WANTING SEX AGAIN

Millions of women suffer from a self-proclaimed low libido and millions more are in a relationship or marriage that is suffering because sex has become a problem. This book is the much-needed, open, warm, expert discussion of how a woman can heighten her libido and improve her relationship.

If you feel like sex just isn’t worth the effort, you’re not alone. Forty million American women are frustrated by their lack of sexual passion. They know something’s missing—and their husbands know it, too—but the emotional, physical, and mental obstacles to healthy desire can be a knot that seems too tangled to unravel. Drawing on twenty years of clinical experience, Laurie Watson shows that it really is possible to restore the thrill of sex, using proven psychological methods and personal accounts from actual therapy sessions. Her strategies will: • Offer a glimpse into the reality of other people’s bedrooms • Address the sexual problems that can develop with life changes—from marriage to motherhood to menopause • Uncover the hidden factors that impact desire—stress, cultural messages, emotional connection, chemical and hormonal challenges, physical appearance issues, and more • Show how joyful, meaningful, satisfying sex can be yours again Candid, practical, and much needed, this book can help you rediscover your sexual self or discover it for the first time. Instead of dreading bedtime, you can look forward to it again.

Laurie Watson is a certified sex therapist and founder of the Awakenings center for sexuality and intimacy.
