Kurzbeschreibung

März 2002
With over twenty years of experience as a sex educator and sex therapist, Dr. Terri Hamilton brings you this detailed look at everything you wanted to know about male and female 'private parts' and didn't even know to ask. In chapters such as "A Hose by Any Other Name" she examines historical and psychological perspectives on genital nomenclature and presents over 500 common - and not so common - nicknames. Dr. Hamilton also peers into a Pandora's Box of sexual scandals, untangles the mystery of pubic hair, tells tales of size and sighs, secrets and secretions, folklore and fertility rituals, and unveils the genital origins of numerous modern day social customs. Tantric teachings, medical mysteries, ecstasies and eccentricities, fashions and foibles all have a place in this meticulously researched compendium. Inside you'll find answers to such provocative questions as:

* What do a woman's facial features reveal about the vagina?
* Why was pubic hair left off classic Greek Statues?
* Who "discovered" the clitoris?
* How many girls are born with a penis each year?
* Where exactly is the most sensitive spot on the penis? (the answer might surprise you)
* What does the "evil eye" have to do with the penis?
* What famous silent screen star was said to possess the "Eighth Wonder of the World"?
* What foods increase blood flow to the penis?
* What is the connection between the upper lip and the clitoris?
* What piece of bridal attire has its origins in the hymen?
* What do cool fingertips reveal about a woman's genital area?

Dr. Hamilton explores the history, development, legends, and myths of human sexuality to provide the revealing answers to these and a host of other questions in this fascinating look at our most private parts.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Who knew there was so MUCH to know??? 6. April 2002
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book is a fun, fast read...although in order to fully appreciate the vast amount of information provided by the witty Dr. Hamilton, one might feel compelled to take each chapter slowly. Still, Skin Flutes & Velvet Gloves is the kind of book a person can flip through - virtually every page contains stuff about our 'private parts' most of us didn't realize and/or never imagined!

Surprisingly, despite the topic, there's nothing gratuitous or smarmy about this book, it's clearly grounded in academia, written in good taste, and presented with authority (frequently laced in humor) - making it a book I'm not embarrassed to be seen with in public...

Well researched, well written, and well worth reading - I highly recommend Skin Flutes & Velvet Gloves to anyone interested in the history of human sexuality, the inner workings of human reproduction, the rationale behind circumcision/ FGM/castration, the role sexual organs play(ed) in religion, silly sex facts...come to think of it, this particular book should appeal to just about anyone in possession of a penis or vagina!

5.0 von 5 Sternen AMAZING & AMUSING...GREAT RESOURCE!!! 12. Februar 2004
Von Ein Kunde - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
my background is not dissimilar to that of dr. hamilton's, and, as such, i am often asked to recommend reading material (by students and clients alike) related to the subject of human sexuality. rarely have i come across something so well-compiled as Skin Flutes & Velvet Gloves. my goodness, the research is nothing short of phenomenal -- allowing the author to fill her pages with rich, full and, i might add, entertaining content.

a number of my students have not only found this book enlightening, but impetus for further study (as least in regard to the broader subject of human sexuality and it's role in psychology/society) especially important is the fact that this particular volume covers both genders--something no other offering in this field can boast.

i readily give "Skin Flutes & Velvet Glove" a 5+ star rating because it supplies a substantial and impressive amount of information in a well-written and amusing fashion. i hope dr. hamilton will continue to impart her unique, intelligent 'voice' upon those of us who find her works so delightful. how nice to read something that is just...so nicely written, so full of wonderful information, and so capable of giving us more than a few laughs along the way!! BRAVO!

5.0 von 5 Sternen How much fun was this? Well, let me tell you... 3. August 2002
Von S. Snell - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the end-all, totally agreeable ...book. A truly fun and informative read. And, if you are like me, with the proverbial mind's eye, that pictures whatever is being digested through the auditory and ocular senses; well then, you'll find this tome better than most big screen movies. But, then again, the illustrations within it are marvelous, as refined and elegant as the literary style.

As previously noted by the other reviewers, Skin Flutes and Velvet Gloves is an entertaining thumb through and equally compelling slow study. So sit back, relax, and open yourself to some new ideas, interesting trivia, and perhaps some erotic day dreaming. Dr. Terri Hamilton did an extraordinary job! I'd like to shake her hand, as well as pick her brain. Indeed, she is a woman who knows her stuff. So, where is the next book?
