Summary Of She Comes First By Ian Kerner

Great Essays
I read the book titled “She Comes First” which was published in 2004 by Ian Kerner, who is a sex therapist. In his book, Kerner discusses about how to pleasure a woman, mainly through oral sex. He gives the readers helpful tips and advice on how to fulfill a woman’s sexual needs and also talks about how the clitoris is so important to the success of the female orgasm. This informational book is split up into three parts with each part on a different focus. The book is very educational and will help enhance people’s sexual experiences. In the first section of the book, it talks about the scientific aspect of sex. Kerner educates us on female sexual anatomy, history of research that was conducted by researchers, such as Aristotle, Sigmund Freud, …show more content…
It even tells us in the subtitle of the book, which is “the thinking man’s guide to pleasuring a woman”. In the book, Kerner states that “...the book was primarily written for those guys of the world who crave for knowledge to become better, more sensitive lovers, and for the women in their lives who are eager to benefit from their education. In the introduction of the book, he says that he wrote this book for other men because he wanted to share his learning experiences with sex and cunnilingus. Before “discovering” cunnilingus, he called himself a premature ejaculator and pleasuring a woman with penis was hard because he would ejaculate in 2.5 minutes. Then he found that if he couldn’t satisfy a woman with his penis, then he would be able to do it with his mouth and tongue. Like most other men, Ian Kerner was not the best at performing sexual acts in first time. But with trial and error, he was able to improve his sexual experience and his partner’s experience. Another reason he wrote this book primarily for men because he wanted to give men accurate information on how to pleasure a woman. In his research, he concluded that men are not as knowledgeable about sexuality and received most of their education on sex through pornography, which displays inaccurate information and visuals about how sex is supposed to

    Flannery O’Connor produced a short story—one that almost allows the reader to have free admission into their own objective thoughts—titled “The Lame Shall Enter First” (1965). However, the 3rd person narration is interrupted an unsettling number of times by one of the main character’s biases; O’Connor cannot help but include Sheppard’s own thoughts and feelings throughout the tale. In these instances, the opportunity is lost for the reader to draw their own conclusions on the narrative’s events. The text allows for this to happen both through what Sheppard articulates and with the addition of free indirect discourse (free indirect discourse refers to a transition from background information in a story into the thoughts of a character). Sheppard…
