‘Love and Sex’ – To say that there is something for everyone, single and married, Christian and non-Christian, would be quite accurate as there is even a chapter called ‘fling or long term thing,’ that chronicles the rules of love.
Back in the day we used to be told that men are from Mars and women are from Venus and we therefore simply do not know how to communicate with each other or get in touch with the other’s needs. Well clinical sexologist, Dr. Karen Carpenter, has penned a guide for relationship 101 that finally dispels a lot of myths about what we want and need in our partners as well as how to not only circumvent our differences but learn to appreciate them for what they really are.
‘Love and Sex: the basics’ gives you the basics and then some as Dr. Carpenter provides in depth information on how to find, keep and maintain a fulfilling relationship where you do not have to short-change yourself or your mate. The book urges you to dig past the surface attraction and get to the substantial root of what you need in a life partner.
Giving a healthy fusion of psychological background and decades of first-hand experience, Carpenter has honed in on what it takes to make love and sex flourish whether you are just dating, a newlywed or on your way to collecting your government pension. In other words, good sex and intimacy do not end simply because your libido has evolved past ‘doing it’ like rabbits every day.
‘Love and Sex’ first gives you a rundown as what each gender is seeking from the other before delving into sexual attraction and compatibility. To say that there is something for everyone – single and married, Christian and non-Christian – would be quite accurate as there is even a chapter called ‘fling or long term thing,’ that chronicles the rules of love. It also pulls out the red flags to watch for to ensure that the person across from you is not blowing smoke up your you-know-where!
The chapter on ‘Owning your Orgasm’ is a must read for both men and women as it seeks to de- mystify the ‘big O’ while discouraging women from faking it with their partners. The guide also takes you beyond just physical intimacy but also what goes on in the brain because as we know the brain it one of the main organs that need stimulating. From relationship goals and ideals, dating and the age gap, to why some people have affairs, ‘Love and Sex’ covers the gamut of real-world bedroom issues that are oftentimes snickered or giggled about, whispered, ignored or simply considered taboo in our society that in some situations view gentility as being ‘anti-male.’
A book such as this is priceless, timely and relevant as the divorce rate in this country is steadily climbing, the ‘bun’ factor is running amok and many relationships are floundering, hence any assistance available to both couples and singles is always welcomed.
