When it comes to discussions about sex and sexuality, it's not uncommon for certain parts of the body to be left out or even taboo to talk about. The vagina is one of those areas, but in Pussy: A Reclamation, author Regena Thomashauer seeks to change that by encouraging women to embrace and reclaim their sexual power.
Thomashauer's book is part memoir, part self-help, and part feminist manifesto. It begins with a frank discussion of the author's own experiences with sex and how she came to view her own sexuality as something to be celebrated rather than suppressed. She then goes on to provide a roadmap for other women to do the same.
One of the main themes of Pussy: A Reclamation is the idea that women have been taught to view their sexuality as something shameful or dirty. Thomashauer argues that this is a harmful and false narrative and encourages women to rediscover their own bodies and the pleasure that they can bring.
The book also touches on topics such as body image, relationships, and the ways in which society reinforces harmful ideas about women and their sexuality. Thomashauer is a strong proponent of self-love and encourages women to embrace their own desires and needs.
In terms of writing style, Thomashauer's prose is often bold and unapologetic. She isn't afraid to use strong language or to challenge societal norms. At the same time, however, she writes with a warmth and compassion that makes it clear that she genuinely wants to help other women feel empowered and confident.
One of the strengths of the book is its emphasis on practical advice. Thomashauer provides exercises and techniques that women can use to reconnect with their bodies and their sexuality. These exercises range from simple things like taking time to appreciate your own body to more complex practices like creating a Pussy Love Altar.
This is a powerful and important book that encourages women to embrace their own sexuality and to view their bodies with love and respect. Thomashauer's writing is engaging and informative, and her message is one that is sure to resonate with many women. If you're looking to reclaim your own sexual power, this book is a great place to start.

This book has given me many great ideas and even more practical advice. I see some reviewers saying this was mostly a general sales philosophy and outdated advice. If you're already on sale, this might be a re-hash for you. There are criticisms of the book that it doesn't talk about tools, metrics, and so on, and I agree that it's important.

I should have started reading much earlier. A really good book.
