Product Description
The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is a groundbreaking book that is long overdue! Christiane Northrup, M.D., delivers a breakthrough message that will help millions and millions of perimenopausal and menopausal women just like you understand that at menopause . . . life has just begun! It is the beginning of a very exciting and fulfilling time, full of pleasure beyond your wildest dreams! Dr. Northrup believes that it?s time for you to step forward and learn to enjoy the best years of your life! Even though studies show that menopause doesn?t decrease libido, ease of reaching orgasm, or sexual satisfaction, the majority of menopausal women aren?t experiencing the pleasure and sexual satisfaction that is their birthright. It is a long-held misconception that menopause signals ?the beginning of the end,? and nothing could be further from the truth. In this fascinating book, Dr. Northrup candidly guides you toward experiencing life after 50 as the most pleasurable time of your life!

 Sacred Sex - Even with Yourself! December 6, 2008
Love from Both Sides: A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality Now, because I am a woman, a writer (that's my book), a widow, and a working hypnotherapist -- I help women lose weight -- I read this book with a different eye. Meaning, would I recommend it to my clients or not? Even though the negative reviewer from Ashland made some valid points about the difference between oxytocin and nitric oxide and what happens in the brain and the body, most readers won't care. Unlike Christiane's other books, (that I always recommend to clients) she didn't fill "Secred Pleasures" with lots of scientific research. It's a chatty, accessible book that simply makes it okay to love yourself and appreciciate your own body. And considering the age group that this book targets, many memebers of that group were taught that sex was evil, filthy and shameful. If they were to stumble on this book, and do a few exercises, I feel that they would benefit from them. Even though I lost my husband seven years ago, and didn't have sex for almost 3 years, once I took control of my own sexualtiy and fired it up again, I was able to bring it back to life. And because of that, I'm having the best sex of my life. And I have a client who is in her 80s and she's still sexy as all get out!

 Disappointing... November 10, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I wanted to like this book, I really did. But I found it lacking in many ways. There just wasn't a lot of good information that I didn't already know, and in some sections it just wasn't clear. I didn't come away from it with a feeling that I had learned much that was new or exciting. I know this isn't what I expected, because the book is advertised as a "breakthrough" but it certainly was not a breakthrough for me. I thought the author was just re-hashing old information from her previous books which were more informative than this one. I'm sorry to say, but I just wouldn't waste your time or money on this book. Overall, I just feel that she didn't put a lot into this book and it is disappointing. Normally I don't write negative reviews, but I have to agree with some of the other writers who say that this book is a letdown.
Not just for women in Menopause November 6, 2008

The Secret Pleasures of Menopause is different from Dr. Northrup's last three manifestos: Wisdom of Menopause, Women's Bodies and Mother-Daughter Wisdom....which, by the way, are all great reference books for women. This new book weighs in at just 166 pages but is packed with a plethora of information for women of all ages. In a nut shell, this book is a prescription for expressing positive sexuality during menopause...thus the title The Secret Pleasures of Menopause. I admire Dr. Northrup for laying out a direct "plan of action" for self-cultivation. As a woman in perimenopause I found the book uplifting and relevant and quite frankly even younger women could learn a thing or two from this book. Great read!
