About the Book
Masturbation is like tuning a radio—you don’t know what frequencies you’ll enjoy until you play with the knobs.
Masturbation has a complicated stigma attached to it; everybody is doing it, but not everybody is talking about it. Myths about masturbation run rampant: Touching yourself will cause cute kittens to die! You’re going to go blind! But in Getting Off, Jamye Waxman makes it her mission to reinforce the truth: Masturbation is a totally natural and normal way for women to connect with and find pleasure in their bodies.
Fun and informative, with illustrations by award-winning artist Molly Crabapple, Getting Off provides women with a wealth of masturbation knowledge—the history, the mechanics, the joys of sex toys—plus clear, concise tips on getting off.
