Items related to Pleasure: The truth about female sexuality
The author of this book has taken a wide cross-section of women from varied backgrounds and at all stages of the life-cycle to find out about their experiences and feelings. Looking at what they say in the light of feminist analyses and the psychological and psychoanalytic literature on female sexuality, she finds that, 30 years after the "sexual revolution", women's sexuality is still suppressed. In her quest to explain why, she explores the issues of faking, celibacy and self-effacement, what girls are taught to think of as sexuality, the waxing and waning of desire, how teenagers conduct their sex lives and symbolism and fantasy.

Contents clean, tight and white without bookplates, inscriptions, foxing or other markings. 330 pp. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. "In this shockingly honest - but equally sensitive - taboo-busting book, Margaret Leroy not only examines how and why women achieve or fail to achieve sexual pleasure, but also opens a window on just how different women's sexuality is from men's, and the bearing this has on the way women interrelate with men in our society. Emerging from the stories of the many women who voiced their real feelings - often for the first time - as an attainable vision of how female sexuality could be better understood, better attended to and better fulfilled." - Jacket blurb. All orders professionally packed, tracked and/or signed for, and insured. Seller Inventory # 006044
