Publisher's Summary
Assaulted with opportunities for pleasure everywhere - from sex to food or exotic escapes - our culture is becoming more depressed and anxious. Research has shown that many people are having less sex, and that those who do have a lot enjoy it less. For more than thirty years, Nan Wise has worked as a therapist helping people gain a satisfying sex life. In recent years, her work has shifted to the study of anhedonia - the inability to experience pleasure from activities usually found enjoyable - and why more people than ever suffer from it.
In Why Good Sex Matters, Wise not only reveals the fundamental problem in how we think about sex and pleasure but also how we arrived at this problematic relationship to begin with. This fascinating book helps us reclaim our innate capacity for joy, fun, exuberance, curiosity, and humor, while showing how reaching our sexual potential makes us smarter, happier, and more productive people. Ultimately, it reveals how a new understanding of sex can lead to a more expansive experience of pleasure in all aspects of our lives.

Great book! Focused more on the brain & emotions
The subtitle of the book “ Understanding the Neuroscience of Pleasure for a Smarter, Happier, and More Purpose-Filled Life” - is a more accurate description of the book compared to the title. The book is based on the premise that the brain is by far the most important sex organ and does a great job in explaining the inner workings of the brain and the various emotions and how any/all of those emotion can impact our sex life. It contains a good mix of scientific research, case studies and practical techniques to appeal to any kind of reader.

It's too basic for what I was expecting
I already studied this topic in college, so the science was pretty basic stuff for me, and she's promoting some theories that were already disproven as if they're fact, and based on my life experience I know this is harmful to youth. I don't have anhedonia. I expected more about how to enhance pleasure and sex life. The info was too basic for what I was expecting.
