Johnson "Highliner" (Idaho) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    After over 30 years married to my wife and having a very good sex life, menopause has diminished her libido. In our search for information we came across this wonderful book. It explains in detail the different libido types and how effect the way we think and act. This was so spot-on that we could easily recognize ourselves and saw how we each see things through different lenses. It really cleared up some things that I have wondered about for years. I simply can't recommend this strongly enough for everyone, married or single - it should be required reading.		Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
