Book Reviews of Femalia
Book Review: Celebrate it if you have one!! Every one is sacred
Summary: 5 Stars
I Love this book, but maybe not as much as some of my friends who's comments inspired me to have a look at it. I am a bloke, I spend a fair amount of my time in nudist environments and most of my intimate partners have been pretty uninhibited (outdoors in daylight as opposed to at home with the lights out). A conversation amongst some female friends made me realize that I had been very `up-close' with a variety of female genitals in full light and that for most of these girls, that was something they had never experienced, being mostly straight and often not even having just studied the centre of their own womanhood over a mirror. I felt like I had taken so much for granted, the sacred centre of womanhood that has been the focus of so much since before recorded history, yet for some of those for whom this was part of their physical body they hardly had enough knowledge to recognize it if they were looking at it. Yet for me, as a bloke, I'd had partners with genitals more like tight lipless pores to one who would joke about the size of her `saddlebags' and I'd had the opportunity to explore them all in detail.
The one thing every one of those vulva, vaginas, clitorises and collective genitals had in common was they were each a major part of a woman's sexuality, part of the physical vehicle to many and much so much more powerful than the `mere physical', part of the Esoteric and the Mystic, the Sacred, the Wicca, so much a part of the powers we still cannot fathom-the soul moving experience of Childbirth, the power of Orgasm and the strength of Motherhood.
This book is not a `turn-on', not at the superficial level anyway, but more a celebration of the holy of holies and may move you at a deeper level if you are in tune to the power and sanctity represented.
I hope every woman who flicks through this accepts and Loves themselves and their own body more as a result. Regardless of age, race, size of labia, or anything else, if you land next to me on the beach, be proud of just exactly who you are and the altar in the centre of your temple of womanhood. My banal and purely functional penis next to your `Femalia' will be humbled alongside all of what your womanhood represents. Cheers. Lloyd
Summary of Femalia
Thirty-two full-color photographs of women's genitals reflect the diversity of women's bodies. Therapists, sex educators, women's health clinicians -- and all women -- will find this volume a welcome addition to their libraries. "You will find these images some of the most beautiful you've ever seen, or be shocked by them. This book is a magic mirror letting you know exactly how you feel about female genitalia. It's a perfect coffee table book." Annie Sprinkle, Performance Artist "In these photographs of the vulva the hidden is revealed--as a reality and as an art form. The anatomic variability which makes each human face distinct is clearly reflected all over our bodies, and is now appreciated in the 'femalia'."
