Do you and your partner have mismatched sex drives? Does she want sex daily, does he want it once a month or vice versa? Differing sex drives can lead even the most loving couples down a path paved with frustration, resentment, confusion and despair... a path that too often ends in separation and divorce. Partners blame each other for the problem; either he's insatiable and she'd frigid, or she's a nymphomaniac and he's inadequate. Yet a difference in sex drives is not a sexual dysfunction, it's a normal part of all long-term relationships.In this groundbreaking book, respected doctor and sex therapist Dr Rosie King teaches couples how to achieve sexual compatibility regardless of their individual sex drives. Armed with exciting new insights into how male and female sex drives work, men and women can heal their relationships while adding more affection, sensuality and intimacy to every aspect of their lives together; a true recipe for long lasting happiness and a satisfying relationship.
