Dear friends,<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ve always said that if we could solve just one problem in our lives, coming to terms with our sexual selves would solve all of the others. Whether we are actively sexual or not, the deepest aspects of our identity are shaped by our erotic souls.\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Becoming intimate with our sexuality is the key to fully engaging with our lives and finding physical and emotional well-being . . . which sounds great, but how do you <\/span>begin to move in this direction?<\/span><\/p>\n

I have been married to the same man for over 30 years, and I can tell you that the journey to sexual wholeness is not easy. I remember a moment when sexual wounds had all but destroyed our marriage. And then something totally unexpected happened\u2014a truce that gave us both the courage to turn towards our sex life and each other. It was the beginning of sex that works in my own life.<\/span><\/p>\n

In my new book, <\/span>Sex That Works<\/i><\/b><\/a>,<\/span><\/i> I share stories from my own erotic transformation, from the couples with whom I’ve worked with as a professional loveologist, and from my research and ongoing conversations about relationships, intimacy, and sex as the founder of Good Clean Love, maker of organic products for sexual health. To help you dig in and understand your own intimate story, I offer practical exercises for building skills to reclaim intimacy, renew curiosity, and ultimately realize your true erotic potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of this book as a road map for your journey back to your own erotic self\u2014one that will allow you to reach into the really tender places and encourage your truth to flow freely. It\u2019s been an honor to spark this kind of inner dialogue for women, and my hope is that you will find that reading <\/span>Sex That Works<\/i><\/b><\/a> is like talking to a dear friend late at night over a warm cup of tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wishing you wellness on your sexual journey,<\/span><\/p>\n
