Photograph: Jim Spellman\/WireImage<\/p><\/div>\n<p>By now we all know that Naomi Wolf has mind-blowing orgasms. I must say globally this has been a concern. Was this woman getting enough? Yes, oh yes, she has got a book&#8217;s worth. I\u00a0read Vagina: A New Biography in a bar while feasting on some very fine cuts of meat, so I am not just judging it by the extracts, ie the\u00a0insane pasta party\u00a0where &#8220;Alan&#8221;, a supposed friend, served her &#8220;cuntini&#8221;. This trauma upset her for six months. Someone give her a hotdog quick to spare us more of this existential despair.<\/p>\n<p>See, my mind is already blown, but clearly not as much as super-sensitive Wolf&#8217;s. I am sorry that she had a back injury which meant that a pelvic nerve was compressed. It has been sorted now and she is coming like a train in full Technicolor transcendental goddessy ecstasy. Phew! But this being Naomi Wolf, she feels this profound vagina\/brain connection has been overlooked by everyone else.<\/p>\n<p>Read it in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2012\/sep\/05\/naomi-wolf-book-vagina-feminism\">the Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":53236,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,3402],"tags":[4429,4428,4431,4430,4425,4426,4427],"class_list":["post-53235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-editors-choice","tag-chemistry-gcse-but-has-two-ted-talks","tag-climaxes-orgasms-sex","tag-feminism-and-sex","tag-mediated-form-of-narcissism","tag-naomi-wolfs-book-vagina","tag-self-help-marketed-as-feminism","tag-why-women-are-so-sexually-unhappy"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Naomi Wolf&#039;s Book Vagina: Self-Help Marketed As Feminism - Colombo Telegraph<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Naomi Wolf&#039;s Book Vagina: Self-Help Marketed As Feminism - Colombo Telegraph\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"[&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Colombo Telegraph\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-09-06T20:26:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2012-09-12T10:28:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Naomi-Wolf-010.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"460\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"276\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"COLOMBO TELEGRAPH\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"COLOMBO TELEGRAPH\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/\",\"name\":\"Naomi Wolf's Book Vagina: Self-Help Marketed As Feminism - Colombo Telegraph\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Naomi-Wolf-010.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-09-06T20:26:58+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2012-09-12T10:28:39+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/#\/schema\/person\/9db3d0cfcfa59e1997e3c3524d454cb3\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/naomi-wolfs-book-vagina-self-help-marketed-as-feminism\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Naomi-Wolf-010.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/Naomi-Wolf-010.jpg\",\"width\":\"460\",\"height\":\"276\",\"caption\":\"Naomi Wolf: 'mindblowing'.
