Getting the Sex You Want: Shed Your Inhibitions and Reach New Heights of Passion Together

The experience of reading Getting the Sex You Want is like having an extended conversation with a warm and sharing expert who is patient enough to guide you through a variety of perspectives to help you think clearly about sexual issues. Dr. Nelson points out—using Imago dialogue patterns—ways in which difficult conversations can not only be conducted effectively but contribute to creating warmth and connection. At the same time, she describes how many couples fall into avoidable patterns when faced with the challenge of negotiating differences. Couples who read this book will find encouragement and usable tips for dealing with issues that, left unaddressed, would likely result in isolation and loneliness. The book includes dialogues between couples in which genuine empathy, honesty, validation, vulnerability and exploration are shared and come to life. Also, there are examples of unsuccessful conversation between partners that illustrate pitfalls of communicating without empathy, validation and so forth. Although I am an experienced couples therapist who has read a fair amount of sex therapy self-help literature, the frank discussion of sexual options and ways in which partners can share secrets they may be holding, without scaring themselves or their partners, was useful to me personally and professionally. Likewise, the review of information regarding anatomical information pertinent to sex added to my knowledge base. Five stars.

One sexual cliché after the next (date night, establish a ritual etc). 'The New Monogamy' is very good, so this is truly baffling. Book looks self-published. Perhaps that explains it.

This book was a fantastic resource that brings together the fundamental problems in relationships and helps address these issues. It can be a great resource if both parties are ready to work together and learn to connect with one another on a different level.

An interesting read. Fun to read with your lover
