For readers who loved Come as You Are by Emily Nagoski I would also recommend Anatomy of Desire. Written in an approachable way that a lot of couples will relate to I will definitely use the information provided by Dr. Jamea in my long relationship.

I picked this up because I am always looking to better myself and my relationship. This is the perfect book for anyone interested in their sexuality and exploring all the possibilities of making sex better. You don't need to be struggling either to soak up everything this book has to offer. I love the author's breakdown of chapters and the real life examples she uses to show the exercises that can help you and your relationships. I feel like there is a lot in this book that you can also use for struggles outside of the bedroom. Defiinitely looking forward to sharing something with my partner and I would love to add this book to my collection to refer to later in life.

This was interesting and sensible. Reminders on how to keep a healthy mindset to have a fulfilling sex life. I feel like I’m always in the honeymoon state with my lover even after 4 years, it’s incredible everytime. That may be because of our circumstances but still I’m always amazed at how wonderful it is everytime. This book helped me recognize things that I do already without realizing I did them or how helpful those little things are in my sex life. This book is more for long term monogamous couples.

Great book! It had a great discussion that portrayed desire and relationships to the concept of flow by Csikszentmihalyi. I enjoyed how the author brought up this perspective of viewing relationships through the lense of flow and gave 5 ways for couples to flow together and connect in the busy and modern world.

It was great to have different life scenarios connected to the cases. Totally recommend reading this book as it’s value added for making sure you don’t lose passion in your relationship as life goes on.

I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed the narration!
