Sexual Intelligence

What We Really Want from Sex--and How to Get It

De: Marty Klein

Narrado por: Alan Winter

Enjoyable sex: it’s not about technique or a perfect body or being hopelessly, passionately in love. It’s about Sexual Intelligence.

In his three decades of working with couples and individuals as a sex therapist and marriage counselor, Dr. Marty Klein has continually seen that although most people say what they want from sex is pleasure and closeness, that’s not what they focus on during sex. Instead, we’re preoccupied with how we look, what our partner is thinking, how we’re performing, and whether we’re “normal.” We do more thinking, worrying, and judging than experiencing. Sex like that can’t thrill us, can’t create intimacy, and can’t, well, feel sexy.

In Sexual Intelligence, Klein shows how to stop observing ourselves during sex, ending our obsession with sexual performance and sexual normality. “I don’t help people ‘function’ better during sex,” he says. “I teach people how to relax and enjoy sex with the body they have, the partner they have, in the situation they have.” Now that’s something we all want: fulfilling, exciting sex at every stage of our lives.

In Sexual Intelligence, Klein challenges our understanding of sex, love, intimacy, romance, and satisfaction. After all, sex isn’t just an activity. Change the way you think about sex, and you can change your sex life—forever.

Surprisingly Excellent

I expected a lot different but I was really impressed by this book. A well written and well explained book. The author takes a difficult subject and really breaks it down to understandable bite size pieces that can be taken in and learned and used. He also does a good job explaining different difficulties we will all eventually encounter as we age with only a perspective that a seasoned therapist could cultivate. Good Job Marty

an audio book possibly more effective than print

story content outstanding
narrator sounds like he's channeling the author, not just praying the text!

Very straightforward.

Honestly, I got distracted in chapter 6 or 7 when the author mentioned that a woman was obese and then it had zero bearing on anything else he talking about. Seemed unnecessary.

Really great. Should be requires reading in high school.

A lot of good stuff in here. And the narrator, probably one of the best I’ve heard in a while. I would honestly seek out more stuff from the narrator. I know this isn’t a very thorough review but trust me, you should read this book.

Good Info

Lots of good insight into how people think about sex and how people SHOULD think about sex.
