Women
Without Sex
•
Research into women's sexuality has revealed that as many as four in
ten women have sexual difficulties at some time in their life. This book
examines what can cause sexual problems in women – from impaired
blood flow to hormonal damage.
• Sex problems are not just linked to 'the menopause' or ageing
– in fact FSD, female sexual dysfunction, is a condition affecting
many young women in their 20s and 30s.
•
The book suggests how women can seek help or how they can help themselves
through a variety of new and established techniques, including exercises
and love-making techniques.
