This book explores the ancient wisdom, stirring the intimacy back to the sacred practices. It honors both the body and the spirit, leading to spiritual transformation, and giving foundations for something that lasts and doesn’t get boring.
It redefines sex as Sacred Energy Exchange, and explains that sex is an experience of moving energy. It explores how to build awareness and connect to the energetic body first, then how to sense, move, and play with the body’s energy. Since our body is pure atomic energy, we have to learn to sense the energies of our bodies and how to work with them.
This is a very interesting book which reconnects to the wealth of ancient wisdom about energy and how that energy exchange works in sexual partnership. It touches upon the knowledge of Tantra, Taoism, and Kundalini philosophies. The knowledge that got lost, especially in the Western world.
It also presents patient examples and different techniques that were applied.
The book combines ancient wisdom with everyday issues and how to solve them. There is a lot of depth in those pages teaching energetic alignment and emotional healing by applying mindfulness, meditations, and more.
There is a lot of wealth in this book. Personally, I prefer something more concise when it comes to spiritual work.

I'm pretty sure this is the first ever self help book that I've reviewed, but the topic of conversation should be no surprise. Dr. Laura Berman has been a sex therapist and psychologist for many years, and many of her techniques for better connection and communication can be applied to everyone.
Many of the techniques for connecting with your sexual self can be done by yourself or with a partner. Dr. Bremen is also good at explaining how different types of drama, whether it be mental or physical, can manifest in your physical body and how in manifests in your sexual relationship with yourself and others. Then she goes on to give some techniques and examples on how to work through this trauma or at least recognize that it's there.
I found a lot of the things I learned in this book had more to do with mindfulness and self awareness than sex specifically. Essentially, this book explained meditating and mindfully meditating to move your energy to different parts of the body to help connect with yourself and your emotions.
She also gives lots of patient examples where the different techniques she used were applied. For example, a mother of 4 who grew up as the eldest of 7 had a lot of resentment for being the mother figure to everyone in her life including her siblings and parents. This book explained how she talked this mother through her anger and how to meditate to let go of that anger and become a better mother and partner for her family.
Another patient example was a father who had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. He and his wife had been distant for several years even though he had been sober for the past 3 years. Dr. Berman explained how even though he had been sober that he still felt that his past wrongs made him undeserving of love and affection and that feeling and resentment toward himself was causing problems in his marriage and his relationships with his family.
This book was very eye opening and helpful. Several of these mindfulness and meditating techniques I will have to try in my own life. Some of the techniques in the book can also be found on Dr. Berman's website listed below.

I devoured Sex Magic by Dr. Laura Berman in just one day — it was that captivating. As someone already familiar with the basics of sexual energy and manifestation, I found the book both affirming and eye-opening. Dr. Berman blends ancient wisdom with practical modern-day applications, making the concept of using sexual energy to attract love, abundance, and healing feel both powerful and accessible.
Many of the teachings resonated deeply with what I already knew, but there was still plenty to learn — especially about the layered connections between intention, pleasure, and spiritual alignment. Her writing is confident, clear, and rooted in both science and spiritual practice.
Huge thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this early. If you're curious about using intimacy and energy for personal growth, this book is a must-read.

Thank you BenBella Books and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.
Laura Berman’s newest book teaches us how to stand in our sexual power.
This is a book everyone needs to read. Sex magic is something we can all attain and Laura explains how in this incredible, informative book. She explains what sexual power is and how it is attainable.
There is a huge amount of depth within these pages. It covers subjects that may have been expected in the title but it’s the majority of the book that really captured my attention. The parts that truly were magic including the exercises provided to clearly explain how to lean into your sexual authenticity.
I loved reading about uncurling the kundalini, the dichotomy of Tantric and Taoism, the unleashing our energy in our body, through unblocking chakras, somatic experiencing, ecstatic dance and being vulnerable with oneself.
I loved this book and will go back and reread it more slowly absorbing all its beauty and wisdom.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I had the opportunity to read Sex Magic early thanks to NetGalley and the publisher and I’m really glad I did. This book offers a thoughtful and grounded look at how intimacy can be deepened through intention, connection, and self-awareness.
Dr. Berman blends her clinical expertise with accessible guidance that encourages readers to become more in tune with their own needs. I especially appreciated the techniques for grounding and building awareness of your body’s signals, which felt empowering and approachable.
This isn’t just a book about physical connection. It’s about emotional healing, energetic alignment, and creating a sense of intimacy that’s rooted in both presence and purpose. If you’re curious about deepening connection with yourself or your partner, this is a meaningful and well-rounded guide.

𝗦𝗘𝗫 𝗠𝗔𝗚𝗜𝗖 𝗯𝘆 𝗗𝗿｡ 𝗟𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 is a bold and eye-opening guide that challenges readers to rethink their approach to pleasure and intimacy. As someone who doesn’t usually reach for nonfiction — especially books focused on energy work and manifestation — I found this book intriguing but not entirely for me. Dr. Berman blends metaphysical concepts with practical exercises to help readers unlock deeper arousal, release blocks, and create a more empowered sexual reality. While some ideas felt refreshing and offered new perspectives on intimacy, the heavy emphasis on energetic work and spiritual healing might feel overwhelming or out of reach for those new to these topics. I appreciated the author’s expertise and passion, but I felt I might have benefited from reading her earlier work first to fully connect with her approach.

I don’t normally read a lot of nonfiction books. I usually stick to romance and the occasional thriller/mystery. However, when I saw the blurb to this book and it was up for review on NetGalley, I was intrigued and wanted to give it a read and I’m so glad I did. This book was extremely eye-opening, like nothing I have read before. I’ve never really been into energy and manifestation and all things surrounding that kind of thing but this book opened my eyes to it. It was more to do with sexual energy and manifestation. The author dives in deep and talks about the meaning layers of trauma and she also talks about your inner child when it comes to trauma. It’s an insightfully book and I highly recommend giving it a read. I can’t wait to see what else this author has written!

I’ll be honest, this audiobook wasn’t quite what I was expecting. I’ll also be honest and say it was exactly what I needed and didn’t even know it! Not everything the author suggested pertained to me, but like every other non-fiction book I took what I wanted and left the rest. There was definitely some good suggestions and ideas I hadn’t really even thought of in this book. It’s about opening yourself and your emotions up and being aware of your body. Lots of good suggestions of things to try. I listened to the audiobook read by the author. I’m so glad the author read this book. I could feel her passion about the subject in her words and tone. It made this book that much better. I received this audiobook from Brilliance Publishing and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I received an advance reader copy of Sex Magic in exchange for an honest review—and I found it both enlightening and empowering. Dr. Laura Berman offers a unique and grounded perspective on how sexual energy, when paired with mindfulness and intention, can be a powerful force for healing, manifestation, and deeper intimacy.
The connection she draws between body, mind, and spirit is compelling, and the practices she shares are approachable and easy to integrate. I especially enjoyed learning how intentional pleasure can help align your desires and elevate your relationships. Some of the language may lean more spiritual than some readers prefer, but overall, this book offers thoughtful insight for anyone open to exploring sacred sexuality and personal transformation.

If you only read one book on sex magic, make it this one! This book addresses everything you can imagine and some stuff you may not have. It has clear, concise instructions regarding intention, trauma and inner child questions to help you not only have the magical sex you want to have but to get to the bottom of what story you've made yourself into and to show you that you can change your story at anytime and be a sex god or goddess in your own right. The author includes real life stories of clients that can be relatable and show you the inner power that you've always had. She also includes how to make sigils, which I enjoyed very much.

I know the book is called Sex Magic, but honestly so much that was discussed here could be applied to everyday life.
A lot of discussion happens around the chakras and how to channel energy into each one and it was cool to learn those practices. Now while learning about them is one thing, applying it is a whole different one. I feel like this really helps you so you’re not feeling overwhelmed with trying to channel energy where you need it. I listened on audio and it was very informative!

As a newish therapist, I am so excited for this book to be released so I can recommend to so many of my clients. This book is empowering and addresses many facets of therapeutic concerns like trauma, identity and the inner child component. I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I appreciate the opportunity to read for my honest review.

Out there but interesting
A lot of the things discussed in this book are too out there for me, but I like the framing of focusing on mindfulness and energy. Its a new way to look at things that might be worth incorporating I to my lifestyle.
