Description
Book SynopsisWhen it comes to libido, every one of us is different But that's no bad thing.
Differences in libido is a common issue in romantic relationships, often leading to insecurity, conflict and communication breakdown. It can be difficult to find help, as most research on the topic adheres to a narrow, heteronormative model of sexual intimacy a way of thinking that hinders our ability to enjoy sex to the full.
Dr. Fogel Mersy and Dr. Vencill's Desire rejects this model. Drawing upon their wealth of experience as certified sex therapists, Fogel Mersy and Vencill look beyond structural oppressions like cisnormativity and compulsory sexuality, to promote a liberated, inclusive perspective.
Through scientific research, cultural analysis, and practical exercises, readers can learn what impacts libido, how to improve communication, and how to manage sexual anxieties, in order to create a healthier and happier attitude towards sex and intimacy.
Whoever you are or whoever you''re into, Desire will help you find the key to having great sex and making lasting relationships.
