Sense & Sensitivity

I went in to a bookstore with a simple request; "Do you have anything written by lesbians for lesbians, concerning how to have empowered sex after rape". No one seemed to be able to come up with any useful suggestions and I thought all hope was lost. Until, that is, I discovered this book. It is not specifically aimed at lesbians, or even women only. Everyone who wishes to be able to enjoy sex after the pain of abuse will find help here. It is also an essential aid for anyone who is having sex with someone who has been through the trauma of non-consensual abuse. It is informative, sensitive and very well written. Its chapters cover areas such as personal triggers, communication of fears, letting go of the physical trauma, and masturbation, right up to BDSM if that's your thing. It also includes a comprehensive resource section. Finally we have a guide in what can only be described as an isolated wilderness. When you think no one will ever be able to help and you are completely alone, Staci Haines has come through for all of us. If you have any issues around sex which stem from childhood abuse or adult rape, or if you are the partner of someone who has been through this, you may well find the help, support and advice that you are looking for here. Thank you Staci.
