Publisher's Summary

A groundbreaking look at improving desire, arousal, and sexual satisfaction through mindfulness.  

Studies show that approximately half of all women experience some kind of sexual difficulty at one point in their lives, with lack of interest in sex being by far the most common - and the most distressing. And when sex suffers, so do all other areas of life.  

But it doesn't have to be that way. In Better Sex Through Mindfulness, acclaimed psychologist and sex researcher Lori A. Brotto offers a groundbreaking approach to improving desire, arousal, and satisfaction inside - and outside of - the bedroom. 

A pioneer in the use of mindfulness for treating sexual difficulties, Brotto has helped hundreds of women cultivate more exciting, fulfilling sexual experiences. In this accessible, relatable audiobook, she explores the various reasons for sexual problems, such as stress and incessant multitasking, and tells the stories of many of the women she has treated over the years. She also provides easy, effective exercises that listeners can do on their own to increase desire and sexual enjoyment, whether their goal is to overcome a sexual difficulty or simply give their love life a boost.

Disappointed

It was more of a review of studies, then an actual guide to achieve better sex while using mindfulness; not many exercises.

Mindfulness is good for so many things!

This author took a lot of time to research women and their sexuality, and wrote such a thoughtful book about how mindfulness can help with sexual issues

Informational and Thorough

If you're looking for a book of exercises and feel good quotes, this isn't it. But very useful and chock full of studies, explanations, and things to think about. Would definitely recommend.

Eh...

This book was mediocre at best, performance was lackluster and the information repetitive and basic.

Fantastic book!

I'm a male intimacy and relationship coach and I've been reading books written toward a female audience to get a good sense of what women are being taught. This is the most wholesome book related to my work that I've listened to. And I'm so glad the author wrote it.

Most books written to women are based loosely on facts and are heavy on rhetoric and opinion. They're aimed at empowering women more than they are aimed at helping women be fully present to themselves and their full range of experiences that may feel empowering or not. But, when the guidance is done right, I know from experience that being fully present to ALL of our experiences is the key to accessing raw power. And this book speaks to this beautifully and effectively.

Enlightening and Informative

Book vacilated from easy reading and uplifting to detailed and technical. Overall, very useful in enabling a thorough understanding of the challenges and opportunities to enhance and regain the essential sensual connection between partners.
