Book Reviews of Tickle Your Fancy: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Self-Pleasure
Book Review: A great guide for self pleasure. But it could've been more!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had just read Sadie Allison's, "Tickle His Pickle: Your Hands-On Guide to Penis Pleasing," so I thought I'd give her companion, "Tickle Your Fancy: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Self-Pleasure," a try.
When the book arrived, I was taken back by its size. The book is fairly small, being roughly the dimensions of a 5" x 7" note card with about 90 pages. But even so, it was still packed with information. The style of writing and the illustrations were both light and breezy. And the tone is meant to reassure women of the rightness of self-pleasure, the assumption being that women are somehow stymied in this area (and may instead live sexually through their men).
Like Sadie's other book, the first half deals with background and preparation, (anatomy, exercise, and grooming), while the second half covers the physical aspects of the art, (different self masturbation techniques, and the use of sex toys).
Sadie offers several clitoral stimulation methods (such as up-and-down, side-to-side, three-finger stroking, massaging and tapping, to name but a few). She also highlights the G-spot, and even shows a diagram on how to find it with your fingers. (`Thank you,' Sadie.) The author also explains how to use dildos and vibrators (dildos that buzz) -- and how to apply them to one's button - along with versions designed to stimulate the G-spot directly (these having an "L" shaped bend at the end to accomplish this).
Looked at as a whole, this book is probably good at just de-mystifying those most intimate portions of a woman's body that we hardly ever talk about. And, just judging by some of the other reviews, many men have already found this little digest to be a handy `how-to' guide for giving feminine pleasure as well.
It's in this area - of using masturbation as a sharing technique - where I think Sadie could've gone much further. Rather than having to figure this out for ourselves, I wish Sadie would've told us how to incorporate masturbation into our own love making sessions with our men - and perhaps with women as well. For younger girls, touching each other intimately can be a delightfully enhanced version of self-discover (as it was for me). Later, in a more serious relationship, it can be a less daunting erotic first step than say, oral sex. And in some ways it's even more intimate - because you can still talk and verbally communicate with your lover - while doing so.
The other area where Sadie could've also provided more information was in the area of fantasizing. Although she deals with it briefly, she covers mainly the physical aspects of masturbation - rather than highlighting the emotional and aspirational role that fantasies play in our lives. Fantasies can help us to imagine - or prepare us for - those pleasures that we haven't yet experienced. Masturbation and fantasies go hand-in-hand, and I'm sure that many women might need some encouragement in this latter area as well.
For me (and several of my girlfriends), masturbation became a much more enjoyable part of my life - when I allowed myself to start fantasizing about other women. Porn, which Sadie covers only briefly - and girl-only porn (which features only women) - were great aids to this. And since many men also enjoy watching girls making love, this is a fantasy - once acquired - that you can delightfully enjoy together. I'm sure if Sadie were to include a chapter on girl-only fantasies and movies - and how to share and enjoy both (along with masturbation) with your man - that many women would find this instruction to be exceptionally useful.
To conclude, Sadie's, "Tickle Your Fancy: A Woman's Guide to Sexual Self-Pleasure" is a great road map for understanding one's body. This book really expanded my own knowledge on the G-spot, different ways to touch myself, and for the variety of sex toys that are currently available.
But I really wish that Sadie would go beyond just "self-pleasure" and teach us how to use masturbation - and fantasies -- to strengthen our other relationships as well. Enjoy!
