title: When Sex Hurts: A Woman's Guide to Banishing Sexual Pain
author:  Andrew Goldstein 
description: Two physicians and one psychologist skillfully tackle a touchy topic and present a complete overview of pain-causing conditions suffered by women, from skin disorders and hormonal changes to inflammation of the lining of the bladder, sexually transmitted diseases, and yeast infections. Its enough to make a gal swear off sex. The authors give helpful, straightforward advice thats often easy to follow. For example, they recommend unscented toilet paper for contact dermatitis. They also give some good basic ob/gyn information, such as that the clitoris is basically a female penis. One quibble: there isnt enough information about sources. Its hard to believe, for example, that more than 20 million American women alone will experience painful sex in their lifetime. If thats true, though, this informative book should fly off the shelves. --Karen Springen
