It's worth your time and effort...

Passionate Sex is not a sterile, cold how-to technique manual -- but a book written by a physician who believes that maintaining a vital and healthy sexual relationship for the duration of a couple's togetherness needs to focus not just on techniques, but on romance, on sustaining passion and on allowing a couple the freedom to try new things. That may sound easy, but changing old habits and mindsets is NOT easy, and this volume helps make the transition gently pleasurably. It addresses people as adults, not automatons, and the tone is an open and sharing one.In a day and age in which most couples squeeze in love making after the 11 o'clock news when they are both exhausted, Dr. Stein takes a radical departure and exhorts couples to focus on their sexuality and to MAKE time for quality love making.If you are looking for a "positions" book, then this is not the book for you. If you are looking for ways to keep the passion alive in a committed relationship (or to reignite it) then buy a copy of Passionate Sex.

Passionate Sex

I was 12 years old when my parents handed me a book about an egg and some chickens. That was my first written exposure to sexuality. Passionate Sex will not be the last but it is the most important. This comprehensive book lists the correlation between sex, good health and mental well being. The tools described in the book are only guide posts to mutual understanding between lovers and partners. The power of the special sexual power in each of us combined in a meaningful relationship is awsome and a wonder to behold. Dr. Stein allows us to explore these special powers for a more meaningful and healthful lives of loving,respectful partners. Thank you Dr. Stein. Adalante. Stephen Sloan.

Freedom from Shame

I've always been a nice Catholic girl. Though I considered my attitudes about sex to be healthy and relatively liberal, there was always a part of me that was inhibited. Dr. Daniel Stein's book is helping me to explore vistas of my own sensual self that I feared when I was younger. What makes this book truly remarkable is that it's a medical doctor giving you permission to experience the oceans of your sexuality as a means to fill your soul and reaffirm your well-being. Somehow, when a gynecologist tells you something is OK, you listen.The first time I read PASSIONATE SEX, I cried like a baby because it made me realize that the only shame in sex is the shame of not exploring fully who we are. Dr. Stein gives us the light we need to discover the hidden passion within ourselves. If you're hungry to open up beyond the boundaries of old baggage you carry about sex, or if you're itching to rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit, read this book. It can change your life. It's certainly doing that for mine.Unlike so many self-help books that offer up the same old standard fare, PASSIONATE SEX delves into the subject of sexuality with complete abandon. Dr. Stein has the courage to tackle subjects that his more politically correct colleagues would shy away from. This book will not only show you how to fully realize the sexual being lying dormant inside you, but it will give you the strength and wisdom to empower that inner-being. PASSIONATE SEX offers freedom from shame.

The Mind, Body, Spirit connection we've been looking for

I was lucky enough to get an early copy of PASSIONATE SEX and found it to be the best book written on the subject of sexuality as it affects our health, happiness and longevity. After reading so many sex books written by jornalists, it was important to me to finally have a book written by a medical doctor.. It stresses that caring for one's sexual well-being is just as important to the mind and body as the food we eat, the medicine we take, and the exercise we do. Yet although we live in a society that is sex-oriented, most people are too embarrassed to discuss sex in a serious way. I would recommend this book to women or men who want the maximum out of life. It tells you how to find it.
