A revolutionary approach to female sexuality that focuses on relaxation as the key to achieving deep orgasmic states.

• Explores how receptive feminine energy influences the male-female exchange.

• Reevaluates the role of the clitoris, breasts, and vagina in achieving orgasm.

• Provides ancient tantric meditations for increased sensitivity and awareness.

Fulfilling sex nourishes love, rejuvenates the body, and boosts mental health. Unfortunately, prevailing attitudes in the West work against the natural capacity of women to realize their sexual potential and experience deep orgasmic states. Tantric Orgasm for Women offers women a fresh look at the ecstatic bliss possible within their bodies, using knowledge and approaches from the sensually cultivated traditions of the East.

Exploring Tantra from the female perspective, Diana Richardson reveals the critical role receptive feminine energy plays in allowing orgasmic states to arise. Her 20 years of tantric research and personal experience provide readers with an understanding of how the various parts of the female body may be activated to deepen ecstatic states. Readers will learn how to re-circulate orgasmic energy; why breast stimulation takes priority over vaginal attention; the difference between soft penetration and deep sustained penetration, including how to avoid premature male ejaculation; and how women can strengthen the erection response of male partners. Tantric Orgasm for Women shows how women can exert a powerful influence on their sexual experiences when they understand the inner workings of their bodies and when they avoid adopting conventional ideas about what should be satisfying to them.

A Rare Tantric Gem from a Female's Perspective (2010-02-22)

For fans of tantra, newbies or long time practitioners, this book is an absolute joy. Ms. Richardson explores the tantric realms with a uniquely feminine perspective, and she does so with grace and insight. Her studies with the amazing Osho are also highlighted here, as she pulls out some of the master's best tidbits on this subject, and expertly integrates his wisdom with her own. Don't let the title fool you into thinking this is just a book on gratuitous pleasure - this is a truly deep and explorative text that gently navigates these marvelous energies. Ms. Richardson's use of language to describe this journey is just gorgeous, and the exercises cover both those an individual can do, and of course couples as well. Lots of surprises about the tantric path in here as well, but they all feel spot-on perfect. Thank you Diana for this marvelous book :)

Very Late (2009-08-28)

I tried to contact the seller twice and there was never a response. Then the product arrived 5 days AFTER the projected arrival date. I needed it for a book club meeting. However, the book was in excellent condition.

Highly recommended to all women who desire to know themselves on all levels.

Life changing book! A must read for all women! (2008-07-24)

I had taken a couple of tantra workshops and this book provided even more information than i thought possible! This is a must read for every woman. I am getting copies for my close women friends and verbally telling other galfriends about it. It is easily read-able and do-able. This has changed my sex-life forever.

Margaret Sanger's Eugenic Legacy: The Control of Female Fertility

Author: Angela Franks
Publisher: McFarland
Publication date: 2005-01-28
ISBN: 0786420111
Pages: 359
Rating:
Price: $45.00

Margaret Sanger, the American birth-control and population-control advocate who founded Planned Parenthood, stands like a giant among her contemporaries. With her dominating yet winning personality, she helped generate shifts of opinion on issues that were not even publicly discussed prior to her activism, while her leadership was arguably the single most important factor in achieving social and legislative victories that set the parameters for today’s political discussion of family-planning funding, population-control aid, and even sex education.

This work addresses Sanger’s ideas concerning birth control, eugenics, population control, and sterilization against the backdrop of the larger eugenic context.

A Brave New World, American Style (2009-11-09)

Well documented and astute study of the Huxley-like world Sanger would have loved to see come to fruition. Those intersted in this topic should also read "the War Against The Weak." A stark reminder that those who know what is best for us are just waiting for their chance. Sanger did not invent the blueprint, she sought to further it.

A Book That Ties The Birth Control Movement To Eugenics (2009-08-06)

This book connects some dots in history that our public education and college educations don't want connected namely Margaret Sanger's hand in helping to motivate the most sinister scientific idealogy in history EUGENICS! It examines Planned Parenthood's many leaders who were also eugenicists. Keep in mind that eugenics was anathema to woman's rights to reproduce being that at it's apex it led to the administration of mandatory sterilization of thousands of womenfrom disadvantaged backgrounds. This book led me to gems like this article featured in the NY Times in 1950 of Margaret Sanger calling for the government to forcebly sterilize women [...]

The book's references are all listed in the extensive bibliography and all the author's research was done in the library of congress so most of the book is based on the key player's own quotes. She even gets into how eugenics is connected to the genetic engineering movement. The book is written in a very eloquent manner but is not difficult to read or bogged down with overly academic terminology also the author doesn't tow the line that most authors do when criticising the birth control movement and evagelizing through the entire book with religious passages.

Pro-life zealot wrote this hatchet job (2009-07-10)

The author, Angela Franks, is a pro-life zealot. She is violently anti-choice, and anti-birth control. Like many pro-life zealots, she views Planned Parenthood and its founder, Margaret Sanger, as satan incarnate.

Margaret Sanger's primary concern, as clearly expressed in her own writings, was (1) the health of women, and (2) to empower women to space-out their children in accordance with their family circumstances. It is true that Sanger discussed voluntary eugenics in some of her writings, as many of her contemporaries did, as well. But - putting things in proportion - eugenics are a very tiny part of Sanger's philosophy.

The pro-life movement in the U.S. has demonized Sanger, and the primary tool they use is to seize on the few eugenic-related writings of Sanger and blow them up all out of proportion. And that is what this book does. It is a propaganda piece, written by a pro-life zealot.

If you want a more balanced portrayal of Sanger, you can try her own autobiography, or "Woman of Valor: Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control Movement in America". A good book for teenagers is "Margaret Sanger: Rebel For Women's Rights" by Cox. The most objective, detailed book is "Birth Control in America: The Career of Margaret Sanger" by Kennedy.

The sordid truth about margaret sanger (2009-06-08)

If people really want to read about the real racist, and monster in regards to goverment sanction of regulating groups of people especially the helpless, poor, dregs of society and the unborn this is a excellant book that describes, how disgusting this fraction of a human being really is.

Objective source for women's history course (2009-06-02)

This is a great source to cite when telling the real motivations behind Margaret Sanger's goals for birth control. Sanger will be sainted by any college professor. It is nice to have some ammunition against someone who holds Sanger in such high esteem. Including but not limited to professors, pro-abortion rights political junkies, or anyone who thinks Planned Parenthood is anything more than racist organization who covers up for rapists and kills babies.
