Description

The classic guide to fully enjoying the pleasures of self-love, full of warmth, intelligence, and informative line drawings—from a renowned sex educator featured on Netflix’s the goop lab with Gwyneth Paltrow

Confronting one of our last and most deeply rooted taboos—masturbation—noted sex expert and pro-sex feminist Betty Dodson, Ph.D., takes the shame out of self-love by creating a straightforward and appealing guidebook that reveals masturbation as a satisfying, vital form of show more sexual expression.

Dr. Dodson demonstrates how anyone can learn to make love alone with feelings of guilt or loneliness, and explains why masturbation is sexually and spiritually fulfilling for both men and women. Not only is it the safest sex, but sharing masturbation can also be a sensual treat for couples who want to learn more about each other’s sexual responses.

Sex for One demonstrates that self-loving is not just for times in-between lovers or for social misfits. Masturbation is the joyful and ongoing love affair that each of us has with ourselves throughout childhood, adulthood, and the golden years of old age.

This book is more of an historical account of Dodson's and American culture's changing attitudes and experiences than a mere guidebook, which makes it relevant to wide audiences.
I read this on a whim not expecting much, but I ended up with a new empowerment and healthy relationship towards masturbation and sex in general
Dodson has imagined a utopia of sorts... if everyone masturbated, the world would be a perfect place! Haha. Still an interesting read, but anyone with a healthy sex drive probably should skip it.
Gave a copy to my ex-wife as a divorce gift because I was a horse's backside back then.

Con calidez e inteligencia, y dibujos lineales informativos, Dodson explica cómo cualquiera puede aprender a disfrutar plenamente los placeres del amor propio, señalando que la masturbación sigue siendo el sexo más seguro.
