Sexual Intimacy for Women helps female couples examine the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of their relationships, with the goal of creating more intimacy. Exercises and client-based anecdotes from Dr. Corwin’s years of experience with same-sex couples help women overcome common issues around orgasm, body image, identity, aging, and parenthood. Dr. Corwin dispels myths, examines the intricacies of female desire, and gives advice to help couples achieve long-lasting, healthy, and fulfilling relationships.

This book is well-intentioned, but it ends up reinforcing a lot of the systemic problems and misconceptions about women’s sexuality. A lot of the messaging is for women to just get over their insecurities, stop being so preoccupied with how they feel or what they want, and have sex because it will feel good in the end and it’s good for the relationship.

The author doesn’t offer effective tools or strategies to help women who want to feel more desire for their partners. Saying things like you shouldn’t be ashamed of your body because overweight women can still be sexually desirable, for instance, doesn’t do enough to interrogate “overweight” as a largely arbitrary and often weaponised term to control women’s bodies, or to help women heal from deeply internalised shame that can cause.

If you’re interested in women’s sexuality and how to nurture healthy sexual intimacy between women (or people of any gender, really), I strongly recommend Emily Nagoski’s “Come As You Are” and “Come Together.”
