Sensual and Alluring
I bought this book b/c of reviews of Mr Deida's poetic ability to write of the subject of sex. I was looking for an understanding of the mystical union between men and women. Mr. Deida's book wrote of this union; his diction..... warm, wonderful and sweet.
His writing allowed me to enter the mind of an `awakened', one who sees the union beyond the sensory perception of our flesh and mind. Finding God through Sex validated my experience of lovemaking as transcendent of the human condition, into the realm of spirit. I agree Mr Deida, through lovemaking, were are connected with God.
This book is an easy read. Mr Deida's prose reminds me of Sourwood honey; sweet, sticky and full of nourishment....YUM. Romantics of life and spirituality..........read this book!

I have found Deida's books and workshops to be profoundly enlightening in discovering a deeper spiritual awareness through relationships and sex. In this book Deida uncovers the nuances that can create blocks in sexual intimacy and explains how to deepen a relationship and open sex to a new level of sacredness and spiritual depth. Not everybody is ready to look at sex at this level, but for those who are it is an insightful book that is written with much awareness and understanding that can take a couple to a deeper intimate connection and higher level of satisfaction.

If you are open and ready you will buy this book no matter what the review will say.. I can only tell you that this book made all the sense to me and directed me in the direction of open, honest, nonexpecting love that keeps growing and expanding.. get ready for amazing surprises..

Thank You David..

This book is the most beautifully written book I have ever read! I loved every word on every page! It is about divine love and how to have a divine relationship! It was just incredible! I am reading it again and I have dyslexia and I never read books twice!!
Thank you!

... then it should be this one. There are so many wisdoms packed in there, one of them being that, well, most adults have sex. Quite a few of them like it and even more would like to like it more, do it more, or enjoy it more. If, by doing this, you can happen upon a deeper meaning of life, and with that, your place in it, all the better. It doesn't get much more understandable, both God and Sex, than the way Deida talks to us about both.

The concepts that David Deida has shared with me in this book are transformational, this is a whole new level of connecting to the divine that I simply had not seen before.

As I read this book I could feel myself evolving, changes happening and blocks being dissolved. This book has taken my 'God' connection to a whole new level, one that I was not even aware of.

The healing that is in the words on each of the pages of this book is wondrous, whether you are in a relationship or not get this book and feel the power of it transforming your life.

This book connected to a very deep place inside of me and has opened doors to a whole new world of relationships.

Author Weight Consciousness: Changing The Beliefs That Prevent Permanent Weight Loss

Sex is a spiritual experience; sex is not to be worshiped. This book doesn't know the difference. The authors show an incredible lack of understanding of true spirituality and wander aimlessly amid psycho-babble about keeping wounds open and sexual stereotypes with no regard to the sacredness of marriage. Move on to something else...anything will be better.

Like so many popular psychology authors before him, Deida has found a way to impress some select group of women even though he long ago started balding.

This is the perfect book for those women among us who will never be happy no matter what they get. Hey, we want women's lib. Uh-oh, whoops. Hey, we want every idealized experience handed to us by prescribed formula. That Mick Jagger line from "Some Girls," comes to mind: the one about women who want everything in the world you can possibly imagine. One imagines all-women book clubs in Marin County, California, getting together to swoon over this absurdity.

I focus on women, here, because this book is clearly written for women, although well-adjusted people of either sex would not read past page 100, would not pass it on to anyone else (for fear of karmic repercussions), and would find the most useful or entertaining form of incineration as soon as possible.

This book perpetuates stereotypical, absurd myths about men and women, and suggests that anyone who does not conform to those stereotypes has something wrong with them. Then it actually compounds the "super-woman" model double-fold, and gets the reader to expect that of men. Well, to be fair, it creates heavy-handed, overly generalized, and totally unrealistic expectations of both men and women. This book is, at best, an eccentric, grotesquely out-of-balance fantasy, and, at worst, a prescription for perpetual disillusionment and dissatisfaction.

I am holding this rubbish in my hand right now in amazement. I guess the reason pop-psych books aren't written for women/people with common sense is because those of us with common sense already know how to find value in human relationships that do not depend on the bizarre brand of perfectionism embodied in some balding man's poorly conceived and poorly developed formula for impressing some set of gullibly needy or neurotic women.
