Pussypedia: A Comprehensive Guide

Definitely more of a 4.5.

I didn't know Pussypedia was a website that exists but when I saw this book as one of the options of books available for request sent to me by the publisher, I couldn't resist at all. And I'm so glad I did because I breezed through this in just a couple of days.

Firstly, I've been reading quite a bit of literature regarding women's health, motherhood etc in general because I'm pregnant and in a weird mood, so this book was a logical choice to pick up. And considering that how much less concrete well researched information there is, particularly about issues like menstruation or women's pleasure or endometriosis etc, this book is an excellent one stop initial guide to many of the concerns that any person with a vagina and other related body parts can have. It's funny, feels like someone having a very friendly chat with you, is full of colorful graphic illustrations of said intimate body parts (some of which are in pretty good detail and I haven't ever seen before) and has many many resources listed where we can go further information, interviews with medical experts and recommendations of many books that have been trying to bring this information to light in the past few decades.

I thoroughly loved this book - definitely some topics more than others. I probably would have loved a bit more detail about pregnancy, but that's probably my feeling due to my current condition, but I definitely think atleast a couple of pages about Caesarian section would have been good information. I do really appreciate the authors for mentioning right at the beginning that this book is going to be inclusive, and mentioning specific transgender healthcare resources wherever applicable. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out some of the websites and books mentioned in here. And I have a feeling that this is a book I might keep around always on my bookshelf and pick up whenever I immediately need to look up something. Very helpful, especially in terms of getting started to know the information before we dive into more deeper research.
