I feel that if women are gonna have sex during their lifetime-- and the majority of women are-- then there's no reason that they should walk away from the experience any less satisfied than the man. I hope that by reading my books that women will realize that they're entitled to make demands or ask for certain things sexually, 'cause men do not hesitate.
