Closing the Pleasure Gap: An Ob-Gyn Explains What Women Want in Bed

Paperback / Hardback

Desire was never meant to be a source of shame . . .

Closing the Pleasure Gapconfronts the quiet devastation of a culture that denies women sexual knowledge, autonomy, and pleasure.

Drawing on medicine, history, and lived experience, the author—a seasoned ob-gyn—reveals how ancient traditions that once honoured female fulfilment were eroded by prudish morality and patriarchal fear. The result is a generation of women who endure intimacy rather than enjoy it, and men who remain unaware of the depth of their partner’s needs.

With clarity and compassion, this book argues that intimacy blooms only when a woman is loved rather than used, when her needs are honoured rather than ignored. It speaks to women reclaiming their bodies and to men willing to learn that pleasure deepens when it is shared.

Honest and unapologetic, this work calls for a society that embraces female sexuality as vital, not shameful.
