Description

At some point in nearly every person’s life, they experience a loss of desire. Sometimes there’s a catalyzing event—stress at work, a fight with your partner, or sexual harassment. Often, the problem is internal as a person loses touch with themselves and what they want. Dr. Kate Balestrieri, licensed sex therapist, founder of Modern Intimacy, and host of Get Naked with Dr. Kate, is here to help.

In this book, Dr. Kate identifies more than a dozen of the most common reasons people show up in her therapy room, asking What Happened to My Sex Life? With understanding and compassion, she reassures readers that no, they’re not broken—and they will feel desire again. Ranging from internal loss of desire (“Why don’t I feel anything?”) to relationship issues (“Am I a partner or a parent?”), the practical advice and insightful resolutions in this book will help readers get their desire—and sex life—back.

Thoughtful reflections on things that might be holding an individual or couple back from enjoying their sexual relationship with each other. Fairly comprehensive for a relatively short book.

Dr. Kate Balestrieri offers a fresh, candid approach to rekindling lost passion and intimacy. This book is not your average how-to manual. It’s a compassionate companion for those who feel disconnected from their sexuality, providing actionable tools to explore desire on their own terms. From understanding internal barriers to cultivating the courage to communicate openly with partners, this guide is packed with practical wisdom for reclaiming pleasure and connection. Whether you’re grappling with mismatched libido, unresolved emotions, or simply seeking to reignite the spark, Balestrieri's blend of expert knowledge and approachable advice will empower you to discover new dimensions of sexual satisfaction and intimacy. Highly recommended for anyone looking to rediscover their sexual self and redefine what pleasure can truly mean.
