About What's Up Down There?: Questions You'd Only Ask
About the Author Lissa Rankin, M.D. is a practicing gynecologist and the founder of The Owning Pink Center in Mill Valley, CA, which is dedicated to redefining what it means to be healthy, vibrant and alive as a woman in the Twenty-first century. She is the author of What's Up Down There? Questions You'd Only Ask Your Gynecologist If She Was Your Best Friend. Product Description In this funny, outrageous and empowering book, Dr. Lissa Rankin answers all the secret gynecological questions that most women wonder about, but have always been afraid to ask. Suppose you had a wise, warm, funny best friend-who just happened to be a gynecologist. You're out with the girls for cocktails and the conversation turns to sex, and then to girly parts. One by one, you start asking her all the questions you've secretly wondered about-and discover that you have a lot in common. If you were to write those questions down, then you'd have What's Up Down There?, a life-changing little book that answers: - Do old ladies have saggy vaginas? - How do male gynecologists have a sex life without feeling like they're stuck at the office? - Is it normal for your inner labia to hang out of your outer labia? - Can the baby feel its mom having sex during pregnancy? - How common is it for one's boobs to be two totally different sizes? And so much more! As outrageously funny as it is empowering, this book reveals how to love yourself and your body-and will have you recommending it to every woman you know. From off-the wall sex questions to serious topics of women's sexual health, What's Up Down There? provides answers to women of all ages and stages. From Booklist Written entirely in Q&A form, this ob/gyn guide is alarmingly frank. (One question: “Does having anal sex give you a stretched out butthole and make it so you can’t hold in your farts and poop?”) The subtitle says the book answers questions a best friend would tackle if she were (or “was,” as the grammatically incorrect wording says) a gynecologist. But would most readers really talk to pals about such things? Rankin tries to sound chatty, but chapter titles such as “pee” and “butts” simply come across as unprofessional. She litters the book with expressions such as “va jay jay” (instead of vagina), “boobs” (instead of breasts), and “the big O” (instead of “orgasm”). Some readers may want to know about the author’s sex life, but others may find it off-putting. (She “chats” with her vagina, which she calls her “yoni”—Sanskrit for “source of life.”) Still, the book does give good medical information, and surprisingly, the well-respected Christiane Northrup, MD, author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (1994), writes a glowing foreword. Just don’t whip this book out on a crowded train. --Karen Springen Review “Imagine sitting next to a warm, charming, funny gynecologist on a seven-hour flight where they're handing out free cocktails. Reading What's Up Down There is that sort of experience: delightful, giddy, memorable and illuminating. What a wonderful book.” ―Mary Roach, New York Times bestselling author of Stiff and Bonk “Once in a generation there's a book like no other. You're holding it in your hand. Buy it. Bet you'll love it. Bet you'll read it more than once. Bet you laugh and cry each time you do” ―Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, bestselling author of Kitchen Table Wisdom “Lissa Rankin is a sassy, brilliant, articulate, funny, fun, loving genius. Every woman must read this NOW.” ―Regena Thomashauer, author of Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts “Dr. Lissa Rankin provides answers to the questions every woman always wants to ask her doctor--and some that they've never thought to ask, but should. Best of all, she does it with both humor and style.” ―John Gray, New York Times bestselling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus “Dr. Lissa Rankin is a woman's health visionary, and What's Up Down There? is just what every woman needs: a gynecologist girlfriend who answers the kinds of qu
