Overview

An illustrated book that reveals all the facts thoughtfully and frankly. The vagina: It can be surprising to learn how little many women know about this important part of their anatomy. It is not generally a topic of conversation and, if mentioned at all, its name is cloaked in euphemisms like ""down there."" This book is for all women - prepubescent, pubescent and adult - no matter how much they already know. Supportive male partners also would benefit from reading it. Accessible and straightforward, this illustrated guide reveals all the functions of the female reproductive system, its various parts, its practical purposes, and its pleasures and problems. The facts are presented in a generous spirit with light humour to help readers learn the facts in private, without embarrassment or discomfort, and to better understand this essential part of female health and well-being. The topics include: . The Vagina... and Its Neighborhood. Where Is It? . Vagina Anatomy: What Does It Look Like? Perineum, Vulva, Labia, Vestibule, Hymen, Clitoris . The Vagina's Neighbours: Bladder and Rectum . The Vagina in All Its Forms and In Everyday Life . What Does the Vagina Secrete? What Is the Vagina For? . The Vagina at all Ages: Birth, Puberty, Adulthood, Menopause . The Vagina and New Life: Pregnancy, Childbirth, Breastfeeding . The Vagina for Pleasure: Lubrication, Orgasm, the G-Spot, Sex Toys, Vaginal Farts . Contraceptives: The Pill, Vaginal Ring, Implant, Desogestrol, IUD, Condoms, Diaphragm and Spermicides .

Offers a back-to-basics guide, beginning with what exactly the vagina is and precisely where it's located, and progressing through its many functions and possible malfunctions. Puberty, contraception, pregnancy, and pleasure all get their due in a matter-of-fact presentation that, with the aid of diagrams and graphs, aims to demystify a part of the female anatomy that we speak very little, and often poorly about, Bagot writes.-- (07/13/2020)
