This book was everything I hoped it'd be: a comprehensive, frank-talking discussion of the vagina, vulva, and the surrounding plumbing. How it works (and doesn't), the outlook of history, possible diseases and conditions, a breakdown of persistent myths--this book does a great job of taking much-maligned 'dirty' parts and making them fresh without need of some ridiculous April-fresh douche. This is a resource I can see myself referencing in the future. ( )

Discover the truth!

Thank you Goodreads and Kensington Books for the chance to read this book!!

Let me tell you I am a woman in her mid-thirties and there were things in this book that even I didn’t know about or thought one thing or told another and this book says the completely different thing. But also showing the reasons and examples why some of the things we have learned is not exactly right. The book was very educational. Happy reading everyone!! ( )

I think I picked up one new interesting piece of information. This does not include a lot that isn't available elsewhere, however there is a lot of concentrated information, all together and reliable. This is set out more for reference than for reading through.

Lifestyle assumptions are for a different part of the population than mine.

I read the German translation. The translation is fairly smooth. The text has been edited to make it more useful for German readers. ( )

De vaginabijbel. Door Jen Gunter.

Wat een boek, wat een bijbel. Want een bijbel is het echt: dik en onmisbaar, het zou in elk huishouden aanwezig moeten zijn. Pluspunt: Gunter is al bijna 30 jaar gynaecoloog dus je kan er van op aan dat de info in dit boek ook klopt.

In deze bijbel lees je alles over de vulva en vagina en nog zo veel meer. Gunter heeft een missie en die missie is: alle mythes (veelal gecreëerd door het patriarchaat) rondom de vrouwelijke gezondheid de wereld uithelpen. Dit doet ze op een enthousiaste, aanstekelijke, duidelijke, begrijpbare, feministische en vaak humoristische manier.

In de vaginabijbel vind je echt alles dat je moet weten als je een vagina/vulva hebt. Gaande van anatomie en werking over verzorging, veroudering tot ziektes en fabeltjes. Daarnaast geeft ze ook antwoord op vragen over heel uiteenlopende onderwerpen zoals: vaginaal gebruik van cannabis, wasverzachter, een jade-ei, kegeloefeningen, anale penetratie, … Je kan het zo gek niet bedenken of het staat in dit boek.

Dat maakt de vaginabijbel echt tot een onmisbaar naslagwerk. Je hoeft het niet van voor naar achter te lezen. Je kan de delen die je nu al aangaan lezen, je kan op een bepaald onderwerp zoeken en dat deel al lezen; je kiest maar. Eens je dit boek in huis hebt kan je opzoeken wat je maar wil, wanneer je maar wil zodat je juist geïnformeerd zorg kan dragen voor jezelf. En moest er toch eens iets mis gaan, dan kan dit boek je helpen om met de juiste vragen en informatie naar je arts te gaan.

Jen Gunter heeft een missie en die missie ondersteun ik ten volle. Koop dit boek, lees het, deel het. En praat er over. Help elkaar. Door dit boek cadeau te doen aan je dochters, moeders, zussen, nichtjes, buurvrouwen,… Daan Borrel was al fan (lees zeker haar geweldige voorwoord in dit boek), ik ben het ondertussen ook, nu jij nog!

This was a DNF for me. Before I start, look....I'm not a TERF. I think trans women should be included in conversations about women. I believe they are women. However, I can see why TERFS be so mad. In today's world of identity politics victim olympics, trans-women are given much greater consideration than cis-women. Because they have more chips than us, you see. The second chapter in this book is a detailed explanation of trans vaginas. In a book about freaking VAGINAS, we have to talk about the issues that come about when scrotum hair grows inside of a trans vagina :/
I know, I know, this isn't the wokest of opinions. Bite me.
Why would such a niche issue be chapter two, except to pander to the most trendy of woke topics? Trans women make up a much smaller segment of the population than cis women. I'm not mad the chapter was included, but it should have been closer to the end. The fact that we talk about trans vaginas BEFORE cis vaginas is incredibly telling.
And this feminist didn't get the memo. Word on the feminist street is that hymens aren't real. Construction of the patriarchy blah...blah....Yet, she's in here talking about the hymen in great detail. Feminism is having a fucking identity crisis.
I'd love to read a book like this by a conservative woman. I'd like to learn about my own anatomy without all the wokeness shoved down my throat. Conservative women have pussies too. ( )
