The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women

RESOURCES

The American Medical Women’s Association Guide to Sexuality by Roselyn Payne and Susan Cobb Stewart (New York: Dell Books, 1996). Although it may look like a conservative, straight-laced, dry medical guide, don’t judge this book by its cover (or title); in fact, it’s incredibly informative and has especially useful details on women’s sexual health as well as STDs and how they affect both the vagina and the rectum.

Anal Pleasure and Health by Jack Morin (San Franicisco: Yes/Down There Press, 1986). As far as I am concerned, Jack Morin is the anal sex guru, and everyone should get a copy of this book; based on over six years of research, this latest of several revised editions is the most reliable source for information on anal sex. It also includes extensive work on psychological aspects of anal sexuality. A new edition is due in 1998.

The Complete Guide to Safer Sex edited by Ted Mcllvenna (Fort Lee, NJ: Barricade Books, 1996). From The Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, this book is thorough, easy to read, sex-positive, and an invaluable source of information about sexuality and safer sex practices.

The Erotic Mind: Unlocking the Inner Sources of Sexual Passion and Fulfillment by Jack Morin (New York: HarperCollins, 1995). Another gem from Jack Morin, this book explores our most intense turn-ons and how they are often linked to our own life struggles.

The Essential AIDS Fact Book by Paul Harding Douglas and Laura Pinsky (New York: PocketBooks, 1996). One of the more recent books on the subject, this book offers clear, concise information on HIV and AIDS, including history, transmission, prevention, testing, health care, insurance, and legal matters.

The New Good Vibrations Guide to Sex by Cathy Winks and Anne Semans (San Francisco: Cleis Press, 1997). Subtitled Tips and Techniques from America’s Favorite Sex Toy Store, this volume includes a wealth of information on sexual practices and techniques, anatomy, safer sex, and, of course, their specialty, sex toys. It also includes a super resource guide.

The Janus Report on Sexual Behavior by Samuel S. Janus and Cynthia L. Janus (New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). Self-described as “the first broad-scale scientific national survey since Kinsey,” this book analyzes the findings of a sex research project.

The Kinsey Institute New Report on Sex by June M. Reinisch, Ph.D., with Ruth Beasley, M.L.S. (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1990). Subtitled What You Must Know to Be Sexually Literate, this is the latest work based on the Kinsey-Roper survey done in 1989.

The Lesbian SIM Safety Manual, edited by Pat Califia (Los Angeles: Alyson Publications, 1988). Although this was compiled a decade ago, it has plenty of solid information on lesbian sexuality and SIM; just remember the AIDS information is outdated.

Sex for Dummies™ by Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer (Braintree, MA: IDG Books Worldwide, 1995). Dr. Ruth’s guide to the basics of sexuality: anatomy, birth control, AIDS, romance, foreplay, after-play, masturbation, sexual health, and plenty of her therapeutic advice. You can also check out Dr. Ruth online at http://www.drruth.com.

Sex in America: A Definitive Survey by Robert T. Michael et al. (New York: Little, Brown and Company, 1994). The results of and commentary about a 1992 sex survey by social scientists.

Shared Intimacies: Women’s Sexual Experiences by Lonnie Barbach and Linda Levine (New York: Anchor Press, 1980). A sample of interviews of American women about their sexual activities, styles, preferences, fantasies, and experiences. Frank, varied, and interesting.

Trust: The Hand Book (A Guide to the Sensual and Spiritual Art of Handballing) by Bert Herrman (San Franicisco: Alamo Square Press, 1991). The definitive guide to all aspects of handballing, or anal fisting, including preparation, techniques, safety, health, drug use, questions and answers, and the spiritual aspects of handballing.

The Woman’s HIV Sourcebook: A Guide to Better Health and Well-Being by Patricia Kloser and Jane MacLean Craig (Dallas, TX: Taylor Publishing, 1994). An HIV/AIDS reference guide geared toward women, with information on transmission, prevention, testing, health care, relationships and family, and legal and financial concerns.

Your Sexual Health by Dr. Jenny McCloskey (San Francisco: Halo Books, 1993). An international best-seller, this book covers everything you need to know about sexual health, from anatomy to safer sex, with extensive information on STDs.
