"THE WOMAN LINGER at the waters edge... This is an image of bounty, a view of female physicality in which a woman's hungers are both celebrated and undifferentiated, as though all her appetites are of a piece, the physical and the emotional entwined and given equal weight. Food is love on this landscape, and love is sex, and sex is connection, and connection is food; appetites exist in a full circle, or in a sonata where eating and touching and making and feeling close are all distinct chords that nonetheless meld withand complement one another."

-- exert from the prologue of Appetites : Why Woman Want by Caroline Knapp

I finally was able to find and pick up this book at Barnes And Noble. It's awesome! Definitely recommend it. I haven't even read much yet... its great though. :)
