Reviews

'Essential reading for any health professional working in sexual and reproductive health, as well as those training and those needing to refresh their knowledge in this area.' Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care

'Essential reading for any health professional working in sexual and reproductive health, as well as those training and those needing to refresh their knowledge in this area.' Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care 'This should have been titled 'All you ever wanted to know about the issues around contraception'. This is a relatively unique book in that it is the first book I have read that covers libido and sexual drive as well as discussing the issues around sex and contraception at different stages of life ... I found this book very interesting and will keep it to use as a handy reference book for the facts behind contraception, some of which are not usually covered.' The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist
