"The first celebratory, supportive, nuts and bolts guide to female masturbation in over a decade, Getting Off is a welcome addition to anyone's sexual library. Sex educator and writer Jamye Waxman is as informed as she is exuberant about the subject, and her friendly style is accessible to nervous beginners and old pros alike. I particularly appreciated that she isn't afraid to offer detailed, step-by-step technique advice, since this is precisely what many women need to start their exploration. Getting Off also covers the history and psychology of masturbation and documents its slow foray into mainstream culture." - Cory Silverberg, about.com
