Joyce J. Penner

This was a very sensitively written and easy to understand book. Written by a married couple who are sex therapists and educators, Joyce and Clifford Penner's premise is that women can enjoy sex within a marriage relationship and indeed have a right to enjoy it as well. It contains exercises throughout which are designed to help build a woman's confidence in expressing what works and doesn't work for her with her husband.

What is most impressive about this book is that when the doctors were giving guidance to help women in discovering their sexuality it was always within the marriage context. They took much of their understanding from what scripture says about how husbands and wives should behave toward each other, and that includes women being empowered to speak to their husbands about the most intimate aspect of their marriage - sex.

This book is written primarily for those women who find themselves having problems, but women who have been married for many years may find its contents very beneficial for their own intimacy. When a couple have been married for a long time it is quite easy to fall into a slump, so it’s reassuring to read a book like Enjoy: The Gift of Sexual Pleasure for Women which says that it’s not only OK to enjoy this part of your marriage but that it is essential for the woman to feel truly at one with her husband.
