Baby Boomer Guide to recharge the libido
936704
As some, not all, but some post-menopausal women know...the libido does a nose dive that if it were the stock market, we'd all be jumping off buildings. This delightful book is an antidote to some of that. For all those who thought the pill the best thing ever (forget sliced bread), try this book. But don't go to it if you are priggish, have an unnatural aversion to the English language words my Victorian mother would have blanched at. Winston's book is specific, and very very helpful.

This is a thoroughly researched, practical guide to heterosexual sex. It is about more than just the female orgasm: its about enhancing sexual enjoyment for both a man and a woman in a sexual relationship.  Rather than just focusing on the physical aspects of female orgasm, the author incorporates the emotional aspects of sex into each chapter, emphasizing preservation and enhancement of the relationship.  There are practical how-tos here as well, but subjects covered include how to make your partner feel beautiful, communication, listening to a womans body and using seduction techniques to keep her aroused over the life of the relationship.  There are special topics like female orgasm and obesity, female ejaculation and sex during pregnancy as well.  Throughout, the primacy of the emotional connection is stressed.  This is far more than a road map to female orgasmit is a thoughtful guide to enhancing sex through enhancing your overall relationship.

I sat down with Simcha Fishers The Sinners Guide to Natural Family Planning on Thursday night and could not stop turning the pages until, a few hours later, I had read the last page.

In her usual frank, humorous and engaging style, Fisher has taken a waltz through all the major struggles and dilemmas facing modern Catholic couples struggling to live a faithful life in the bedroom without becoming prudes or perverts. A waltz that is, in the manner a mother usually dances through her house. Stepping lightly over the remains of past meals recovering gracefully from a small slide in the spilled milk in the kitchen and leaping like a gazelle over the laundry pile. She deals with the gritty reality of a couple searching for an active, healthy, and improving sex life in the midst of all the trials of paying the bills, keeping up with the chores, the ongoing challenge of parenthood, and all ongoing struggles involved in married life. It is, in short, a must read for Catholic couples.

The chapter on discerning when to use NFP, and when not to, is well balanced and empowering. The chapter on free will and discerning Gods will is brilliant, easy to understand and should be cut and pasted into any book about discerning God's will for your life! The chapter on laughing and sex is helpful and also very amusing. Her chapter on what husbands and wives can do for each other is also helpful, but all these things do not make the book as valuable as the main thread of her argument that runs through each chapter.
Fishers main point is this: sex is for grown-ups. So if you want fantastic sex, you need to grow up! When we are childish, petulant, selfish and lazy in our approach to sex, it will be disappointing to say the least. So the struggles with married life are a gift in that, learning to be a grown-up in our most intimate relationship not only makes that relationship much more fun, frolicsome and fulfilling, it teaches us to be grown-ups in every other aspect of our lives. In short, marriage helps us grow in holiness.

If I have a negative it would be that the book is not long enough. I can hardly fault Simcha for writing from a womans perspective. After all, she writes as a woman who has listened carefully to men and seems to understand the basics. But  I wanted a chapter for men! A chapter from a mans perspective might have rounded off the book as an even more excellent resource for couples than it already is. I don't mean that she is hard on men. I think she is too soft in places. Sometimes it takes a man to tell other men to man up, and give some practical tips on how to go about it.

The book is available in paperback, Kindle and even audio editions, and at your local Catholic bookstore.

Get the book. Read the book. Pass it on.

Love the wisdom I'm finding in this book. I read a chapter every night and re-read the ones that have particular meaning for me. I highly recommend this book for any baby boomer or soon-to-be retiree.

Read the Publishers Weekly editorial review. Do not listen to the angry reviewer who has posted the same review twice now. The review has nothing to do with the book.

Anyone who reads this book will find that it's a well written, nicely done resource with empowering advice for women to make their lives what they want them to be, both sexually and otherwise.

Did you know that high blood pressure can affect your sex life? Or that the majority of women need more time in bed than their partners might provide? Just flipping through the Resource Guide alone makes this book a worthwhile purchase. She also includes several quizzes to help you get to the bottom of medical causes for sexual dysfunction and picking the right novelty items. It runs the full spectrum and that's exactly what women need.

I would recommend this book to everyone from a college student trying to understand what love and sex are all about to a menopausal divorcee looking to get back to dating. As women, we have to unite and support each other, because we all know that information is lacking for us. There is wisdom to be had in this book and I commend Dr. Laura Berman for putting it out there!

There are allot of how to books on the market but none like this one.  This one book literally revived a dead sex life.  As a married woman of 15 years things in the bedroom get old real fast and I was not sure if there was anything that could bring back the connection between my husband and I.  We seemed to have misunderstandings in the bedroom department and it was so frustrating this book helped me realize that first of all I needed to examine my sexual energy and balance it with the other energy centers of the body.  Previous to this book I had never understood the mind / body connection in regards to sex.

I was apprehensive about sharing this book with my husband as I did not know how he would receive it but I told him that we could have better sex and he was all over it and me after we finished the book.

This book was great for us not only because it told us what we needed to do but it also included exercises and steps that we could really put into action.  This book is the sole reason why I am able to have multiples and at the age of 35 I needed that so bad.

Jean-Claude Carvill is a very talented author and the narration done by Marie Helene was even sexy and made listening that much better.  It is nice to read a book that is written by someone who knows their stuff from actual experience

And this is why we gave this as a gift to two couples as a Xmas gift-one couple has been together for 20+ yrs and the other over 10yrs. Sexual intimacy is an important part of a relationship no matter what stage of life you are in. When I received my copy, I thumbed through and read a bit on life as a new parents. Because I went through this with my own kids, I couldn't stop nodding in agreement. Another plus is that the 'stories' are monogamous meaning you do not have sexy situations with a babysitter, neighbor or bodies that stay perfectly taunt for eternity. While those stories can be a turn on for some, Bedded Bliss keeps the hotness level high between one couple over many years.

Bedded Bliss is a combo of erotica with some very real guidance. I did not find myself rolling my eyes at any of them like I normally would when reading tips to keep your sex life steamy. It was wonderfully written and very real.

Has your sex-life flat-lined?

If you're in a long-term committed relationship, Heart of Desire could be the answer.

Stella Resnick not only explains in clear language the ABC's of human sexuality, she offers specific exercises to bring your love-making to life.

In a section called "The Principle of Relaxed Excitement," for example, she explains that "when people want to improve their sex lives, the very sense of urgency...militates against achieving the goal."

Offering sound and simple advice to calm you down, Resnick outlines useful techniques to "balance your nervous system" as a prelude to satisfying sex.  This includes "conscious breathing, mindfullness and focused attention."

The book is filled with stories about couples who - in the therapist's office and in the privacy of their bedrooms - found new ways to express affection and passion.

Keep in mind that this is a candid guide for partners - straight and gay - from an experienced therapist who knows her business and doesn't pull punches.

So if you're looking for the "Keys to the Pleasures of Love," Heart of Desire is more than a good read.  It just might save your relationship.

I have had the amazing experience to go to a Making Love Retreat in 2010 with the author and bought this book to help me stay in this amazing energy. In this book you will surely learn a lot of ways to make your life more beautiful and deepen your experience of living. If you want to unlock the love inside you and be more love for you and others this is the book for you.  It explains about the existence of several simple universal metabolic enhancers and how these can be harnessed in sex to our great benefit and satisfaction.
Slow Sex will be on my night table to read and remind me how to create the most precious moments in life.

Thank you Diana

This is a book that I would recommend to all women hitting their 40s. Its not that you wake up one day and realize that you have menopause! Its the perimenopause symptoms that  most women need to know, well before they reach the actual menopause stage. Knowing that there are others going through "stuff" and one is not going crazy, is in itself worth the price of this book! She lays out your options very clearly, including natural ones. Her writing style is conversational and direct - cannot go wrong with reading this.

We're all looking for answers and we are all trying to accept the fact that we are aging and losing the vibrant health we once had.  This book tells you like it is. Open you mind and become aware that there is no need  to age to the degree we once did.  This book can be the solution to so many  of our health issues.  Wrinkles, lack of enery, libido, colds, allergies.  I've used growth hormone for 8 months and have not had one cold or sinus  attack.  Have lost all cellulite, toned up my muscles and lost body fat.  I'll never stop taking it.  I'm 50 years old and before starting GH was  about ready to give up.  I've got a new life and I plan to feel and look  good for many years to come.

Feel like the romance and sex in your relationship has become lost somewhere between having children and managing every day pressures such as work demands, home duties, and financial stresses?

Then you must read How to Get Your Boyfriend Back [From the Husband He Turned Into] by Julia Black. This reader-friendly book provides clear, practical and sometimes amusing suggestions in how to reignite the passion in your relationship.

It is well researched and uses a number of real-life examples. I particularly liked the dot-pointed summary, What to Do, at the end of each chapter and have personally taken on board many of Blacks suggestions. A great read.

I was given a free copy of this book by the author in exchange for an honest review.

Baby Boomer Men is a thought provoking self help book. I loved Chapter One, "Time Line", it's snappy, witty and just plain fun reading.
There were many insightful perceptions in this passionate and often emotional book. It's a must read for mature men and women, especially singles. However, reading Baby Boomer Men could be beneficial even for those who consider their relationships on solid ground. Practicing Barbara Kennedy's recommendations will not only help new relationships get off on the right foot but help established relationships stay solid. Barbara Kennedy IS the new Master of "How -To" create and maintain loving relationships and lifelong committments.

I'm so glad I ran into this book. I'm 39 years old and until now I thought that sexual desire disappears naturally with age and there is nothing to do about it except use a lot of lube and "suffer in silence".
To my surprise, the one who referred me to this book was my husband that the fact that I do not enjoy sexual relations has bothered him deeply.
While reading the book I found out that my perception was so wrong and that there are many reasons for decreased libido and that almost every reason has a solution. I realized that every woman can and deserve to enjoy sex life.
The next day I went to see my doctor and it turns out that the antidepressants pills that I take for few years are known as suppressing sexual desire. My doctor changes my medicine to a different type that do not affect libido and to my astonishment it worked.
I cant believe how ignorant I have been and how many years of sexual pleasure I missed. Suddenly I enjoy having sex and I feel feminine and sensual as I did before. Obviously I told about it to my friends so they take care of their problem as well. I wish that this important book will get to every woman who has a sexual desire problem so she can change it and get her sexuality and enjoinment back.
