Synopsis

Over 20 years ago, Masters and Johnson established that women have at least as great a capacity for sexual pleasure as men. Yet many women take very little pleasure in sex. What goes wrong? To find out, Margaret Leroy talked to a wide cross-section of women of all ages. As they revealed their experiences and feelings, she found herself exploring issues of faking and self-effacement, how girls are brought up to think of their sexuality, the waxing and waning of desire, libido - or the loss of it - after childbirth and in middle age, fantasy, glamour, masochism, and the concepts of beauty and ugliness. In this book, Leroy opens a window on women's sexual pleasure, and how different it is from men's, and offers a vision of how female sexuality could be better fulfilled.

About the Author

Margaret Leroy read music at Oxford and subsequently became a social worker and social work researcher involved in counselling couples and sex therapy programmes, and in work with abused children and teenagers. Since taking her MA at Leicester University she has published numerous articles and two books. She is married and has two daughters.
