Description





A practical guide to understanding both low and high libido, drawing on science, straight talk, and useful exercises to stop blame and rekindle pleasure.
For anyone who finds that sex has become a chore or a mystery, sex therapist Cyndi Darnell cuts through the cultural myths and pressure to help you understand and reclaim your sexual desire without shame. With proven, practical exercises, personal reflections, and discussion prompts she helps couples tackle the self-doubt, discomfort, and emotional blocks that often get in the way of intimacy. The result is a path toward soul-nourishing conversations that help couples unlock their unique erotic identities and transform sexual struggles into self-awareness, connection, and confidence.
