Advance Praise
"Dr. Castellanos presents a refreshingly
integrated view of sexual health that includes the physical and psychological
dimensions. This book offers you a clear and concise roadmap to identify your
stumbling blocks to good sex and sexual pleasure, and then to move beyond
them."
- Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity
"A wonderful guide for anyone looking for
helpful, compassionate advice on regaining sexual desire and having a more
satisfying sex life."
- Debby Herbenick, PhD, Associate Professor at Indiana University and author
of Sex Made Easy
"Wanting To Want is truly revolutionary. Not in the shock and awe sense of
the word, but in how it connects to experiences we all have had trying to
understand and realize our sexual selves. With a background in psychiatry and
medical biology, Madeleine's grasp on the subject of how to regain sexual
intimacy with oneself and one's partner is uncanny. Reading her book promises
to open up a both compassionate and deeply insightful perspective on how to
make whole again an area in modern existence that has been overburdened by
misconceptions and stigmas that block one of the -- if not THE -- most powerful
sources of connection to the vitality that suffuses our experience of being
alive and of loving."
- Sayer Ji, Founder of GreenMedInfo.com
"Dr Castellanos offers an accessible, honest look at the typical sexual
struggles for modern couples. Her holistic treatment model expertly guides
readers in understanding sexuality from a biological and emotional perspective,
thus assisting them in creating a more satisfying sexual experience."
- Marianne Brandon, PhD, author of Monogamy: The Untold Story
"It's as if you were a true insider into the dynamics fueling sexual
dysfunctions. Dr. Castellanos provides a functional approach to major obstacles
of sexual pleasure in an easy-to-understand format. It's a sneak peek into the
major issues of sex therapy."
- Ian Kerner, author of She Comes First
