About this item
It is time for a new sexual revolution. It's time to take sexy back.The very notion of sexual pleasure has long been hijacked from women. Today's sexual climate leaves little to no space for honoring the complexities of sex - sex as pleasure, sex as connection, sex as creative expression, sex as communication, and sex as healing. This is particularly true for young women navigating today's dating world, who need to be able to identify which sexual choices feel authentic, pleasurable, and joyful, and which ones leave them feeling "less-than."In Taking Sexy Back, relationship expert Alexandra Solomon - author of Loving Bravely - offers a powerful and holistic approach to help you reclaim your sexuality, communicate your desires, draw boundaries, be safe, and build the satisfying relationships you truly want.
