Enjoy! The Gift of Sexual Pleasure for Women

by Joyce J. Penner, M.N., R.N. and Clifford L. Penner, Ph.D

OVER OUR MORE THAN forty years as sex therapists and educators, we’ve come to realize that many assumptions about women and sex simply are not spot-on. And what’s worse, they do not work well for a lasting, mutually enjoyable sex life in marriage. There are plenty of ways to end up with these beliefs and practices, which do more harm than good. Personal history, culture, experience, and confusion regarding Scripture—all of these influences can lead to false assumptions about women and sex. While many of these ideas do contain a germ of truth, we’ve learned that often they are applied incorrectly. Throughout this book, we’ll share our observations and findings about women and sex. What we’ve learned and taught has made a positive difference in the sexual relationships between many husbands and wives.

It’s our hope that you, too, can find that fulfillment
