Have Sex for 30 Days--and Transform Your Marriage!

Let's face it: Sex is the barometer of your relationship. When the sex is great, odds are your relationship is great, too. But when the sex is not so great--or nonexistent!--your relationship suffers as well.

Time for The 30-Day Sex Solution! This sensibly sexy handbook is the brainchild of Playboy Playmate and sex psychologist Dr. Victoria Zdrock Wilson and her therapist husband John Wilson. This happily married expert couple shows you and your partner now to reclaim intimacy, one day--and night!--at a time:

• Days 1-6: Renew your vows, reduce distractions, focus on just you two
• Days 7-12: Recapture romance and rekindle your passion
• Days 13-18: Rediscover each other--and reinvent yourselves as a couple
• Days 19-24: Embrace the power of play
• Days 25-30: Become sexual and spiritual soul mates

Together, the Wilsons give you a sensual roadmap back to the affection, commitment, and passion you once shared. Because love--and sex--really is better the second time around!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank yu, Dr. Z August 13, 2011

By Evette Munz

Format:Paperback

I would like to thank Dr. Z. for offering me (and other readers) sincere, realistic examples of how to bring the spark back into a relationship. She offers insight and excellent examples that are realistic for this day and cyber-age. Her book comes across as friendly, not preachy. There is no guruism, just knowledge presented by someone who is very well-respected in her field.

When I complete this review I am going to go back on Amazon.com and purchase her other books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A welcome addition to the self help literature August 31, 2011

By Frederick Goggans MD

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

As a physician I always search for truly valuable self help books for patients. This book on restoring sexual intimacy in the context of a long term committed relationship meets the essential criteria for me. It is very well written and concise and comes across as convincingly practiced by the authors and therefore credible. So many of the chronic medical complaints in the primary care office such as insomnia anxiety/depression and many of the musculoskeletal syndromes can be associated with reduced activity/exercise as well as sexual alienation and lack of sexual intimacy. While the former subject may be easily and openly addressed the latter topic of impaired sexual functioning remains unfortunately more difficult for couples to discuss between themselves or with professionals even today. This practical volume should serve a good purpose of guiding couples to restoring not only their sexuality and relationships but their general health and sense of overall well being. I will be able to suggest it to patients with confidence.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't pay money for a sex therapist September 2, 2011

By C. Ferrara

Format:Paperback

This book saved my life. My sex life that is. Unlike most books that describe different sex positions etc.. this book actually delves into the psyche. The first half of the book is about eliminating the negative blocks we have to sex, such as shame, guilt, not being honest with your self or your partner.

Do not just READ this book. You must actually DO the exercises. I found the section on "communication" to be most valuable and enhanced my relationship in ALL aspects. One message I got from it is that you can't have a open and fun sexual experience without being open and honest with your partner.

Another section is about reveling "sexual vulnerability." It IS possible to turn boring, routine and predictable sex into something fun, exciting, and even spiritual. I think this book benefits from being written by both a man and a women so you get both perspectives. I would be very interested in learning how other couples react to the exercises in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars There's nothing like spicier sex! August 22, 2011

By S. L. Sloca

Format:Paperback

In this day of 60% divorce rates and philandering politicians, it is nice to see a psychologist who thinks that stale relationships can be revived. I admit to being pretty skeptical when I bought this book, as there are 1,000 "spice up your sex life" books out there, and most of them say the same things. However, I have to hand it to Dr. Z, as she is pretty original and imaginative when it comes to sex. Too many psychologists are way too puritanical for their profession and can't break out of the mold of Victorian sexual repression that America suffers from. Dr. Z has no such inhibitions, as evidenced by her suggestion that you record your sexual intentions on Facebook (tell that to ex-Congressman Wiener!). Her point, though, is when you go public with your commitment to better sex, you are more likely to follow through with it. That's not revolutionary--after all, that's what public weddings are all about; and in olden times, couples were carried off to the bedroom on their wedding day, and their bloody sheets were hung from the balcony the next morning. Our ancestors understood that it took the whole family to make marriages work; and while we no longer live together in extended families, nor are parent-adult child relationships as close as they once were, we can learn from our elders' experience. Dr. Z and her husband have that understanding; and their advice is both practical and supported by psychological studies. I especially liked the section on "play," as that is an element often neglected by work-stressed, child-obsessed couples these days. If you are in need of relationship strengthening today, this is the book you should have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tell everyone? July 18, 2011

By Jessica A Stewart

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this book in the hopes of finding a way to bring back the love life my husband and I had years ago. We have been together for 18 years now, married almost 12 and we have a great marriage, but we are just trying to rekindle he romance in a different way. This book was not for us. Thank you Amazon for your AMAZING return services. We decided this book was not for us when we got to page 14 and were told to share with family and friends our committment to renew our sex life. What???? It wanted you to email all your friends and family, Facebook and twitter your committment. The logic behind this was that if you make it public you are more apt to keep the committment you made with your spouse. Basically the first 14 pages tolds us what we already know. Just not worth the read past that page. It may help many others, just not what we were looking for at this time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book August 14, 2011

By Robert D. Stapelberg

Format:Paperback

Most of us believes that we're experts when it comes to relationships and sex so if something starts to go bad in our relationship it's always the persons fault. Dr. Zdrok Wilson is an acclaimed expert in this field and offers excellent advice to those who want to rekindle the lost magic in their relationships and sex lives or for those who want to expand their knowledge on how to please their lover. Both she and her coauthor husband have been committed to each other more than 15 years and their book shows you why, they love to explore new techniques to keep their love life and marriage strong and in this book they share these techniques with you. This is a very well written book full of useful information that is already showing great results in my relationship. I highly recommend this book.
