Somehow, we dedicate 100% of our hearts and minds to our family, our work, and our community. We are organized, smart, nurturing, and generous. We are intensely well-informed about how to manage our finances, cook chicken in 365 different ways, write a brilliant resume, and be the best parent who ever lived. What we tend to overlook, however, is becoming as well-informed as possible about our private concerns: our mental, physical, and sexual health. You have taken an important step in empowering yourself to take control of your health and happiness by reading this book.
According to a National Health and Social Survey, approximately 43 percent of American women—including those in their early child-bearing years—have some form of “sexual dysfunction,” the majority suffering from decreased sexual desire. Yes, almost half of American women—in the prime of their sexual lives—would rather choose sleep, a good book, or a soothing bath over having sex with their partner. What about you? Take a close look at how you are living your life. Are you putting your physical, emotional and spiritual needs last?
By keenly assessing the choices you make, you can find the strength and power to live a more satisfying, fulfilling life. As a woman, it’s important to become aware of the highly significant and important connection between your libido and your quality of life. A pleasurable sex life spills over into the rest of your life. In fact, sex is actually good for your health—it can lead to a longer life span, less stress and depression, a healthier immune system, as well as more loving relationships, a greater sense of self-esteem, more enjoyment and satisfaction from life, and a feeling of recaptured sexual vigor—all things that women strive for.
The latest scientific research and practical tips presented in this book can help you take control of your health and relationships. This book will cover new information, such as the most recent brain research targeting specific areas of brain function (especially those impacting sex/orgasm), and new drugs aimed at tackling the core issues affecting women’s libido.
