The Pleasure Gap

In The Pleasure Gap, Katherine Rowland investigates the disparity in sexual pleasure between men and women, revealing that up to 40 percent of American women experience low sexual desire. Rejecting the notion that this issue stems from biology or stress, Rowland emphasizes the importance of viewing sexual inequality as a serious societal concern. Drawing from extensive research and interviews with women and sexual health professionals, she argues that the pleasure gap is rooted in cultural attitudes towards women's sexual expression, making a compelling case for essential change in this realm.
