Becoming Cliterate - Why Orgasm Equality Matters--And How to Get It

Laurie Mintz

Summary

We’ve been thinking about sex all wrong. Mainstream media, movies, and porn have taught us that sex = penis + vagina, and everything else is just secondary. Standard penetration is how men most reliably achieve orgasm. The problem is, women don’t orgasm this way. We’ve separated our most reliable route to orgasm—clitoral stimulation—from how we feel we should orgasm—penetration. As a result, we’ve created a pleasure gap between women and men:50% of 18-35-year-old women say they have trouble reaching orgasm with a partner64% of women vs 91% of men said they had an orgasm at their last sexual encounter55% of men vs. 4% of women say they usually reach orgasm during first-time hookup sex
In Becoming Cliterate, psychology professor and human sexuality expert Dr. Laurie Mintz exposes the broader cultural problem that’s perpetuating this gap, and what we can do about it. Pulling together evidence from biology, sociology, linguistics, and sex therapy into one comprehensive, accessible, and prescriptive book, Becoming Cliterate features: Cultural & historical analysis of female orgasm (spoiler: the problem’s been going on for ages)An anatomy section (it’s all custom under the hood) Proven techniques for cliterate sex (it starts with training the sex organ between your ears)A comprehensive final chapter for men (because you don’t have to have a clitoris to be cliterate)
By dispelling the lies, misunderstandings, and myths that have been holding us back, Becoming Cliterate tackles both personal and political problems and replaces them with updated outlooks and practical skills needed to change our collective perspective on sex. It’s time to finally inform women and men on how to have satisfying experiences in bed that benefit both parties.
The revolution is cuming—and Becoming Cliterate offers a radical, simple solution to progress and pleasure for all.

Are You In A Toxic Relationship?...

D.C. Johnson

There are toxic people in our lives who have done us emotional harm and are holding us back from who we can and want to be. Toxic people all have characteristics in common. It is crucial we recognize them and learn to deal with them. 
Toxic people are manipulative, controlling, self-centered, destructive and insecure. Their insecurity drives them to put others down. They shame us and fill us with guilt if we don’t support them or criticize them. They can never be wrong. Which means, we are always in the wrong. Toxic people are born narcissists. It’s important to learn what drives toxic people and how to not become their victim. 
In “Are You In A Toxic Relationship? How to Let Go and Move On With Your Life”, you will learn to recognize toxic people. They can be your parents, siblings, spouse or boss. Parents can establish very destructive patterns with their children. Because children are young and don’t know better, they come to believe this pattern is normal and continue along the same path as adults. They let more toxic people into their lives and are afraid to trust people who are supportive. 
You will learn to break the patterns of toxicity and let happiness and joy into your life. You will never change a toxic person. But you can change yourself, your own life, and where you go in life. It’s a wonderful journey, and this book can be your guide to achieving a happier and more fulfilling life.

Finding My Right Mind

Vanessa Potter

When Vanessa Potter woke up one morning blind and paralysed, she was astonished to discover that it was meditating, not drugs, that saved her, helping her on the road to recovery. Working with neuroscientists on a unique ‘citizen science' experiment, wearing a portable EEG headset that records her brain activity, Vanessa becomes a human guinea pig, investigating whether meditation can transform her life, forever. Books on meditation normally teach us how to meditate – not what happens when we try. For the curious or sceptic alike, Vanessa provides an unusually voyeuristic and often humorous glimpse into how powerful the right practice can be.“Fascinating…ten different ways to train the mind, written in the context of learning to be the best that we can be for ourselves, our families and our loved ones. It doesn't matter what you think you may know about meditation, consciousness or yourself, there is much to be learnt here.” ISABEL LOSADA, bestselling author
