Reviews

Understandable & Interesting


(5 stars)

I'm not sure why the other reviewer hated it & then copied the intro. It's hard to rate books that aren't stories. I like to discover what people thought in the past & this tells you as it's info from the author but he sites many other works & scientists. He relates topics to animal behaviour & to various societies. Hearing about all the items females used for pleasure was a bit painful to hear but it's reality. If you're not interested in sexual psychology then you shouldn't listen to this. While many ideas are outdated it's still fascinating & easy for the average person to understand.


(4 stars)

I have not made it all the way through yet. Seems interesting and hopefully has some good insights.

interesting early study of human sexuality. so much has been learned since this was written.

bad


(1.5 stars)

Didn't like the book, unfortunately! It's not a study , with reasoning and professional; psychology mentioned in title is irrelevant. Appreciate the reading on this difficult subject and this kind of book
