"An excellent, thorough, inspiring and much needed guide to the source of our deepest energy, pleasure, and power-the clitoris. Everyone needs to read this book and become CLITERATE." -- Eve Ensler, author of The Vagina Monologues and In the Body of the World "What a fascinating and deeply empowering book. I wish every woman could read what Dr. Laurie Mintz has to teach us about our bodies." -- Sara Benincasa, comedian and author of Real Artists Have Day Jobs (And Other Awesome Things They Don't Teach You In School) "Women experience sexual pleasure - and, often orgasm - from diverse ways of physical and mental stimulation. This book provides a wealth of information on the clitoris and ways of imagining and creating a more fulfilling sexual life." -- Debby Herbenick, PhD, associate professor at Indiana University and author of Because It Feels Good "For too long, men and women have assumed that a penis inside a vagina is the holy grail of sex.Women's sexual satisfaction depends on way more than this. Fortunately, Mintz provides helpful suggestions to increase women's pleasure. I encourage both men and women read this valuable and insightful book." -- Paul Joannides, Psy.D., author of Guide to Getting it On "Becoming Cliterate will change how we think and talk about female sexual pleasure. The orgasm gap isn't a consequence of women not knowing how-it's a cultural problem that we should be reading about to discover what went wrong in the first place." -- Betty Dodson, sex educator and author of Sex for One "If you sometimes feel lost on the way to your orgasm, Becoming Cliterate is the map (and the cheering section) you need to find your way. Grounded in research and packed with real-world tips, readers will thank Mintz for her truth-telling." -- Dorian Solot, co-author of I Love Female Orgasm "Down with ill-cliteracy! The tongue is mightier than the sword! Brothers and Sisters-in-arms (and legs and butts and hearts and souls), bring your huddled masses to this book and embrace orgasm equality! Think outside HER box! Viva la Vulva!" -- Ian Kerner, PhD, LMFT, New York Times bestselling author of She Comes First "This read doesn't just zero in on the politics of pleasure inequality, it also offers up solutions that help the reader become more hands on (literally) with their own sexuality." -- Bust Magazine "This book is set up like a college textbook for female orgasm, with some philosophy and pep talks and then some hands-on experimenting. And a chapter at the end for male partners to read. What more could you need?" -- Book Riot "A fun and empowering reminder that sexual dissatisfaction is not inevitable...Becoming Cliterate does a good job questioning these basic assumptions, re-orienting us to another vision of what sex can be, and giving practical advice on how to be a boss bitch during sex." -- Feministing "Laurie Mintz, a professor of psychology at the University of Florida, wins this year's award for best book title." -- New York Times "You'll be reading for pleasure in more ways than one." -- Bustle
