This is a book I guarantee I will go back to for reference over and over again. Regardless of the current state of your intimate relationships and libido level, this is something every woman should read. The author, Dr. Andrea Pennington, goes into the biological, physiological, and psychological aspects of orgasms for women, and explains how there are many factors that can affect a woman’s level of sexual desire. Dr. Pennington goes into the science behind why some women have difficulties achieving orgasm, as well as why so many women struggle to stay “focused” when intimacy is initiated. Understanding that so many of these aspects are natural makes it easier to be kind to yourself when you may be struggling with your libido and sexual desire. She also offers many tools to help keep yourself in the moment, as well as things that can help if it’s more of a physical issue rather than something regarding your emotional and mental state. At the end of the book, Dr. Pennington offers a 21-day program that includes meditations and daily rituals to help you become more comfortable in your own skin, as well as taking care of your mind and body in a natural way. I have not completed the program yet so cannot speak to its effectiveness; but it is something I plan on doing in the future. Everyone always has room for improvement and it’s important to remember to continue, not only working on yourself, but also your relationships. I also appreciate that Dr. Pennington doesn’t shy away from the fact that many people are engaged in alternative relationships, and does her best to make sure her advice is given in a way that it can be used by anyone, in any type of intimate relationship.
