Unlocking the Sexy in Surrender: Using the Neuroscience of Power to Recharge Your Sex Life

"Our marriage is good except for the sex." “I just want our sex life to be like it was when we were first dating.” “Porn is much more exciting to me than my wife.” “We make sex a priority, but nothing we try seems to help.” If you can relate to any of these statements, you are far from alone. Until now, couples and even therapists have attempted to address diminished desire by focusing on all the wrong places. Anger, neglect, financial problems, poor communication -- the list of the falsely accused is long. In Unlocking the Sexy in Surrender, Dr. Brandon shows that the true answers are actually tucked away in our brains. How are the brains of men and women different, and how do these differences impact the way we look at sex? Dr. Brandon expertly combines her decades of clinical experience with the latest findings from neural science and sex research to reveal a startling truth that may change the way you look at sex in your long-term relationship. If you love your partner, but wish the sex could be better, then this is the book for you. Praise for the Untold Story by Dr. Marianne "intellectually substantial and down-to-earth useful.
