Many, if not most, people remain in the dark about the actual workings of the vagina and vulva. The primary purpose of »Read My Lips« is to educate women and men about the vulva and vagina in a manner that is smart, informative, and entertaining. Readers will come to think differently about women's genitals and become a little more curious and a lot more comfortable with them. They will learn more about the female body in terms of health, sex, pleasure, culture, and art. Though based on sound scientific and medical research, the book is accessible to the masses, so women and men who are curious about the clitoris, Brazilian waxing, labiaplasty, or whether the G-spot really exists, will find something of interest in these pages.
