Overall, this is a good book. It touches on themes of femininity and sexuality in a thought-provoking way, and the author’s perspective is both honest and engaging. I went into it expecting more of a traditional self-care guide, so it wasn’t quite what I anticipated. That said, I still found it enjoyable and appreciated the insights it offered. A worthwhile read if you’re open to exploring deeper aspects of womanhood beyond surface-level wellness tips

Combining emotional intimacy, boundaries, and self-love creates a comprehensive approach to feminine empowerment that goes beyond surface-level confidence building.

Whilst I will readily admit it was partially my error and oversight that led to an incorrect assumption in regards to this book (I missed the author’s name when I started the book and made the incorrect assumption it was written by a woman). As a tired and also happy Mama of three, I picked up this book to try and reignite the spark in my marriage, but felt mothers to young children were a demographic that was seriously overlooked. The book read like it was a woman encouraging other women to explore their sensuality. Now I know it’s written by a man, who may have a man’s knowledge of women’s bodies, he will never have a women’s knowledge of their own bodies or sexuality. In hindsight it came across as borderline rape culture and mansplaining of women’s bodies to women - especially being written by a middle age cisgender white man. If he had a PHD in Women’s Studies or Sexuality that would be one thing, and had if he had used female’s voices - whilst the stories involved could have been anonymous, they could just have easily been fictional from how the book read, but I couldn’t find any information to corroborate that he had those credentials. I don’t wish the author ill, and I also feel it’s highly inappropriate for a man to mansplain women’s sexuality to them, and to market it as spirituality, and that this information would have been better and more appropriate coming from a woman or being co-written with a woman.
