So many things are covered in this book. It has something for everyone who is looking for a better sex life. There are literally dozens of new ideas and facts that you will walk away with, no matter what your situation is. I happen to be a single gal and have found the book to be really useful so far in understanding the "female brain." However I have also shared it with my best friends who are married/committed and they enjoy what they've learned too. Here are some highlights we've liked. (And PS-if you are looking for something fun to do with your girlfriends, this book and some vino are all you need for a great night. It's like a saucy book club.)

--Info about the body, specifically which hormones and other chemicals really matter. How your life and aging can screw them up.
--All about vibrators, "self-simulation" and other toys! Fantastic guide!
--Tips for loving your body more as it is, instead of trying to look like a model. Taking your partner's compliments more seriously, too.
--How to get what you want in bed without being critical of your partner. She talks a lot about how men and women are different in their needs and it's nobody's fault, you just have to find a way to work through it. Compromise!

It's a good book and what's more fun than reading about sex?

This book laid out an easy to follow plan to open discussion with a partner in a way that would not scare him off. The tone was conversational and friendly; like you were just out to happy hour with the girls, getting advice, sharing ideas, and learning a different approach to open communication with your partner. Better communication, understanding and love will lead to great sex -- it's true!

I got this book last week and have found it both helpful and accessible. The format is clear and concise and the end of chapter perscriptions are nicely organised - in a way that I think suits a lot of busy women, the kind that may need this book as they have let this component of their lives fall to the wayside. There is a lot of information in the book and as it is so readible there are bound to be nuggets for everyone. I have found some chapters excellent in addressing the things I would like to improve but also learned a few things from reading the parts that I did not expect to need improvement.

I'm a 52 year old woman, married for 30 years, and even I have found this book to be useful in improving my sex life with my husband. I bought the book after seeing Dr. Berman on The View, and her great advice really continues in the book.

I thought I'd done and tried everything to spice things up with my husband, but this book offered new insight into why things happen with our bodies the way that they do. Acknowledging the emotional and relational issues is important as well, and Dr. Berman offers many solutions to common problems, as well as some not-so-common ones.

I think all women (and men!) could benefit from this book. She really delves deep into what is going on in your relationship and sex lives, instead of just giving embarassing tips that no real person would use. I would recommend this book for anyone from a single woman, to a newlywed couple (wish I had had it then!!), to the couple that thinks they've tried it all.

I saw Laura on the View this morning and I have watched the Berman sisters for years and after the Berman & Berman show ended I was so excited to see Laura has continued sharing her expertise with the world, but wondered where has Jennifer been the past couple of years?
This is probably one of the best books I have seen about a sexual makeover for any audience. Most of them are targeted towards couple, but this really allows anyone interested in a sexual makeover to achieve it. I am almost done with week one and I can't wait to start week 2 of my 10 week sex makeover! Everyone has to purchase this book, a great gift idea!

I bought "The Passion Prescription" the other day after work and I must say that once I started reading it, I simply could not put it down!!! Even though it's a weekly read I was so anxious that I sped ahead to Chapter Three without my husband's knowledge! From what I've read so far, I believe that Dr. Berman is right on the money! Her point of view on these issues will help me out tremendously! Chapter One was very informative, "Self-Discovery" is something that every woman needs to adapt to- get "in- touch" with yourself ladies, it's important!! And Chapter Two, "The Wonderful World of Vibrators," makes me feel less ashamed and more comfortable about the use of vibrators and sex toys. I will be willing to approach my husband about how much fun we can have "playing" with each other and I think that it could lead us to a more fulfilling sex life. In Chapter Three, the one statement that sticks out in my mind the most is when Dr. Berman said in the second paragraph (where I stopped reading), "there are two essentials for great sex: balanced hormones and good blood flow. All depend on good health in general. While your sexual anatomy and response play the leading role, the rest of your body acts as the supporting cast." I'd never really thought about it like that. I'm looking forward to finishing "The Passion Prescription" and experiencing the ten weeks to my best sex- ever! I think it's just what the doctor ordered!!

I am a mother of two and have been married to the same man for the past 15 years. Although I have always been pleased with our sex life, any improvements won't hurt!!I hadn't heard of Dr. Laura Berman until recently when i saw her on the View. When I researched her, I came across her new book and ordered it thinking it would be an interesting read - and it was much more than that!!

My husband and I communicate very well with one another, but this book took it to the next level. It helped me to identify what my wants and needs are, and it helped my husband to understand them also. My husband and I followed her recommended exercises and it has made a monumental change in our sex life. I feel more in tune with my own body, and closer to him as well.

The Passion Prescription is a great reference and a fabulous read for all kinds of women and I would recommend it highly!

Read the Publishers Weekly editorial review. Do not listen to the angry reviewer who has posted the same review twice now. The review has nothing to do with the book.

Anyone who reads this book will find that it's a well written, nicely done resource with empowering advice for women to make their lives what they want them to be, both sexually and otherwise.

Did you know that high blood pressure can affect your sex life? Or that the majority of women need more time in bed than their partners might provide? Just flipping through the Resource Guide alone makes this book a worthwhile purchase. She also includes several quizzes to help you get to the bottom of medical causes for sexual dysfunction and picking the right novelty items. It runs the full spectrum and that's exactly what women need.

I would recommend this book to everyone from a college student trying to understand what love and sex are all about to a menopausal divorcee looking to get back to dating. As women, we have to unite and support each other, because we all know that information is lacking for us. There is wisdom to be had in this book and I commend Dr. Laura Berman for putting it out there!

I love this book! I have been reading it non-stop since I got it. It's like my sex life is opening up before my eyes. I found the medical chapter to be a little boring, but the other chapters make up for it. New techniques, ideas for me and my husband, and so much other useful information that I just don't have the nerve to talk about with anyone else!

I feel like it's the tell-all girlfriend I never had. Maybe it's because I am young, but I love what this book has done for my sex life.

That is the only word I can think of when commenting on The Passion Prescription. I was a bit skeptical when I bought the book, but after finishing it, and applying all the knowledge that I learned, my thoughts immediately changed! My marriage has found a new light, I highly reccommend this book to anyone who wishes to take their relationship to the next level!
