The Good Vibrations Guide: The G-Spot
Down There Press authors have been answering that question for twenty-five years From Joani Blank's Good Vibrations "RM" bringing to light the sexual potential of "personal massagers", to Jack Morin's still the-only-one-of-its-kind Anal Pleasure & Health, to Susie Bright's genre-launching Herotica "RM", San Francisco's oldest publisher of award-winning sex-positive books has been breaking boundaries to delight and entertain its readers.Founded in 1975, Down There Press is the nation's first independent publisher devoted exclusively to publishing sexual health books. Founder and Publisher Emerita Joani Blank, then working as a sex educator and counselor, started writing her own books about sexuality at her clients' and other therapists' behest.
The press currently has a list of eighteen sexual self-awareness titles, including innovative and practical non-fiction with non-judgmental techniques for strengthening sexual communication. Down There Press also publishes lively literary and photographic erotica.

This is a thin, concise volume giving basic information about the G-spot. Invaluable.
My one big crituque about this book is that it needs more and better illustrations.
Here's what I wrote about this book in my women's sexuality reading list:
Whether you are already intimate with your G-spot or just beginning your explorations, this book offers lots of tips, answers lots of questions, and lets Good Vibrations customers describe their own G-spot experiences. This book is an excellent resource with chapters such as "All About Ejacultaion;" "Tips, Toys, and Techniques;" and Exploration."
The following is the review I wrote for the Summer 1999 issue of the Minnesota Social Responsibility Round Table Newsletter:
Filled with factual information about the often mysterious female pleasure zone, this slim volume is easy to understand but not condescending.
Customers' comments about their own G-spot experiences are sprinkled throughout, giving he theories a more personal and relevant impact. Notes and references sections facilitate fact checking and additional research. There is also material in fremale ejaculation and tips on "hitting the spot," plus a bibliography, a videography, and information on websites and sex toy companies.
The guide's main weakness is a lack of adequate diagrams of female anatomy. If the one drawing present were larger, it would be easier to discern to which organ each arrow points. Information about Skene's glands, the urethra, and the urethral sponge might be more easily understood if these structures appeared in the anatomy diagram. An index would also be helful, even in such a short book.
Despiet these flaws, this manual should be part of every library dealing with female sexuality. While candidly demystifying hte G-spot, it recognizes that some women don't enjoy or respond to its stimulation. Readers are reminded that sex should be fun and to "beware of absolutes."
Whether one has made extensive G-spot exploration or none at all, this how-to book can only lead to a better understanding of female sexual response.
