Description

Our culture is (not so) secretly obsessed with sex. People are aching for information to address the hidden worries they are carrying as a burden every day. In a world where most intimacy courses, books, and professionals focus on "unleashing sexual power" or "becoming sexual god/desses," this book caters to individuals who yearn for a starting point and a safe space to address and understand their sexual difficulties without overwhelming expectations. It provides the bridge from poor sexual health education to sexual empowerment from a credible source.

Based on personal and clinical experience, the author understands that deep down, people desire an end to the disappointment they often associate with their sexual experiences. Their true yearning is for accessible solutions that enhance intimacy, build confidence, and foster genuine connections on the most fundamental levels.

Above all, readers of this book are seeking the reassuring knowledge that they are not inherently "broken" when it comes to sex.

In this groundbreaking sex and intimacy book, readers embark on a transformative journey that challenges the one-size-fits-all view of sexual arousal. Drawing on extensive research, trauma-informed neuroscience, and clinical expertise, Kayna Cassard, MA, LMFT, introduces a revolutionary model to navigate the complexity of sexual arousal and desire.
