"At last, the torch has been passed! Paula Kamen follows women's struggle for sexual pleasure and self-affirmation into a new generation-- and finds it healthier and more vibrant than ever. Young women will be fascinated by HER WAY. Older ones will be amazed."
-Barbara Ehrenreich
“At last, a book about young women’s sexual behavior that’s actually written by a young woman! Paula Kamen documents women’s sexual truths without judgement – and more important – without all the wrongheaded, double-standard- laden assumptions that all too often plague writing on this topic. Kamen brings the focus back where it should be: on women’s own views, rather than others’ views of them.”
