My Broken Vagina
One Woman's Journey to Solve Sex
Description:... "Imagine if every time you tried to have sex, all you experienced was pain. Extreme pain. Everyone's told you that it's supposed to hurt the first time, but surely this feeling of excruciating agony can't be normal. This is an experienced shared by almost half of all women at some point during their lives. My Broken Vagina is one woman's quest to fix her sex life, but it's the story of millions of women everywhere. During her journey towards building a better relationship with her genitals, Fran been given many pieces of advice. Doctors have advised her to 'have a glass of wine to loosen up'; male friends have suggested she simply hasn't 'tried' the right penis yet; partners inevitably felt it was a reflection of their sexual prowess. But none of that was helpful. Eventually, Fran was told that her symptoms; difficulty orgasming, pain during sex, and general dissatisfaction with the whole thing, came under the umbrella diagnosis of 'Female Sexual Dysfunction' (the sexiest of all the dysfunctions). And so began the process of figuring out how she felt about the term FSD, and finally having a label, if an imperfect one, that made her feel like she wasn't, for once, being gaslit by her own vagina."--Publisher's description
