I originally bought this book for my wife and was interested in what it was about. I'm only a few chapters in and I can't wait to finish the book. I don't have any scientific evidence, but I'm pretty sure some of these same principles apply to men as well. And I can't complain that she's "prescribing" more sex! Thanks Dr. Hoppe for this masterpiece.
"Not tonight baby I have a headache..." We've all said it once or twice and we all know it's become a known fact that sex can relieve symptoms of headache. But not many of us realise there are more benefits to sex that the headache relieving endorphins.
Healthy sex drive, Healthy you is an eye opening book that shows the physical and emotional benefits from a healthy sex life.
The questions asked in this book by Diana E. Hoppe are thought provoking and some of your answers may shock you.
The book shows the differences between the male and female brain, as many as the differences between us physically and emotionally.
Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You is a must read for any and every woman, whether she's currently experiencing diminished libido or just wants to be informed about her body and its responses. Read it alone, share it with your partner or take from it what you need to make improvements in your life where you need them.
It is clear from this book that a woman's sexual health is no longer a subject to be wary of talking about, thinking about or doing something about.
Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You, is a remarkable journey! So important to have this information that has for far too long been missing in our lives. I love the way that Dr. Hoppe addresses the connection between Libido and our overall well being, the recent brain research, the permission and support to be the fabulous sexy wonderful women we are! The questions for reflection are thought provoking and I surprised myself with my own answers! This book is a must read for everyone. This is a book you will want to read again and again. Many thanks to Dr. Diana Hoppe for bringing this into our world!
I found Dr. Hoppe's book helpful for a lot of reasons. Not only did it help me better understand my libido, it also taught me what it means to have a healthy libido and how it effects other areas of my health and well-being. I enjoyed the various tips and statistics in the book and also how diet and stress can play an integral part in having a healthy libido. I read it and passed it on to my husband so he could better understand me as well as himself! I highly recommend this book.
It's never too late for men and women to benefit from the information in this terrific book. It's an easy read that encompasses so much more than the physical benefits of a healthy sex drive. It's a guide about communication and emotional differences between men and women. Dr. Hoppe combines research-based and anecdotal information that helps us understand that there are differences, no judgment, and that this information empowers us to be improve the quality of our relationships. Thanks Diana Hoppe!
