INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AARP.org Books to Improve Your Love LifeWhy is it so hard to talk about sex, even with the person who regularly sees you naked? You know communication is important in a relationship, but you just don’t know how to get started with such a sensitive subject. Maybe you’ve never talked about sex at all, and the thought of it makes your palms sweat. Or you’re feeling so disconnected from your partner that sex is the last thing on your mind. Maybe you’re too scared to be honest about what you really want. Or you have no freaking clue what you want, so you’re not sure how to tell your partner anything helpful! Sex Talks “helps us overcome the myths that drag us down” (John Gottman, New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work). Together, sex therapist Vanessa Marin and her husband, Xander, show you that the best thing you can do for your sex life doesn’t even involve taking off your clothes.

Connection: a.k.a. “What do we need to feel connected to each other?” 3. Desire: a.k.a. “What do we each need to get turned on?” 4. Pleasure: a.k.a. “What do we each need to feel good?” 5. Exploration: a.k.a. “What should we try next?” With gripping storytelling and an intimate peek at what really goes on behind other couples’ closed bedroom doors, Vanessa and Xander share their successful advice that has already helped thousands of clients. Sex Talks “redefines what it means to have great sex” (Logan Ury, author of How to Not Die Alone), providing the sex education you wish you’d had, plus the tried-and-tested tools you need to create the sex life of your wildest dreams.

HarperCollins Publishers Inc Sex with Shakespeare
Book SynopsisA provocative, moving, kinky, and often absurdly funny memoir about Shakespeare, love, obsession, and spankingWhen it came to understanding love, a teenage Jillian Keenan had nothing to guide her—until a production of The Tempest sent Shakespeare’s language flowing through her blood for the first time.Trade Review"An English major's dream!...You may have studied Shakespeare in high school, but it's almost guaranteed that your literary analysis wasn't anything like this...The connection to Shakespeare is a fascinating foil for Keenan's life...[Her] writing is clear, relatable, and steady, even when conveying painful events in her past." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Visceral, funny, and perceptive, this startling and very personal take on Shakespeare is genuinely revealing-not only about the author, but even more about the plays. Keenan notices and responds to things that criticism on the whole ignores. An enjoyable and impressive book." -- Stephen Orgel, Ph.D., Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor in Humanities at Stanford University and author of Imagining Shakespeare "Moving and funny...Keenan's original takes on Shakespeare are just as fascinating and insightful as her takes on sex, lust, and love. Fans (kinky or not) of Shakespeare will love reading this book, and anyone directing Shakespeare should be required to read it." -- Dan Savage, columnist, "Savage Love," and author most recently of American Savage "Explicit and often harrowing...Keenan writes, she says, so others like her will not have to feel alone...By demonstrating the elasticity with which sexual undertones in Shakespeare can be read, she makes a case for a more expansive definition of sexual identity." -- Booklist "Keenan's excellent writing and humor make this a book enjoyable for fetishists and vanillas alike- especially if you like Shakespeare... A powerful tool in the growing arsenal of identity acceptance...This is an important book to have been written and to be read." -- AVclub.com "Keenan's intimate conversations with Shakespeare offer new and often startling insights into his plays. They are also deeply moving, and deeply courageous, challenging us to rethink sexuality in fundamental ways." -- Ania Loomba, Ph.D., Catherine Bryson Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania, and author of Shakespeare, Race, and Colonialism "Keenan serves up a smart, sexy cocktail of a memoir that is one part spanking fetish, another part Shakespeare, and goes down like a dirty martini that leaves the reader both shaken and stirred." -- Ian Kerner, Ph.D., author of She Comes First "A raunchy memoir revealing a visceral connection to the Bard." -- Kirkus "Jillian Keenan reveals how the revered playwright helped her come to terms with her sexual identity. Full of humor, her memoir explores the lessons she learned from the Bard, ranging from fetish to communication to love." -- Bustle.com "Insightful and refreshing...Keenan's mix of fearless and emotionally resonant personal revelations, cheeky (no pun intended) good humor, and deep literary knowledge make Sex with Shakespeare highly original and engaging." -- Karla Kane, Bitch Media "Shakespeare may seem like an unusual focus for a memoir about kink and sexual identity, but those who've really read his plays know they're full to the brim with raunch and innuendo...So Sex with Shakespeare makes perfect sense." -- Daily News "Honest as a diary, provocative as a dirty magazine...Keenan relates her struggles seamlessly to the ones faced by some of the Bard's most famous characters. This book is her journey to self-acceptance." -- Quartz.com "Funny and insightful...In Keenan's treatment of Shakespeare's plays, they become instruments of self-knowledge... By juxtaposing the plays and kink, Keenan frames sexual behaviour as performance- a performance that can be as much about language as about the body." -- National Post (Canada) "A true Shakespeare lover and connoisseur... [Keenan] interweaves her own personal experiences with plot lines from the Bard's works, creatively building tension and intrigue... Her perspective is provocative and fascinating." -- Bustle.com "If you: have ever been either bewitched or bewildered by Shakespeare's work...or are merely curious about sexuality; or enjoy personal essay as well as magical realism and literary criticism, then Jillian Keenan's Sex with Shakespeare is for you... a memoir that cannot be described with that label alone." -- Refinery 29 "Keenan is at her most confident. Her prose soars with a clarity of vision and purpose... Keenan writes a story of language and lust, and the pain of trying to get to that thing you want but you can't quite put into words." -- The New Republic "You'll laugh, you'll blush, and you'll never see Shakespeare quite the same way again-and we're pretty sure you'll also fall in love with Keenan's candor and wit...this is the perfect way to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death." -- Bookish "Part examination of BDSM in Shakespeare (you'll rethink what you think you know about The Taming of the Shrew, I tell you what), part memoir of a woman whose sexuality is under-or-misrepresented in mainstream media. I was so fascinated, I read it in one sitting." -- Book Riot "If ever there was an ideal spanking ambassador for the kink-curious mainstream, it's Keenan... Writing publicly about something that most people don't dare to acknowledge even privately... is difficult and generous... What shines through is the story of a young woman looking to be made whole by love." -- New York Times "A rollicking memoir...[including] daring readings of Shakespeare, a lot of kink, and many, many laugh-out-loud funny moments...But along the way, Keenan also talks about more somber topics-including, centrally, child abuse...a highly charged issue, and one that Keenan is passionate about." -- The Establishment "Jillian Keenan's two obsessions: spanking and Shakespeare. You may think those two don't go together, but Keenan weaves them together to bring us a story about discovering your truest desires and what happens when you try to hide them." -- Popsugar.com "Keenan's memoir is an intellectual exploration of Shakespeare frosted with playful humor. It's the perfect vacation book: sexy, thrilling and insightful...a sublime summer beach read for anyone who enjoys smart writing about love, travel and sex." -- Mic.com

Book SynopsisGrow your relationship through conversations that make a difference.New York Times bestselling author Susan Scott guides couples through eight must-have conversations to create a fierce love that stands the test of time and grows stronger over the years.Often in our romantic relationships, we long for deep connection, but we don''t know how to communicate well and sometimes withhold what we''re really thinking and feeling. This can lead to fighting, resentment, or, worse, complacency--where you are just going through the motions, more like roommates than two people in love. As Susan writes, It''s as if we''ve pulled off our own wings. As couples, we don''t stop to think how important our conversations are.

This title provides insight and instruction about the reality of quick-fix solutions, sexuality, personal growth, and meaningful relationships.Trade ReviewMorgentaler, a practicing urologist and a professor at Harvard Medical School who has done research on erectile dysfunction, wants to explode the "notion of Viagra as an automatic solution, as the quick fix to all sexual problems." He has no problems with the millions of prescriptions of Viagra that doctors have make since the drug was introduced in 1998. But he is effective at presenting facts that are not so well known, such as that the drug works in 80% of men with performance anxiety but only two-thirds of men with other types of erectile dysfunction. What he does best, however, is to demonstrate how "a firm erection cannot solve deeper problems." Each chapter describes a situation in which a patient who thought that Viagra was the answer to his problems finds that there are other explanations. In one, a man learns that his performance problems have to do with the lack of trust he and his partner share; in another, a man who thinks that Viagra will make his sexual performance last the right time learns that "studies have shown that humans average only a minute and a half for the sexual encounters." Short bullet-point summaries of important information at the end of each chapter and an excellent section of "Frequently Asked Questions About Viagra" help make this book an important resource for both physicians and patients who are contemplating prescribing or using the drug, but who may be doing so for all the wrong reasons. (Oct.) (Piblishers Weekly, August 18, 2003) "...reveals for the first time the drug's popularity is waning as it leaves a trail of broken relationships and shattered expectations in its wake." (The Independent, 27 August 2003) "...warns that the drug may be killing passion rather than igniting it." (The New Zealand Herald, 28 August 2003) "...argues that the drug's side effects are not so much medical as emotional." (The Independent, 29 August 2003) Viagra can help many men, asserts urologist Morgentaler (Harvard Medical Sch.; The Male Body). But its cure-all-penises reputation is only a myth. It is most effective for erectile dysfunction caused by performance anxiety, less so for premature ejaculation and for medically caused problems. Viagra cannot supply desire, guarantee partner satisfaction, or rescue a relationship aground on different issues. Moreover, secret use of the drug can raise issues of trust and honesty with a partner. Yet there are effective treatments for when Viagra fails-injections, implants, vacuum devices, and couple therapy. Morgentaler's needed corrective is readable and well organized, with case histories and summaries - plus a chapter on gay relationships. Unfortunately, it lacks a resource section, guidelines for finding a doctor/therapist, and illustrations. A good general work on sexual dysfunction is Lawrence Hakim's The Couple's Disease, and Robert Butler and Myrna Lewis's The New Love and Sex After 60 is also highly recommended. Morgentaler's books is a valuable if imperfect addition to collections where Viagra books circulate frequently.
