I bought Your Guy's Guide to Gynecology as a present for a male friend. His wife was about to have surgery for an ovarian cyst. As I began the gift wrapping, I thought I might glance at a section or two myself. Three hours later, I had read every page. The authors have covered all the most up-to-date info on female gynecology written in an easy to read, understandable style. As women we think we know all about our female reproductive systems and the problems that might happen but to be honest, it's usually hearsay or misinformation from the media. I immediately bought a copy for all the females in my family: daughter, daughters in law, nieces, etc. I have even reviewed Dr. Bekkar's and Dr. Wahn's book with my Book Club. This well presented book may have been written to enlighten men but I feel it is a MUST for women.
Buy this for the guy in your life and for YOU too!

Dr. Bruce Bekkars' book Your Guy's Guide to Gynecology is great reading for any and all guys. It is very good for women; Dr. Bruce gives us all the ABCs of how our bodies work and how to take care of our reproductive health. As the editor and creator of the nationally known web site and online perimenopause/menopause web site HotFlash! I talk with hundreds of men and women every week who ask for help in this extarordinary area of women's health.Your Guy's to Gynecology works to clear up the muddy waters of misunderstanding surrounding men in the area of women's reproductive health. Through my online interview with Dr. Bruce I was able to see how well he helps men and women get along better using his book. Dr. Bruce has worked for years to help men understand how women's health affects them and the men in their lives.Dr. Bekkars' book not only helps men get up to speed about what the women in their lives are going through, but offers them real and simple steps to help them through many of their changes like pregnancy, menopause and even describes things like a Pap smear. This is all done with with humor and fun. This book not only educates men and women about biolgy, it strongly fosters open and easy communication between the sexes. Yes, men are from Mars and women are from Venus but we can still live well together and Dr. Bekkar does a terrific job of making this happen!
What I thought I knew

What's most amazing about this book is what you think you knowabout women's sexual organs and functions verses what you will knowafter reading it. I started the book one Saturday morning and couldn't put it down until I was finished. Stunned by my ignorance to what I thought was fact, but so glowing in what I had learned, I could not wait to tell my wife. If you are at all interested in understanding and improving intimancy in your relationships ...read this book. It's fun, with easy to understand terminolgy and concepts!
Instructive and Humorous

I had the pleasure of getting an early copy of this very informative book that covers the female body structure, function, health and disease in a manner that is not only humorous but so very easy to read for the average male (female). As the father of four grown children I can see the benefits of this type of book for a growing family. I found very interesting the exercise on having several male participants draw what they believe to be the shape of the female reproductive system. What came back as response surely belongs to a race on another planet. Funny and instructive. Definitely worth the read.
Great source of information and Comfort for both of us!

This book provides us a common language for discussing female problems that effect us both. When my girlfriend was having a menstral problem, reading this book helped us to understand what was going on. Another time she wanted to talk about the pill, and this was the first time I was comfortable discussing birth control with a woman. She likes reading the book too because it provides practical information without being too serious. It's actually fun to read. We both love this book.
