The Vagina Bible is written for all women, but should also be read by men, and has special relevance for health care providers, the media, and celebrities promoting ‘wellness products.’ It is truly a one-stop shop for the latest science and facts about the vagina and vulva.
Julie S. Lalonde, advocate and public educator, hosts a conversation with OB/GYN, women’s health advocate and New York Times columnist Dr. Jen Gunter. Her new book, The Vagina Bible, is a comprehensive, accessible antidote to the maelstrom of misinformation around female sexual health, and the ultimate guide to everything a person needs to know about the vagina and vulva.
We are well into the twenty-first century and have access to more information than ever before, yet many people don’t know that a vagina is self-cleaning, condoms should be used with a lubricant, eating sugar doesn’t cause a yeast infection, and sex shouldn’t be painful.
As a physician with twenty-five years of clinical experience, Dr. Jen Gunter is all too familiar with the fears, fallacies and misinformation that abound about vaginal health. On Twitter, she hilariously exposes unscientific wellness advice and debunks potentially harmful and stunningly unnecessary products from “vagina profiteers.” Dr. Gunter knows the questions women (and men) have about female sexual health, and in The Vagina Bible, she answers them all.
