Want to Really Satisfy a Woman? Then read on...Based on empirical evidence, women in same sex encounters report more pleasure and satisfaction. According to the groundbreaking Shere Hite report on Female Sexuality (described as one of the 100 key books of our time by the Times) 52% of women in the UK ALWAYS orgasm when with a woman!! In Australia and New Zealand that's even higher! 60 % and 61% respectively. Furthermore when asked 'are you curious or would you like to try a sexual relationship with a woman'. . ...71% of UK women said yes! And in Australia and New Zealand its 78% and 80%.Furthermore ancient texts advocate the immense sexual potential of women, in fact in 15AD a spiritual leader in the East declared that when God was giving out sexual desire one tenth went to men, and a whopping nine tenths went to women! Through it all, one truth has remained - women inherently know how to please and satisfy women in a way that, until now, has received little recognition. The Kama Sutra, Ananga Ranga, The Perfumed Garden, and The Tao have all touched upon these areas, but none have fully explored the process and learning to be gained by women who love women.Intense desire, coupled with a not so fulfilling bedroom life, means a tide of sexual frustration sweeping many women!However the situation is not as bleak as it seems. In discussions with numerous bisexual and lesbian women a number of factors have been isolated which may hold the key to bringing pleasure and satisfaction to many women.- Develop a great appreciation of your partners body. Large, small, simply show your appreciation in words or touch, make her feel truly admired. - Facilitate relaxation. In other words take the time to relax the lady in your life - talk, give her a massage, rub her hands, play some music. Remember relaxation precedes arousal - therefore the more relaxed the lady, the greater will be her arousal, and response to your touch.- Increase your foreplay repertoire! For many couples there seem to be degree of focus on two strategic points. By expanding your vision to include often neglected areas such as the neck, back, forehead, eyes, hips, hands - you will be able to provide greater stimulation to her body, and increase arousal. Just make sure you keep this up for at least 20 - 30 minutes to create the desired effect.- Holistic seduction : Vary the stimulation when seducing your love object. Find out her likes and dislikes, interests, hobbies, and talk about them. Make her really feel listened to.. Now use your body language, words, questions, and atmosphere to create the seduction. Your body language should be open and relaxed; your words gentle and pleasing to the mind; the tone of your voice - deep, gentle and steady; slowly steer your line of questioning to sensual topics - i.e. her favorite food, types of massage she likes, the forms of art she admires. This will stimulate her inherent sensuality.- Holistic lovemaking : involve her mind, body and soul. The central idea here is to fundamentally create a sense of connection. By creating this feeling, you will be involving her mind, body and soul in the process, and thereby increase her response to you and her pleasure. Tantric exercise such as simply looking into each other's eyes - creates an intense bond, and fires neurons in the brain responsible for making us feel grounded, protected, and valued. Lye face to face, or sit face to face and simply gaze into each other's eyes. A variation of this is to sit, lie, or stand face to face (with eyes closed and foreheads touching) and simply feel the connection. Once you are familiar with these exercises try co-ordinating your breathing, to create an even greater feeling of connection.- Discover her body, find out her preferences! Is she a G-Spot or clitoral woman? Taylor you positions to give her - her favorite stimulation. As a general rule - positions which stimulate the clitoris are usually face to face, and those tha

In Shopping for Pleasure, Erika Rappaport reconstructs London's Victorian and Edwardian West End as an entertainment and retail center. In this neighborhood of stately homes, royal palaces, and spacious parks and squares, a dramatic transformation unfolded that ultimately changed the meaning of femininity and the lives of women, shaping their experience of modernity. Rappaport illuminates the various forces of the period that encouraged and discouraged women's enjoyment of public life and particularly shows how shopping came to be seen as the quintessential leisure activity for middle- and upper-class women. Through extensive histories of department stores, women's magazines, clubs, teashops, restaurants, and the theater as interwoven sites of consumption, Shopping for Pleasure uncovers how a new female urban culture emerged before and after the turn of the twentieth century. Moving beyond the question of whether shopping promoted or limited women's freedom, the author draws on diverse sources to explore how business practices, legal decisions, and cultural changes affected women in the market. In particular, she focuses on how and why stores presented themselves as pleasurable, secure places for the urban woman, in some cases defining themselves as instrumental to civic improvement and women's emancipation. Rappaport also considers such influences as merchandizing strategies, credit policies, changes in public transportation, feminism, and the financial balance of power within the home. Shopping for Pleasure is thus both a social and cultural history of the West End, but on a broader scale it reveals the essential interplay between the rise of consumer society, the birth of modern femininity, and the making of contemporary London.

Starting with Bad Behavior in the 1980s, Mary Gaitskill has been writing about gender relations with searing, even prophetic honesty. In This Is Pleasure, she considers our present moment through the lens of a particular #MeToo incident. The effervescent, well-dressed Quin, a successful book editor and fixture on the New York arts scene, has been accused of repeated unforgivable transgressions toward women in his orbit. But are they unforgivable? And who has the right to forgive him? To Quin’s friend Margot, the wrongdoing is less clear. Alternating Quin’s and Margot’s voices and perspectives, Gaitskill creates a nuanced tragicomedy, one that reveals her characters as whole persons—hurtful and hurting, infuriating and touching, and always deeply recognizable. Gaitskill has said that fiction is the only way that she could approach this subject because it is too emotionally faceted to treat in the more rational essay form. Her compliment to her characters—and to her readers—is that they are unvarnished and real. Her belief in our ability to understand them, even when we don’t always admire them, is a gesture of humanity from one of our greatest contemporary writers.
