Masturbation

by Betty Dodson.

My first post-marital relationship was a sexual turning point. Blake was an exciting man.

Sexual Healings

by Miss Desmond Clark.

Do you know how to tie your shoe? I hope so. Now, do you remember who taught you how? Whether it was your Mom or Dad is unimportant... but do you remember?

The Sexual Surrogate

Illustrated Manual of Sex Therapy by Helen Singer Kaplanby Barbara Roberts. In modern Western societies the messages about sex are extremely contradictory and confusing.
