Reviews

"The Clitoral Truthtruly reflects the author's impressive commitment to guide readers to a level of exploration that can only be described as 'The Joy of Feminist Sex.'In These Times

"In this handy book, Chalker ... writes about the rarely discussed subject of female ejaculation, and revels in the many splendors of multiple orgasms."Time Out New York

As a writer who covers sexuality and women's health, I've read a lot about female sexual anatomy. So, when I opened up Rebecca Chalker's The Clitoral Truth, 2nd Edition, I was expecting to read a lot of things I'd heard before: that the clitoris is central to most female orgasms, that the vagina expands during sex, etc. And I did read those thingsbut I also read a lot more that not even I'd heard before.Suzzanah Weiss,Bustle

"Rebecca Chalker has written a serious, lively, informative, and let's hope liberating opus on the organ of female sexual pleasure."Alix Kates Shulman, author ofMemoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen
