A pretentious book for irresponsible scared people who don't believe in themselves or common sense. Listen to any goat bleat for 20 minutes and it'll make more sense than this did.

This is evil garbage. I saved my virginity for marriage because of books like these. I was married for five years, and the entire time I had vaginismus, which is where your vagina spasms during sex and makes sex extremely painful. It's common in people who are raised with these sorts of beliefs. I NEVER had good sex while married. Eventually I got fed up and left, and I haven't had a single recurrence of the vaginismus since. Unmarried sex is awesome, and I love it. Do not read this book.
