About This Book

Sexual Intelligence (2013) explores how beliefs, emotional awareness, and self-acceptance shape sexual satisfaction far more than physical appearance or technical skill. It challenges the idea that sex should follow a scripted formula or aim for performance-based success. Drawing on decades of real-life experience, it encourages us to embrace our own definitions of pleasure and build intimacy through authenticity, curiosity, and connection.

Who Should Read This?

  • Anyone seeking a healthier, less anxious sex life
  • Couples wanting deeper emotional and sexual connection
  • Individuals tired of chasing sexual “normalcy” or perfection
