Summary of The Vagina Bible 

4.7 . 2163 reviews

Short summary

How many things do you know about the vagina? How many of those things are proven, or have you simply heard them from a friend? The vagina is shrouded in myths and mystery, making it hard for a woman to understand her anatomy. How can you expect to enjoy a healthy sex life if you don’t know your body well? Far too many ideas about the vagina have been pushed on women from the old patriarchal society, but Dr. Jen Gunter is here to debunk the myths. When it comes to learning the truth about your vagina, The Vagina Bible is the place to go. Dr. Gunter is an obstetrician and gynecologist with almost 30 years of experience and the popular host of the CBC show, Jensplaining. She also has a regular column with the New York Times. “I have a vagenda: for every woman to be empowered with accurate information about the vagina and vulva.” ~ Dr. Jen Gunter

A lack of reliable information pushes women into believing false ideas

There are two schools of thought when discussing the vagina — you either don’t talk about it because it’s considered dirty and therefore out of bounds, or you recount old wives’ tales and stories you’ve seen online.

The truth is, not many women understand their vaginas. Not properly looking after something because you don't understand it is a big problem, especially when it’s a part of the body responsible for sexual enjoyment. If you didn’t, how could you have a great sex life?

It can be hard to know what to believe and ignore, and so much of what we see on social media is unregulated — anyone could tell you they’re an expert, and you wouldn’t know otherwise. Sensationalized hacks circulate and go viral, with no proof to back them up.

Throughout history, there has been an obsession with vaginal purity, which dates back to when virginity was used as a yardstick to measure a woman’s worth. We’re thankfully past those days, but so much of what we think we know about the vagina is influenced by the first physicians — all men.

Dr. Jen Gunter wants to throw all those ideas out of the window and help you appreciate your vagina. But first, you need to understand your anatomy.

Many people don’t know the difference between the vulva and vagina. The vulva is the outer part that you can see in the mirror. It looks after the opening of the vagina and keeps everything inside clean. What most women don’t realize is that the vulva is capable of giving sexual pleasure.
The vulva contains the mons, labia majora and minora, clitoris and hood, vestibule, perineum, and urethral opening.
On the other hand, the vagina is the part inside the body. For many years, the opening of the vagina was talked about because of the hymen. This thin covering can break with first-time sex or other activities like horseback riding. The hymen was once thought to be an indicator of virginity, but thankfully we now know that’s not the case.

In this summary, you will learn more about the vagina and see plenty of myths debunked for good. If you want to know more about your most private parts, dive into the following chapters.
second key point

Female sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of

Even today, we’re judged by certain parts of society when we talk openly about female sexuality. The patriarchy tells girls from a very young age that they should hide their bodies and that their vagina is dirty and not to be talked about.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
