Chapter I: Introduction

From the first day, she assigned me clients who were coming
into the office with sex complaints. I could barely say the
word “sex”, let alone other words like “masturbation”,
“clitoris”, or “perineum”. What the heck is a “perineum”
anyway??? ..... I realized how many people were hung up
on sex and how miserable they were because of it. I had to
face to fact that our sexuality was as important as so many
other things we need ...... I also had to face my own fears.
Something so natural, so ‘right’, and so normal was shroud
in some dark veil, hidden away, a supposed taboo not to be
messed with.

Chapter II: I'm Just Not into It

Gerard and Lilly sat before me during their first appointment
in a state of bewilderment. At first glance, I saw a couple
who really loved each other. They sat close together on the
couch, hands placed gentle on the others arm or leg. When
they spoke, they looked lovingly at each other. What could
be the problem?, I thought.

“I’m just not into it”, Lilly said softly.

Chapter IV: Slow Down...What's the Rush?

Being constantly on the run, having an infinite ‘to-do’ list
running through your head and multi-taking means you are
always one step (or two or three) ahead. As you are doing
one thing or getting to your next place, you are already
planning how you are going to do the next thing or get to the
next place. With your mind always on what is to happen
next you are unable to appreciate that which is in front of
you.

Ask yourself. Is your sex life like that?

Chapter VI: Your Body is a Wonderland: Enjoy the
Journey

I’m hoping that by now you are able to connect some of the
dots and realize how everything we’ve covered to this point
is, in fact, applicable to what goes on between the sheets.....
Our pre-historic ancestors did not need sex manuals. They
some how figured out what to do..... How many times have
you gone on vacation and from the very start, thought only
about getting back home. Unfortunately, this may be true
for some. And, from my work with people in sex therapy, it
seems the case almost all time during sex. There is this
mad dash to get to this magical destination that everything
before it seems almost incidental.....
