BECOMING CLITERATE

Laurie Mintz…wins this year’s award for best book title, pun division, with Becoming Cliterate.

Down with ill-cliteracy! The tongue is mightier than the sword! Brothers and Sisters-in-arms (and legs and butts and hearts and souls), bring your huddled masses to this book and embrace orgasm equality! Think outside HER box! Viva la Vulva!

An excellent, thorough, inspiring and much needed guide to the source of our deepest energy, pleasure, and power—the clitoris. Everyone needs to read this book and become CLITERATE.

For too long, men and women have assumed that getting a penis inside a vagina is the holy grail of sex. For men, maybe, but women’s sexual satisfaction depends on way more than this. Fortunately, Laurie Mintz provides dozens of helpful suggestions to increase women’s sexual pleasure. I encourage both men and women to read this valuable and insightful book.

What a fascinating and deeply empowering book. I wish every woman could read what Dr. Laurie Mintz has to teach us about our bodies. It’s strange that sometimes that which is a mystery to us is also that which is most intimate in our lives. Dr. Mintz demystifies a lot of things about women’s sexuality. Education is the best way to dispel shame and fear, and Dr. Mintz’s book really does a beautiful job.

Becoming Cliterate will change how we think and talk about female sexual pleasure. The orgasm gap isn’t a consequence of women not knowing how—it’s a cultural problem that we should be reading about to discover what went wrong in the first place.

Women experience sexual pleasure – and, often orgasm – from diverse ways of physical and mental stimulation. This book provides a wealth of information on the clitoris and ways of imagining and creating a more fulfilling sexual life.

If you sometimes feel lost on the way to your orgasm, Becoming Cliterate is the map (and the cheering section) you need to find your way. Grounded in research and packed with real-world tips, readers will thank Mintz for her truth-telling.

This read doesn’t just zero in on the politics of pleasure inequality, it also offers up solutions that help the reader become more hands on (literally) with their own sexuality.

This book is set up like a college textbook for female orgasm, with some philosophy and pep talks and then some hands-on experimenting. And a chapter at the end for male partners to read. What more could you need?

A fun and empowering reminder that sexual dissatisfaction is not inevitable….Becoming Cliterate does a good job questioning these basic assumptions, re-orienting us to another vision of what sex can be, and giving practical advice.

Brilliant

A manifesto for today’s orgasmic insurrection… Mintz is unpretentious and intuitive… Becoming Cliterate will help many women reach their orgasm objectives.

Dr Mintz is leading the revolution in how to become more sexually satisfied and understand the cultural forces that have worked against that for so many years.

Fun, funny, and empowering. A must-read for people with clits, especially those who are having sex with people with penises.

Personable, witty, and easy to read … Becoming Cliterate could be considered a book for anyone with a vulva as well as anyone who is interested in having sex with someone with a vulva.

Dr. Laurie Mintz draws up biology, sociology, and sex therapy to provide a comprehensive manual for both achieving orgasm and raising awareness about female orgasm. Readers will walk away with suggestions for changing our culture of sexuality and, more specifically, female orgasm.

Applicable and attainable lessons punctuated with [Mintz’s] characteristic humor … and impudent endorsement of pleasure-seeking as our prerogative. … Unabashedly and refreshingly sex-positive.
