vaginal space. In other words, when engorged with blood from well-dilated vessels, the arm-like clitoral
corpus cavernosa
tissues reach around the vagina like a snug hug.
At the same time, the brain’s arousing messages trigger the vaginal walls to lubricate. Where does this lascivious lube come from? Blood flow. Vessels carrying blood to the vaginal walls literally seep plasma through the vessel walls, creating friction-free vaginal lubrication. This critical blood flow can only be ensured by a plant-strong, meat-free diet.
Blood flow aside, I would think that some of this woman’s sexual behavior may well stem from her weight loss and empowerment now that she feels better about who she is and how she appears to herself and others. Body image is a big deal when it comes to sexuality. If you feel good in your body, you feel comfortable being sexual with your partner.
If you do not feel comfortable with your sexual self, you can create barriers. Some people tend to judge themselves in a critical way during a sexual experience. This behavior, identified by sex researchers Masters and Johnson decades ago, is called “spectatoring.” It’s as if one is a critical audience of oneself. This behavior prevents the mind from “getting into it.” The brain has to send signals from up above in order for things to get flowing down below, and without the blood flowing, tissues engorging, cuffing outside of and lubricating within the vagina, the encounter is not going to feel like a positive, healthy, sexual experience.
So eliminate spectatoring and delight in what your body can do. Eating plant-strong will make you feel great within your body, and you’ll be bombarded with compliments on your fine new plant-strong figure. All of which allows blood to flow full steam ahead!
And they say broccoli isn’t sexy!

It’s Never Too Late to Start a Plant-Based Diet
I first met eighty-year-old Darrell Williams when he wrote me a letter after one of his friends heard me speak to a Boy Scout troop. I thought Darrell would enjoy my plant-strong message, so not long afterward he and I drove to Southwest Texas State University, where I spoke to a hundred college students. Along the way Darrell told me his story.
For most of his life, Darrell knew and cared little about nutrition, even though he taught physical education at the University of Texas. He ate the average American diet: pizzas, burgers, dairy, and processed foods. His weight ballooned from 163 in college to about 230 by the time he was age sixty. He never felt well, suffering from ulcerated colitis, elevated blood pressure, severe allergies, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, kidney stones, and severe backaches.
Then, in his late sixties, Darrell saw a doctor who suggested he stop eating dairy. He did, and the allergies disappeared. Darrell became more interested in the relationship between diet and health, eventually reading many books on the subject. That’s when he looked me up.
Today Darrell eats the Engine 2 way: fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains. His weight is down to 170. His blood pressure is excellent. He no longer suffers from all his ailments. He feels great, but the best part, he says, is actually what he
doesn’t
feel anymore: the aches, the pains, and the cramps. “All my life I felt like my body was getting in my way. Now, it feels invisible—it’s never in my way.”
Darrell is a true Renaissance man who not only has done a 180 with his diet, but also has taught himself how to play the piano and guitar, and he is an avid reader on all topics. Darrell’s zest for living is the howand why behind the change he made in his diet and lifestyle. And it is also why he has become one of Jill’s and my closest friends and a surrogate grandfather to our kids!
Darrell also proves that it’s never too late to start a plant-based lifestyle! A rich diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can even reverse the onset of chronic diseases like
