Book Reviews of I Am My Lover: Women Pleasure Themselves
Book Review: Erotic? Explicit? Beautiful? Joyous? Dreamy? Steamy? Yesss!
Summary: 5 Stars
Joani Blank is among the true mothers of the movement to establish a more open sexuality in America and in the this beautiful volume she carries the standard forward again. Six photographers present here their images of 12 women, each masturbating alone, sometimes using sex toys, sometimes outdoors. Short commentary from each woman is included: beautiful, blunt, poetic, always characterized by the ring of honesty. Honesty is a word that comes to mind again and again as this writer re-visits "I Am My Lover". Honesty and openness, warmth, symapathy, acceptance and appreciation, all wrapped in sexual passion, love, and respect for the variety in human sexuality are in these fine photographs.
This may be the sexiest, most erotic book in my library.
Book Review: This book helped me explore my own body wonderfully!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book helps every woman explore their own body. I am not very good with the men at my school and so this helps me pleasure myself in every way imagined since I don't have a man to do that for me. This book helps me explore my "G" Spot. They never taught me this in school, and believe me for certain people who look like me this book creates wonders!!! I have so much more self esteem now that I know that I can get pleasure from myself. Now I know that late at night I'm not alone...I'm free to explore myself without anyone. It has helped me a lot and I owe this book to bringing my sexuality back to me.Book Review: Not what I expected
Summary: 1 Stars
Having read the other reviews for this book, I was expecting it to be a complete turn-on. Instead, I found the photographs, for the most part, crude and too explicit to arouse me. Men may find the book more appealing than heterosexual women. But I returned the book (after laughing with my friends at most of the pictures).Book Review: I was disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
The other reviews said great things about the book. However, when I got it, it was not appealing at all (in my opinion....to men and women). The women are regular women, but many have tattoos and piercings that were just too weird for this reader. I thought I would learn something from the book, but instead it almost repulsed me. I have returned the book.Book Review: Photographic, beautiful, informative.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful, photographic book of twelve women masturbating, with short essays by most of them. The printing and presentation is of high quality. I appreciate the book for its beauty and because it is so rare to find a book that addresses female masturbation.The women are ordinary women -- some older than others, some larger than others, with the occasional tattoo or piercing; often using just their hands, sometimes using a vibrator or dildo.
This is clearly not a book of erotica designed to arouse, but a book of beauty designed to inform. This book joins Joani Blank's "Femalia" on my book shelves as a book I'm proud to own and proud to show around to friends.
