Synopsis

Awaken Your Erotic Life
"Making sex work--embracing your erotic soul and deepening the intimacy in your life--is both a consequence of deep presence and its gift. Healing our selves in our deepest erotic space can only be a deliberate act, and the doing of it miraculously seems to heal everything else. Tapping into the courage to know your own deepest sexual thoughts and feelings, and offering them with your whole being, is both a life work and lasting gift that will be long remembered." --Wendy Strgar, Sex That Works
If you and your partner have lost that special spark, here is a book with the power to save your sex life--and your relationship. Sex That Works invites you to experience a new level of feeling and a new level of freedom in your sexuality.
