A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex: Reclaim Your Desire and Reignite Your Relationship
{ 4 comments… read them below or add one }
//A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex// would more accurately have been titled //A Tired, Heterosexual, Married Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex//. Author and licensed psychologist Laurie B. Mintz, PhD. makes very clear this book is “geared to…heterosexual coupled women” as “low desire is something that generally occurs within the context of a long-term relationship.” For the many women who are in long-term relationships and are not married she expects the reader to disregard her use of the word husband and “fill in the word or name that fits you.” Women not in long-term relationships with little or no sexual desire who are also tired are on their own. Maybe that will be a follow-up book.
Mintz tells her own story and shares vignettes from her psychotherapy practice that demonstrate how her theory of the “five T’s and a Bit of Spice” as part of a six-pronged program will enable the regeneration of passion and libido. Her program uses aspects of sex therapy, marriage enhancement, stress management, communication skills and self care. The five components are Thoughts, Talk, Time, Touch, and Trysts. These five aspects when applied get the tired woman hungry for sex again. The “bit of spice” is whatever the individual chooses to add in that will further power up the sexual experience.
Information is presented in a clear and direct fashion. The chapters take the reader on a journey that integrates the components of thought, talk, time, touch and trysts with observations from the author, friends and clients who have successfully applied this program. The final pages of the book include resource material on a variety of topics from anger to reproduction that can affect or inhibit sexual desire, including a section with references for the husband to explore. //A Tired Woman’s Guide to Passionate Sex// is a no-nonsense approach with useful tools for the married heterosexual woman looking to regain the sexual energy lost in her life.

As a therapist myself, I will recommend this book to both my own clients and my friends. It’s so great to find a resource I can trust. This book gives real, practical information that is actually based on years of clinical experience and current research–a combination that is hard to find in self-help materials. It uses real life examples and explains everything so clearly and concisely, while also giving specific steps to take. And it’s such an important topic!
