WOMAN ON FIRE

Amy Jo Goddard’s WOMAN ON FIRE shows women how to master the nine elements of sexual empowerment to reclaim their desire and live the sexually fulfilling lives they want.

The prevalence of low sexual desire has been shown to range from 26.7% among premenopausal women to 52.4% among naturally menopausal women. That is an enormous segment of women who are frustrated about their lack of desire and who wonder what’s wrong with them. But in WOMAN ON FIRE, Amy Jo shows us that sexuality doesn’t exist in isolation—it is in fact the core longing in us all. The more whole we are as sexual beings, the more fulfilled we are as human beings. And in this accessible, prescriptive book, she shows us how to wake up that sexuality.
This holistic, inside-out approach to sexuality is what Amy Jo calls Sexual Empowerment. Women from 20 to 70 come to her popular workshops wrestling with issues like, “What am I missing?” “I don’t like sex the way everyone else seems to.” “How do I maintain my sexual desire after having kids?” “What’s the secret to keeping my long-term relationship sexual?” “How do I build my sexual confidence?”

In answer, Amy Jo shows us how to master the 9 Elements of a Sexually Empowered Life:
Element 1. VOICE: Revise Your Sexual Story
Element 2. RELEASE: Make Space for Your Sexual Self
Element 3. EMOTION: Show Up as Emotionally Honest
Element 4. BODY: Radically Accept Your Body
Element 5. DESIRE: Create a Sexual Practice
Element 6. PERMISSION: Develop Your Erotic Authenticity
Element 7. PLAY: Hone Sexual Skills
Element 8. HOME: Build Sexual Confidence
Element 9. FIRE: Increase Your Dynamic Sexual Energy

Including stories from the thousands of women she has worked with over the last twenty years, Amy Jo shows us how to get (back) in touch with desire, open up to vulnerability, rediscover play, and even push the boundaries of what we think is acceptable. We will not just have better sex, we will have more pleasure throughout our lives as well as more intimate relationships, whether we have many partners or are deeply involved with one long-term.
