"Great Sex is a sanctuary in a high-stress world". I love that motto.

The true value in this book is the insight into your partners' psyche along with your own. So often sex books are full of techniques, rub this while blowing sexily on that and then so on and so forth. This book is entirely from a different perspective, a more thoughtful perspective steeped in the reality of long term relationships. The title of chapter one pretty much sets the tone for the whole book, "Great Sex Begins with the Right Attitude". If you want more from a sex book than just the mechanical techniques of specific manipulations I whole hearted recommend, Secrets of Sexual Ecstasy. The authors tell you from the very beginning that sexual ecstasy is ambiguous because ecstasy is individual somewhat like a person's preference in any other matter aside from sex. Here is an incredible volume of knowledge every couple should read if for no other reason but to gain insight on how your personal reactions affect your partners outlook on sex and you. So often we, as people, are too involved with our own emotions to really tap into the emotions of our partner and this book really helps to open your eyes at how your partner reacts to your choices and circumstances. I don't want to discourage you from reading this book talking solely on the incredible insight because you will find many answers to things never discussed in other sex books. Of course, Secrets to Sexual Ecstasy gently moves you through the idea that with new relationships when the sex is still very brand new are far different from long term relationships where lust is often something you have to re-invigorate from time to time. This book helps people realize that changes in a relationship doesn't mean its over but that with change brings both challenges and rewards that new relationships lack. Hopefully with a long-term relationship your comfort in sex is far better than in the beginning giving you a great foundation to create ecstasy for you and your partner. Unlike lots of other books on sex this book concentrates on the most important sex organ, the brain. The brain is your sexual epicenter. All your preconceived ideas and notions are in the brain so it's safe to say all your inhibitions, attitudes, fantasies, and holdovers from childhood lie in your brain. So the first order in this book is to address your attitudes on sex and pleasure. Once you have addressed some of your own personal issues regarding sex the book takes you into your relationship to help you reconnect or strengthen the bond with your partner so you can achieve sexual ecstasy. Now that you've taken care of your brains attitude and resolved some of the relationship issues that hold you back from sexual ecstasy Secrets to Sexual Ecstasy does take you down the road to orgasm and how to maximize your sexual experience. One of the great points the book makes is that intercourse is not necessarily the best outcome to ecstasy and I have to agree. Some of the best sex I ever had was immersed in the simple delight of
