The Real Sex Kitten’s Handbook by Val Sampson
Visit any bookshop these days and you’ll find almost as many sex books as there are positions in the Kama Sutra. ‘The Real Sex Kitten’s Handbook’ is fundamentally different from them all. Written by respected health and relationship journalist Val Sampson, this is a book about sex from a female perspective. Rather than re-working the usual narrow interpretation of sex, laced with basic details of how to give a blowjob and tips on vibrators, it discusses a woman’s need for intimacy and sensuality – a subject barely mentioned elsewhere. Being a sex kitten is about playfulness, a sense of adventure and a commitment to fun and pleasure. A sex kitten knows more than how to turn on a man – she knows how her own sexuality works too.

Why Gender Matters by Leonard Sax
Are boys and girls really that different? Twenty years ago, doctors and researchers didn’t think so. Back then, most experts believed that differences in how girls and boys behave are mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. An avalanche of research over the past twenty years has shown that sex differences are more significant and profound than anybody guessed. Sex differences are real, biologically programmed, and important to how children are raised, disciplined, and educated. In Why Gender Matters, psychologist and family physician Dr. Leonard Sax leads parents through the mystifying world of gender differences by explaining the biologically diffe
