An engrossing read: amusing, frightening, and informative in turns. Drenth has provided an excellent basic resource for thinking about women''s genitalia as more than flesh and function. -- Virginia Braun BMJ Journals (04/23/2005)


"""A wise and sympathetic view from a knowledgable male professional who has really been listening to women. Drenth's book is full of intriguing anecdotes both personal and historical.""--Rachel Maines, author of The Technology of the Orgasm: Hysteria, the Vibrator and Women's Sexual Satisfaction (11/1/2004 12:00:00 AM) ""Entertaining and illuminating.""--Lucy Ellmann ""The Glasgow Herald"" (2/1/2005 12:00:00 AM) ""A highly satisfactory collection . . . fascinating accounts of the physiology of vaginal response, thoughtful readings of literature, films, and works of art, and a surprising range of trivia. The erudite book displays a brisk and slightly demented sense of humor."" --Jenny Davidson ""Village Voice"" (5/3/2005 12:00:00 AM) ""An engrossing read: amusing, frightening, and informative in turns. Drenth has provided an excellent basic resource for thinking about women's genitalia as more than flesh and function."" --Virginia Braun ""BMJ Journals"" (4/23/2005 12:00:00 AM) ""Straddling the genres of popular science, literary criticism, how-to, and cultural studies, this 289-page tome is packed with fascinating facts and provocative analysis, all delivered in a quirky, thoughtful voice.""- Bitch (Feminist Response to Pop Culture) -- ""Bitch"""
