I was immediately drawn in by this clever cover, but that's about where my love for this book ended. It wasn't bad per se, but I was hoping it would have a lot more new information. This book is honestly geared at high school girls who no little to nothing about sexuality and their bodies. There wasn't anything new or groundbreaking in this book other than questioning what ingredients are in tampons. I think this would be a great read for young adults or those who skipped over health class, other than that it's all common knowledge. It talks about the difference between birth controls, sexually transmitted diseases, periods, sex, masturbation, and anatomy. Underwhelming. ( ) From the founder of the Get On Top movement for sexual health awareness and cofounder of Sustain (all-natural sexual wellness products) comes this book that covers all the basics of sexual health for women, targeted specifically at women in the 18-35 age range. Written in a casual style, Hollender (with medical consultants) covers the basics of anatomy, periods, masturbation, birth control, STIs, and sex. While most of the content here was already familiar to me, it's a good refresher. I could also see this as being a useful jumping off point for discussing sex and sexuality with your teen. However, note that due to Hollender's background working with Sustain (an off-shoot of Seventh Generation products) there are sections that focus heavily on her areas of concern (i.e. avoiding products that use certain chemicals). It's also worth noting that if you're looking for a specific how-to guide on masturbation or sex positions, this is not the book you're looking for. no reviews | add a review
A smart, actionable guide to help women take control of their sexual health and learn about vital information in a pro-pleasure, safety-first, and sex-positive way from a leader in sexual education for the GirlBoss generation. Women are suffering--especially in the eighteen to thirty age range. They're suffering from misinformation, fear, intimidation. They're worried about the side effects of birth control, confused about consent, sexuality, and cheating, and don't know when or always even where to seek medical attention. Women need answers from someone they trust, from a partner. And Get on Top is that partner. Written by the creator of the Get On Top national campaign, cofounder of Sustain all-natural sexual wellness products, and daughter of the founder of the billion-dollar green company, Seventh Generation, this book helps women access all the facts they need to make smart, healthy, and safe choices when it comes to sex by continuing the conversation, by answering questions, and by providing the information in a relatable and totally normal way. Meika answers questions similar to those she receives every day from the thousands of readers and listeners of the GetOnTop campaign and fans of the green brands, Sustain and Seventh Generation. It's a chance to give conversational advice to readers. Chapters include topics such as birth control, STDs, sex, masturbation, and what PH is and why it's important. Meika answers all of the questions women have about sex in an unselfconscious, straightforward, real, and enlightening way. Not sexed up, not sleazy. Just smart, actionable information for any and all sexual questions. Not only will it teach women everything they need to know about their bodies, Get on Top will also change the way women think about sexual health. No library descriptions found. |
