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.
