Mind The Gap: The truth about desire and how to futureproof your sex life

by Karen Gurney

'This book taught me so much about female desire. A must read!' Cherry HealeyDid you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30% between heterosexual couples when they have sex? In Mind The Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap, but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire. In this book, you will learn that nearly everything that you've been led to believe about female sexuality isn't actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term.Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind The Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems. Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is a book for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanics of desire and futureproof their sex life, for life.

good

A good read…makes you think. I especially liked the distinction around why we want sex in the first place…this really made me pause and think. It might seem an obvious thing but the way the question is brought forward in the book was good.
