The Mirror within: New Look at Sexuality (Quartet Original)

Customer Reviews

Very good, but a little dated - By: David McKee, 14 Feb 2003
This book was published in the mid '80s, based on much earlier material. It shows. The description of women resembles more the overwrought females of an Ibsen play than the vast majority of women today. Even the depiction of men was a gross distortion for its day, let alone now. New problems, such as easy divorce, & single motherhood as a lifestyle choice, are not covered at alll. So is this book overdue for honourable retirement?
Not a bit of it! The advice Anne Dickson gives to women to alllow themselves to have a full & satisfying sexlife is absolutely spot-on. Even the advice I got from it (as a mere man) was terrific - learning to ask my wife what & how she feels during lovemaking, & the importance of friendships.
Anne Dickson's writing style is good, so her book is an easy read. The exercises she recommends to her female readership look tailor-made to reinforce the points she is trying to get across.
If Ms. Dickson updates the book to reflect society today, it will deserve five stars.
