When Your Sex Drives Don't Match: Discover Your Libido Types to Create a Mutually Satisfying Sex Life Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

- What libido type are you?: People have different sexual tastes and preferences, which, according to Dr. Sandra Pertot, can be traced to 10 basic libido types--each with a unique set of feelings, desires, and expressions. By learning to recognize them, couples can better understand and work through their sexual conflicts.<BR>- A complete guide to a mutually satisfying sexual relationship: Once couples have identified their libido types, Pertot offers useful ways to manage sexual incompatibilities and, in most cases, achieve a mutually satisfying sex life. Her clear advice emphasizes a combination of increased communication, understanding of differences, and building upon previously established aspects of the relationship.<BR>- Authoritative information based on more than thirty years of clinical expertise: Pertot was compelled to write this book because in over thirty years of experience counseling couples, she's found that mismatched libidos is one of the most common issues with which couples struggle. She's learned to recognize that most sexual problems are not the result of complicated psychological or relationship issues, but rather have completely sensible causes that can be identified and worked out.

Synopsis:

Although we live in a time full of information and open discussions about sex, there are many people who are dissatisfied with their sexual relationships. This is often because one partner's sexual needs, expectations, or desires are widely different from the other's, and the results can be confusing, stressful, and often lead to fractured or broken relationships. But that doesn't always have to be the case.

In When Your Sex Drives Don't Match, sex therapist Dr. Sandra Pertot offers couples rational ways to understand, manage, and overcome their sexual incompatibilities. She emphasizes that the meaning of sex is not, and does not have to be, the same for everyone. She addresses the differences between the male and female sex drives and explains ten types of libido which are each associated with different feelings, desires, and expressions. Her aim is to help couples avoid the path to separation through increased communication, understanding of differences, and building on their established foundation to achieve a sex life that is mutually harmonious and satisfying.
