International Bestseller Co-authored by Rutgers College of Nursing Emerita Faculty Member Beverly Whipple Republished as a Classic

NEWARK, N.J. An international bestseller, The G Spot and Other Discoveries About Human Sexuality, co-authored by a Rutgers College of Nursing emerita faculty member, Beverly Whipple, has been republished as a classic.

The 231-page book, first published in 1982 and translated in 19 languages including French, Spanish, Dutch, Afrikaans and Icelandic, will feature a new forward and updated research, according to Whipple, professor emerita at the College of Nursing at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

The G Spot and Other Discoveries About Human Sexuality, republished by Owl Books, an imprint of Henry Holt & Co., was the first book to provide clinical proof of the existence and location of the Grfenberg spot, the often misunderstood female erogenous zone.

Whipples research focused on womens health issues and the sexual physiology of women.

It is really an honor to have our book republished as a classic, said Whipple, a Medford resident. My goal in conducting research at Rutgers was to validate womens health and womens sensual and sexual experiences that were not accepted by the health care community such as pleasurable orgasmic response in women with spinal cord injury and identifying a natural pain blocking effect that occurs in women during labor.

Whipple is listed in the World Whos Who of Women, International Whos Who in Sexology, Whos Who in American Nursing and in Contemporary Authors.

Whipple is the vice president of the World Association for Sexology, past president of the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists and a past president of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, which recently presented her with its Public Service Award during its 46th annual meeting in Orlando, FL. She is a Fellow of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality and a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing.

From its headquarters at Rutgers Newark, Rutgers College of Nursing offers a broad range of academic programs on all three Rutgers campuses. The college offers a masters program with unique practitioner specialties and the only doctoral (Ph.D) nursing degree in New Jersey.
