The next Mating in Captivity, this is a paradigm-shifting guide to thinking about and enjoying sex and intimacy in committed, long-term relationships, from one of the nation’s top sex therapists.
With the wealth of books on sex available today, it’s notable that sexual unhappiness remains widespread. In fact, research from the Kinsey Institute suggests that 25% of American women in heterosexual relationships today are markedly distressed about their sex lives. The problem stems from our limited sexual vocabulary: sex writing tends to dwell mostly on technique (“7 Ways to Blow His Mind”) and to offer only the most superficial psychological advice.
Most readers aren’t interested in pushing their erotic boundaries; what they want is more meaningful, satisfying sex within their committed relationships. For that, they need something that’s not yet available:a book that talks about actual sexual feelings.
This is what Dr. Stephen Snyder understands. An M.D. sex therapist with a practice devoted to sexual and relationship issues, he has worked with over 1,500 individuals and couples, introducing them to new and original ways of thinking about sex in order to help them experience the best sex of their married lives. Integrating the latest research on human sexuality with compelling stories from 25 years of experience, Love Worth Making shows people of all ages and backgrounds new ways to master the erotic challenges of long-term relationships by understanding their sexual feelings, enjoying them, and holding on to them for life.
