Your Guide to Better Sex [antikvár]

INTRODUCTION I waited many years for someone else to write this book. I needed one like it to recommend to people in general and to my patients in particular. Some books on sexual function and dysfunction concentrate on psychology, giving generous interpretations and little practical advice. Others focus on medical and biological aspects of sex but are so technical and difficult to understand that the reader becomes discouraged. Other sex books emphasize communication and the relationship without addressing specific sexual issues. And many sex books concentrate on one sex to the exclusion of the other, seeming to neglect the significance of the interaction with another person. Most books give you one feature or the other, but don't address them all. I wanted a comprehensive book on the subject-one that included all the significant factors affecting sexual performance and responsiveness, with the most up-to-date accurate medical information, self-help suggestions, and high doses of basic common sense. Not finding a book that met all these criteria, I was motivated to write this one. A special feature of this book is the interweaving of the medical, physical, and emotional factors affecting sexual performance. Your feelings, your relationship, your personality, your physiology, and your health all influence your sexual experiences. By the time you have finished Your Guide to Better Sex you will be better able to understand and respond to the intricate relationship between mind and body, man and woman, sex and emotions. In certain areas, I have been purposely provocative in order to challenge our biases and stimulate thought. There are always questions that cannot be answered, or whose answers today will be different tomorrow as our definitions, values, and scientific data change. The etiquette of sex as we know it today often interferes with> the natural expression of sex. This book identifies the cultural rituals that are destructive to good sex, and suggests positive alternatives that need not be limited to the bedroom. Sexual manners begin with the kindness and consideration two people show towards each other in general. They include not only intimacy XV
