7 Steps to Pain-Free Sex: A Complete Self-Help Guide to Overcome Vaginismus, Dyspareunia, Vulvodynia & Other Penetration Disorders

Very useful self help guide if you prefer not to see a physio for these sensitive problems (or can't afford one). You may feel it is not working at first, or aggravates the problem, but stick with it and you will, like I did, hopefully benefit from it.

Very helpfull and informative .When one is in a stressful situation and you find a book to explain every thing it is very good

Good product.

Personally I was disappointed with this book as the treatment plan it lays out is far more suitable for women whose vaginismus is psychological in cause i.e. resulting from anxiety, stress, fear etc. However, if you suffer from a hypertonic pelvic floor due to underlying physical problems such as having tight or shortened muscles and trigger points in your muscle tissues, the treatment plan laid out in Heather Jeffcoat's book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00K7IH67U/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_64 will probably be more useful to you. Good luck!

Very poor quality, with unfinished sentences and incomplete figures. The worst part is the description of the exercises, which is totally unclear, missing steps and using vague terminology ("contract your bones" really?)Asked several female friends to try the exercises, but nobody could make out what the author is talking about.When I started getting back pain I threw it away

First 30 pages or so were informative, after that it was a little 'all over the place' didn't quite understand what to do when it came to the exercising part(s).

I like the book, 7 steps to pain-free sex

Bought for a friend where Amazon doesn't ship and she told me the book helped her a lot. Her English is not so good but she still could understand everything explained there.

Bought for my daughter..

Exercises are a little hard to understand but this has excellent information on the topic.

Considering that this book is supposed to be a practical guide to overcoming vaginismus by using "empowering exercises", I often found the instructions for carrying out the exercises confusing and hard to understand. For example: "Let your breath flow towards the iliac crest". What exactly is the "iliac crest"?? (I had to Google this term as it was introduced in the book without explanation). And what does it mean to get your breath to "flow towards" it given that, as I discovered, the iliac crest is part of the pelvis and in no way related to the respiratory system.The book also has a self-congratulatory tone at times, which I found a bit annoying. I'm prepared to accept that the techniques may indeed be great, in a situation where you are receiving face-to-face instruction and can ask questions to clarify when you don't understand the explanation, but if you are totally reliant on only the written instructions in the book, it was hard going.
