When the Earth Moves: Women and Orgasm

Owning our desires should be neither embarrassing nor uncomfortable. Nor should they be subject to anyone else's moral judgment of what is right or wrong, good or bad, normal or abnormal. Combining communication and information is the key: by shrugging off the taboos against talking about our preferences and experiences when we're being sexual, we will take the first and most important steps toward ensuring our own fulfillment. WHEN THE EARTH MOVES is an unflinchingly honest, responsible, and thoroughly comprehensive exploration of female sexuality. Topics include: The physical types of orgasm, such as electrical, flying, pounding, deep, waves, and blips; Orgasm as an emotional release; The elusive orgasm and why some women have difficulty having one; How often we fake them and why; Masturbation; Multiple orgasms; The male-female dichotomy; Penetration and the G-spot; Defining the erotic; and Sex toys.

This book was recently mentioned in Timothy Ferris's best seller, THE FOUR HOUR BODY. The most highly recommended book of its kind, an updated version is due to be released in July, titled THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO ORGASM FOR WOMEN.

This book was delightful to write - and the many interviews I conducted were both extraordinary and very educational for me!  A million thanks to all my interviewees. I am very pleased that the book is being reprinted this year, and I think the new version will make it even more accessible. In the thirteen years since I first wrote this book, my apprecation of the power of sex and how it can teach us to allow energy to flow through our bodies freely has really grown. In the coming months, I will be teaching workshops all over the world on tapping into flows of energy to help us in our daily lives. This utilization of energy is often labelled shamanic work -- and we could consider sex to be a deeply shamanic practice.
