Sexual difficulties in couple relationships are common, however they can be readily overcome. Often, the difficult part is talking about them together. This needs to happen, as all too often these problems can lead to the breakdown of the relationship or limit a person's ability to have intimate relations at all.
In 'Sex-Life Solutions', sex therapist Janet Hall discusses ways to overcome common anxieties, problems with performance or rejection, and patterns from the past that can be a block to a happier relationship. Importantly, she addresses the differences between men and women in terms of how they behave, think and feel about such personal issues.
With this book, "Dr Jan", as she is known on TV and in her magazine articles, has created a practical guide that offers step-by-step directions for talking together and solving sexual difficulties.
With the help of case studies from her practice, Dr Jan examines:
- How to deal with the difficulties created by different perceptions and anxieties - which include misunderstandings about sex and negative judgements of masturbation.
- How women can deal with specific anxieties about sex, problems with orgasms, and the fear of painful sex.
- How men can deal with their specific anxieties about sex, erection and ejaculation difficulties.
- How to overcome mismatched libido (desire discrepancy), the problems couples experience due to limiting beliefs about sex, and difficulties caused by our busy or stressful lifestyles.
