The paradox is undeniable. Sexuality is used and abused to sell everything from hamburgers to cars. Because almost all people are bombarded by it from early childhood, one would guess everyone knows how it all works. Sadly, nothing could be further from the truth. Fallacies about sexuality abound. Just like the teenage girl who thinks that giving oral sex to her boyfriend will get her love in return, way too many Christian women have wrong answers to basic questions. As tough of a pill as that is to swallow, nothing matches the devastation caused by the misconceptions we have concerning God and sexuality. Instead of searching the heart of the One who created sex for understanding about His perfect design, we have cut Him out the equation. All we have left are a bent and broken set of rules we think He wants us to follow. This misdirection causes heartache. These pages contain all you need to know about sexuality and the true stories of real women, both single and married, just like you. Women who have fallen into the deception both the world and the church have packaged for them and have, after discovering God's truth, found the freedom they were so desperately seeking.
I think it’s amazing that there’s a book celebrating female sexuality from a Christian perspective and for that, I would have given it 5 stars but some of the content is factually incorrect, shaming or just a little weird...
“His sperm needs to be in contact with your vagina to ensure that they recognise each other” I’m sorry what?
There was a paragraph comparing people who’ve had sex with multiple partners to a “disgusting” piece of used sticky tape (we all know the example) and it says “having multiple sexual partners has exactly the same effect of destroying purity”. What’s really the disgusting thing here is not a piece of sticky tape, it’s the fact that the author thought it was okay to put this in a book about “a positive perspective on female sexuality”. It enraged me reading that
However if I pretend that section wasn’t included, for the most part the book was actually pretty good and empowering and gave really good advice for how to raise children to be okay with their sexuality. I would recommend any woman to read this, so long as they can do so critically and expect that they will take some gems from it, but discard some trash at the same time
Love this book! Great tips for how to introduce sexuality to kids even from a young age to not make it weird and also loved all the reminders about how to keep things alive in your marriage. Love the author as well- she is an amazing woman!
