For women who have difficulty achieving orgasm or who simply want to know more about the inner workings of a woman’s anatomy, The Elusive Orgasm, by clinical psychologist and sex therapist Dr. Vivienne Cass will be an interesting and educative read. It speaks on a number of important issues relating to women’s sexual experiences.

Here are some of them:

  • 30% of women have difficulty reaching orgasm.
  • Many are dissatisfied with their sexual lives and would like to improve upon them. They may find pointers to help in the book.
  • The book provides an overview of women’s sexual pleasure in lucid and easy to understand language.
  • It may help in understanding your own sexual triggers.
  • The different stages of female arousal, and the power of the mind (they say the most important sexual organ is between the ears) are explained.
  • Sex and the sexual experience are different for women and men; why is this?
  • A free and frank discussion about the clitoris, a rarely touched upon subject.
  • The 5 types of orgasm (which we didn’t know about!).

  • Step by step help for women and their partners.
  • Exploration of all the many reasons why women may find it difficult to achieve orgasm and help on remedying each situation.
