Women's Sexual Passages
Finding Pleasure and Intimacy at Every Stage of Life
by Elizabeth Davis
As women become more attuned to their bodies they become more self-aware, and with this self-awareness comes a greater desire for meaningful intimacy. Elizabeth Davis empowers women to take control of their sexuality by blending lessons on physicality, emotion, intuition, creativity, and spirituality. She unravels the mystery of how—and why—women’s desires change during the course of a lifetime, describing the influences of:
* biological rhythms
* hormones, menstruation and pregnancy
* birth and child rearing
* cultural attitudes, menopause and aging
Davis examines the impact that stress, overwork, major life events, relationship upheaval and sexual abuse can have on a woman’s sexuality. Chapters address sexual awakening and sex in the later years, including information on how hormonal changes during menopause are linked to increased insight and assertiveness. Women’s Sexual Passages is a frank, personal and exciting journey into women’s sexuality.
