Synopsis

A groundbreaking look at improving desire, arousal, and sexual satisfaction through mindfulness

Studies show that approximately half of all women experience some kind of sexual difficulty at one point in their lives, with lack of interest in sex being by far the most common—and the most distressing. And when sex suffers, so do all other areas of life.

But it doesn't have to be that way. In Better Sex through Mindfulness, acclaimed psychologist and sex researcher Lori A. Brotto offers a groundbreaking approach to improving desire, arousal, and satisfaction inside—and outside of—the bedroom. A pioneer in the use of mindfulness for treating sexual difficulties, Brotto has helped hundreds of women cultivate more exciting, fulfilling sexual experiences. In this accessible, relatable book, she explores the various reasons for sexual problems, such as stress and incessant multitasking, and tells the stories of many of the women she has treated over the years. She also provides easy, effective exercises that listeners can do on their own to increase desire and sexual enjoyment, whether their goal is to overcome a sexual difficulty or simply give their love life a boost.

Goodreads review by Stephen on June 10, 2018

Lori Brotto's research on mindfulness and sex is the most exciting thing that's happened to sex therapy in many years. Indeed, we're only now beginning to grasp its significance for clinical care and research. This book makes sense of some extremely complicated issues in women's sexual health, and g......more

Goodreads review by Julie on June 21, 2019

it's full of good info, but it's all just basic mindfulness applied to sexuality. I think it's probably really good for a beginner to mindfulness but if you know what mindfulness is (and have read Emily Nagoski's Come as You Are) nothing will really be a surprise here.......more
