didn't know what to do. He was barely any help. So I went to my local bookstore and picked up this book. Let me use 4 words to describe it: It saved my life. It gave me such helpful hints like "be careful not to fall down" and such. I totally reccomend this book! I couldn't put it down.

I am an 18 year-old senior in High School, and I have read Carol Ellison's Women's Sexualities for my Psychology AP class. Reading about other, more experienced women's sexual experiences has helped me define my own views of sexuality, and has given me a chance that not every girl has, to learn from my elders the mistakes not to make. Ellison's book is detailed, informative, and interesting. It is well-written, and she gives many view-points for each topic, showing what happens rather than what should happen to women sexually. I recommend this book to any women who wants to know what other women experience. I especially recommend this book to teenage girls on the brink of adulthood, around the time that they start to experiment sexually, and young-adult males who want to understand the experiences of their girlfriends. With new information in every paragraph, there is much to be learned from Dr. Carol Ellison's Women's Sexualities.

For over two millenia, powerful Feminine Mysteries handed down from generation to generation of women have mostly been enervated, forgotten, and buried. With and without conscious intent, women still shelter our sexuality from religious persecution, social control, relationship obligations, and our own parents' (and sometimes our children's)sexual inhibitions. Although they may be dormant, the Mysteries are by no means dead to us. The time is ripe to reclaim our right to sexual wholeness. This doesn't mean being sexually active, it means being all of who you are, including celibate.

Dr. Ellison has written a book to help those of us who want to discover, uncover, or recover our natural, healthy sexuality. She has done this through voices of American women of all ages, from all over the U.S., who speak candidly about their sexual energies. The book is divided into four sections: The sexualities of women Development: The path to sexual womanhood Sexual partners: Licit and illicit Erotic pleasure

In each chapter, Dr. Ellison gently, and with deep understanding, redirects our conditioned thinking about sexuality and give us facts, she lets women, themselves, tell us the many ways of claiming and reclaiming sexual energies, and gives the reader an opportunity to consider and act on issues in her own life. Topics include childhood sexual discoveries; sexual attitudes and values; love, sexuality, and sexual boundaries; first intercourse; partners and contexts; consensual nonmonogamy and affairs; masturbation and fantasy; sexual satisfaction and partnered sex; varieties of orgasms; sexual concerns and problems; creating pleasure with a partner; and my own personal favorite: sexual self-acceptance. Although written for women, men will get a good idea of what we are about sexually, it's that spelled out.

This is not another techniques, fantasies, and gimmicks book to turn you on when your integrity has turned you off. It is about sexualities, your energy for life, who you are as a woman and how you can be more fully you, whether or not you are in a relationship.

This book is an effective tool for women's groups to reawaken, rekindle, and support our increasing self-knowledge. I am recommending it not only to clients but to friends and to my adult children. And, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, myself.

Despite folk "wisdom" to the contrary, the "g-spot" does indeed exist, and this book identifies it.

There is an area of tissue near the skenes glands which has special nerve endings and tissue, and when pressed upon will eventually cause a contraction of the nearby muscles in a "pushing" style which can be combined with other sexual stimulation to cause a uniquely intense orgasm.

The medical explanation for this area is that the baby's head presses upon it during the birthing process, bringing on the final round of pushing/contractions to complete the birth.

This book is good, but the best technique book on Amazon for using the g-spot for sexual recreation is "ESO: Extended Sexual Orgasm"

This book is only outdated BECAUSE it was among the first in its class to explore the concept that a woman is allowed and supposed to gain pleasure from sex and deliver that idea to the public. In that regard it is an amazing piece of sexual education literature. The revised edition was released in the early 80s, but I believe it was written much earlier than that. It was written during a time when women (and men) were much less informed about the female anatomy, and there are numerous accounts in this book of women being embarassed by their orgasms because they were misunderstood. I believe that this book is helpful not only to the women of the time it was written but to women today. I read this book knowing full well what a G Spot was and what it did but I still found the history of it to be quite fascinating. In reading this book I not only came to more fully understand my own body and how it works but also what I can do to help it work more efficently and to my best sexual advantage. This book changed my sex life in an amazing way and for that I will always be grateful.

This is the best book I have read on this topic so far, and it is a pity that I haven't read it before. I truly believe that my sex life would have been different, and probably more fulfilling. This book is a must for all those women who do not find their G-Spot by accident, and especially for those who still do not believe that the G-Spot does exist. This book should contain enough scientific proof and information to convince everyone.
