Reading this book is like receiving advice from a best friend with a great sense of humor who shies away from no topic. Oh, and she's an OB/GYN and menopause specialist, so she knows what's she's talking about.

Though the subtitle of this book may have you believe that's it's only for middle-age women, I think the vast majority of this book is a must read for women of any age. The first part of this book sets the record straight on outdated, patriarchal myths about pleasure and intimacy. Part two shows you how to be proud of your kinks and curiosities with no shame. The last section includes all the taboo topics that you may not even be comfortable talking about with your bestie.

Topics include:
* How to spice up missionary and doggy style, plus a few other positions you may want to try.
* What is your G-spot, C-spot, and A-spot? How to find them and get pleasure from them.
* Squirting...what it is and how to do it.
* Dirty talking tips

There are so many more topics (100 to be exact) that are broken up into easy-to-read lessons, that are each a couple of pages in length. I love reading non-fiction books like this about women's health and wellbeing. I have read quite a few and I still learned many new things in this book. For example, what vabbing and TV dinner sex is. I had a great time reading and learning. I really appreciated the author's sense of humor.

This book was very informative, eye opening. While there are a lot of puns I can throw in here, I will refrain (barely). This book is the information you need and don’t want the FBI to see in your search history. The topics that are too taboo to discuss with anyone, other than your best friend who probably still won’t know the right answer. This one is going to be saved to my kindle for life reference, just beside prepping for dummies and homeopathic treatments that I’ll need one day because it contains precious cargo. Chapter 46 is life. Heather Bartos is out here doing the Lords work for women of all ages
