I love this book: The Return of Desire - A Guide to Rediscovering Your Sexual Passion, by Gina Ogden

So much good info. She polled women and men using a poll she calls an ‘ISIS’ poll and then meshed their answers with stories, anecdotes and exercises. An awesome read. It talks about everything from masturbation, polyamory, monogamy, dogma, spirituality, emotional intimacy, communication and sex toys. It's been very healing for me.

And this is cool—I found the ISIS poll that she used for the book on her website: www.ginaogden.com/index.php

Anyone else have good read recommendations??


I took this from the website:

In this book you will discover innovative ways to:

• Open up to the four energies that spark desire
• Create heart-to-heart communication in your sexual partnerships
• Transcend guilt, shame, and "good-girls-don´t" messages
• Heal the sexual wounds of abuse, addiction, affairs, and low self-esteem
• Enjoy sexual pleasure and joy throughout your lifespan— from new love, to parenthood, and even into your golden years, when desire can ripen, like fine wine.

Gina Ogden – a marriage and family therapist and passionate voice in the field of women’s sexuality - invites readers to look beyond sexual performance and offers engaging ways you can say "yes" to pleasure on your own terms. She suggests wise and lively approaches for overcoming roadblocks to intimacy, and encourages you to expand your capacity for love, creativity, compassion, and sacred union.

It’s cheapest right now on Amazon, of course – but the gifts still come with it.
