Welcome!

What I really want is to spread the word about women’s sexuality and to build up – especially – women’s confidence in themselves. For sexuality is a creative power that fills us with energy and lets us flourish.

Discussions around sexuality are still weighed down by all kinds of ballast. Recent surveys have shown that 60% of all those questioned, but especially women, find it hard to talk about sex. German government studies of the centre for sexual education have even concluded that knowledge about sexuality is diminishing. Serious, progressive education has a hard stance against the distortions spread in the public arena. Sexual images, it seems, remain firmly in the hands and minds of visual media and advertising companies. Teaching materials used at schools are reticent about describing and showing details of the female anatomy, many of them are simply incorrect. About female ejaculation and the prostate hardly anything may be found. Ignorance creates dependancy, it weakens potency and female desire. As a rule women do not have “sexual dysfunctions“ or “blocked orgasms“ – that is, in any case, what the pharmaceutical industry makes us believe. There is a serious lack of knowledge about sexuality and what is equally lacking is an empowerment for masturbation and self-exploration. If a woman does not know what she likes, how can she tell others?

I want to make women curious. Curious to know themselves inside out, to find lust without shame and to be able to share such feelings with others. Each and every one will have their very own way to find out. So:

Viva la vulva! Have fun trying out whatever makes you feel good.

Women’s bodies

“A New View of a Woman´s Body”

Book cover of "Frauenkörper neu gesehen"In the 1970s “A New View of a Woman’s Body” had already caused a huge publicity stir both in the US and in the German speaking parts of Europe. Until then, such radical drawings of the female body could not be found or seen anywhere on either side of the Atlantic. The illustrations broke new grounds and paved fresh pathways by showing the clitoris in details thitherto unknown. Running in parallel, school medicine had been enriched by alternative research in the meantime.

In this fully re-worked edition, the revolutionary depiction of the female sexual complex has been brought to completion by deploying diverse methods of self examination and re-surfacing female health questions, such as contraception, Safer Sex, abortion, beauty industries and intimate surgery. One of the newly added chapters focuses on the notions of sexual orientation and gender identities.

This book is a true treasure for its wholistic and detailed micro-perspectives of the female sexual anatomy. A special highpoint is on the context of the female sexual complex and how its parts connect with each other. Any such accounts are sadly missing in traditional studies of anatomy even today, nor are they given in standard medical books or other seemingly “professional” literature.
It’s about time to change this situation, so enjoy this good read!
