This is a sexual relationships book, not a sex manual. There will be no diagrams or tips about technique. What you will find are thoughts, reflections, stories and decidedly personal opinions about what makes for a good sexual relationship. My goal is for this book to be your friendly confidante-an older sister, best friend, mother, or aunt-who loves and supports you, wanting only the best for you as you set out to become the fabulous woman you are meant to be. In each chapter various women, ranging in age from their 20's to 70's, share their coming-of-age stories in the hope that their life experience might be of use to you. All of us in these pages hold up the truth of our lives to serve as lampposts as we shine our light to illuminate your own, unique path. This is our gift to you. (From the introduction of Loving Sex).
