Description

Desire: A Radically Inclusive Guide to Navigating Libido Differences in Relationships by Lauren Fogel Mersy and Jennifer A. Vencill is a sex-positive guide that helps readers understand and manage libido differences in their relationships. Written by two certified sex therapists, this book offers an evidence-based approach to communication around sex, incorporating techniques such as mindfulness, body mapping, and sensate focus. The authors break away from traditional sex self-help genres, which often focus on cisgender women, to provide a more expansive definition of sex and address the structural oppressions that affect libido. This book includes dozens of exercises, checklists, and journal prompts to help readers manage anxiety around sex, identify factors impacting libido, and integrate relationship therapy techniques for better communication. By embracing a more inclusive approach to sex, Desire aims to help readers reach their personal sexual health goals, regardless of their identity, sexual practices, or reason for reading the book.
