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

I just finished it and plan on reading it again, starting tonight!

Basically, the author polled women and men using a survey she calls an ‘ISIS’ Survey and then meshed their answers with stories, anecdotes and exercises. An awesome read. It talks about everything from monogamy, dogma, spirituality, emotional intimacy, bisexuality, communication, masturbation, polyamory and sex toys. It's great to hear others stories and get to hear private experiences and conversations that we usually only share with our closest friends - plus, since the author is a therapist, she gives a very positive spin on desire.

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.
