The Hot Woman's Handbook

The CAKE Guide to Female Sexual Pleasure

About The Book

Want to explore your sexual fantasies?

Tired of having sex without an orgasm?

Searching for the perfect vibrator?


YES, YES, and YES. Enter The Hot Woman's Handbook, the ultimate sexuality primer for a new generation of young women who are turned on and getting off. Written by expert authors Melinda Gallagher and Emily Scarlet Kramer -- founders of CAKE, a women's sexuality enterprise with locations in New York, London, and San Francisco -- The Hot Woman's Handbook is the first of its kind to provide the why-to along with the how-to. Through extensive research and interviews, Gallagher and Kramer have uncovered a world of female sexual pleasure that's accessible to us all. Alongside inspirational and instructional material are the detailed biology and history lessons never quite covered in high school. Steamy fantasies and anecdotes from real women help put readers in the mood to try out stimulating scenarios and tantalizing tips. Praised as the "authoritative voice on modern female sexuality" (Kirkus Reviews), The Hot Woman's Handbook encourages today's woman to speak up and ask for what she wants, increasing her overall confidence and pleasure as a result.
