1: Sexuality is as much part of our Venusian being as love
Everyone is chasing Venusian goodies, love, money, charm, beauty .. I was truly thankful that Jalaja reminded us about something just as important: our sexuality. The openness and honesty of these stories made this book an intimate experience for me.

3: FIVE STARS PLUS[!]
This book is so empowering!... I highly recommend it to every woman regardless of age, faith, or sexual orientation. I read this book slowly, one chapter a day, in order to fully absorb and appreciate each and every word. Each chapter takes you on a new journey and touches your soul unlike any book I've ever read. From the moment I started reading, the book itself, came alive right in my hands. It is full of energy, wisdom, grief, and love. I am now more in touch with my inner goddess than ever before! As one of the other reviewers suggested.... don't loan it out[!] ;)

4: Aphrodite's Daughters
In the introduction of this book Jalaja Bonheim tells the incredible story of her journey through India and her discovery of the history of Indian dance.I continued to read the book and suddenly I could not put it down. She tells the sexual stories of many women: pregnancy, rape, incest, bisexuality, marriage, relationships, polyamory, passionate monogamy etc. Jalaja writes about different women's experiences and doesn't try to push her opinions onto the reader. While reading the stories you can explore your own sexuality, and what it means to you personally. Jalaja's insights were incredible, and changed my life (at a time when I really needed a deeper understanding of sexual abuse and intimacy). This has become one of my favorite books on women's sexuality, and it probably always will be.

5: With _Aphrodite's Daughters_, the personal is mythical
This book is completely amazing. Bonheim interviews "ordinary" women about the connections they perceive between sex and the divine in their lives, and explores the themes of their stories using myths and philosophy from around the world.
It's easy to read, moving, and inspiring. I couldn't put it down. Without a doubt the best book I've read in the past year, and I've read a lot! I can't recommend it highly enough.A must-read for any sexual woman on the spiritual path!
