Book Reviews of I Am My Lover: Women Pleasure Themselves
Book Review: Authentic and beautiful
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is NOT for you if you are going to be freaked out by explicit (beautiful, poetic, explicit) images, or by women of various ages and body types (as opposed to silicone-implanted Barbie dolls), or if you think that the tensions and grimaces (and radiant smiles) of orgasm are "un-lady-like". It IS for you (whether you are female, male, straight, gay or bi) if you are interested in seeing real women gleefully demonstrating their favourite methods of masturbation in gorgeous black-and-white photographs by a selection of different photographers (some female, some male as well), accompanied by their own words and thoughts about solo sex.
"I Am My Lover" is joyous, liberatory, educational, and jaw-droppingly erotic. None of the photos are "staged" or designed to fit someone else's idea of what's sexy - the sexual energy is so real it seems to shine off the pages.
Book Review: Very motivational and inspirational.
Summary: 5 Stars
Joani documents masturbation for what it is. It is a very natural and pleasurable act. Every one of these women has a unique experience to share with the reader. Each woman responds differently to different types of sexual stimuli--dildos, vibrators, etc. Yeap, their appearances vary from one to the next, but hey! women aren't Barbie dolls. I admire and congratulate them for being courageous and pioneering. Yes! Women have a right to share about their experiences just as men do on their own ways. Masturbation is normal. It's our birthright!Book Review: Just a question

I haven't read or seen this book, only seen its title. I think it is an important book to make though and I congratulate Joani Blank and friends for putting it forth. My only impression of it from reading the reviews and from my own experience of other books of this pioneering style is that sometimes they can lack some of the 'emotion' aspect as someone else mentioned. It ends up appealing more to the mind/intellect or being merely visually glamorous, as opposed to being earthy and sensual, as one would expect from the title. This is a sweeping generalization, I know...Sorry. :\ My other comment is why are both the photographers men? Surely there are many talented women photographers who would've loved to work on this project. Through sheer identification, women photographers might have added some extra warmth and insight to to the images and the book, and also be the owners of 'the look' in terms of presenting women to themselves. PS - Excuse the rating! Had to fill it in.

Book Review: This is not a helpful book.

I can't believe somebody said, "this book unlocks the woman within." Are you ladies nuts? This book is trashy, crude and distasteful. I also returned my book. It was a waste of money.
