Honest Sex

A Passionate Path to Deepen Connection and Keep Relationships Alive

De: Shana James

Narrado por: Shana James

Some say we are outgrowing marriage as a culture. However, the problem that author Shana James regularly sees as a relationship coach—and through her own divorce—is that many of us have not matured enough to create the emotionally-connected, sexually-satisfying relationships we long for.

Honest Sex teaches us what kind of honesty is effective for creating closeness, what sex actually is (rather than what we've been taught), and how to communicate desires and upsets to create more intimacy. By examining new ways to sustain connection with a partner, author Shana James illuminates a framework for relationships to start strong and get more intimate and exciting over time.

James is the creator and host of the Man Alive podcast, and has a TEDx Talk, "What 1,000 Men's Tears Reveal About the Crisis Between Men and Women." In this book, she uses her Master's in psychology, DISC, and Positive Intelligence certifications to guide listeners. As a relationship coach for 20 years, she humbly discovered the causes of disconnection and distrust in relationships, as well as how to build trust and keep passion alive.

“Be Honest”

I am a gay man who never met my grandfather. My mom tells me that he was known for encouraging others to be honest.

I have chosen to put honesty at the foundation of my life — particularly in spiritual and sexual ways — which has caused many people to cut me out.

My parents taught me a pattern we call “The Triple A (AAA)” that stands for:

- Acknowledge
- Accept
- Appreciate

“Honest Sex” by Shana James is a refreshing read that encourages AAA. It has some very thought provoking moments that I referenced in efforts to connect with those around me.

Thank you for making this read available on Audible. I have put it on my current list of top reads. Keep letting the light shine in!

Very insightful, changed my life

Shana clearly knows what she is talking about and it feels like she is reading to a friend. The information can be life changing. It’s not just about sex, although that definitely improved for me and is a key part of the book, it’s also about how honest relating to yourself and others can help get more of what you want in all aspects of life. She lays out a clear path with a lot of very personal, vulnerable, and relatable examples from her own life and those of her clients, which made it easier for me to practice my own vulnerability. I am grateful for how it helped me better understand and ask for what I want, and highly recommend it to anyone struggling with their own wants and ability to communicate and ask for what they need. All the stars as it definitely helped me and changed my life!

Incredible Communication Tool

This is the first book on Audible that I have ever immediately began again once I finished it. It’s also one of the best books about communication, specifically honest, authentic, and vulnerable communication, that I’ve ever read or listened to. I’ve been recommending it to my own clients and family members! Now I need the hard copy, too!! ♥️

Not about sex, but relationships as a whole

fantastic book about how to get rid of negativity in your relationship, which of course leads to better and more frequent sex.
