Synopsis "Better sex Through Mindfulness: How Women can Cultivate Desire"

The #1 Book Recommended by Sex Therapists Around the World A Cosmopolitan "Best Book About Sex That Everyone Should Read" A New York Times "Book for Better Sex" "A book full of wisdom, kindness, permission, and hope."-Emily Nagoski, bestselling author of Come as You Are In Better Sex Through Mindfulness, acclaimed psychologist and sex researcher Dr. Lori Brotto shows how mindfulness is the key to cultivating desire, increasing sexual pleasure, and finding joy in intimacy. Studies show that approximately half of all women experience some kind of sexual difficulty at one point in their lives, with lack of interest in sex being by far the most common―and the most distressing. And when sex suffers, so do all other areas of life. But it doesn't have to be that way. In Better Sex through Mindfulness, Dr. Brotto offers a revolutionary approach to improving desire, arousal, and satisfaction inside―and outside of―the bedroom. A pioneer in the use of mindfulness for treating sexual difficulties, Brotto has helped hundreds of women cultivate more exciting, fulfilling sexual experiences. In this accessible, relatable book, she explores the various reasons for sexual problems, such as stress and incessant multitasking, and tells the stories of many of the women she has treated over the years. She also provides easy, effective exercises that readers can do on their own to increase desire and sexual enjoyment, whether their goal is to overcome a sexual difficulty or simply give their love life a boost.

Emily Nagoski is a sexual educator and American author, known for her scientific and accessible approach to female sexuality. She earned her PhD in Health Behavior with a specialization in Human Sexuality at Indiana University, where she also completed a master's in Educational Counseling. Before fully dedicating herself to writing and dissemination, she was the director of Wellness Education at Smith College.

Her most influential book, Come as You Are (2015), explores the science behind sexual desire, challenging common myths about female sexuality. Nagoski introduces concepts such as the "brakes" and "accelerator" of desire, emphasizing that the emotional and physical context is crucial for the sexual response. The work has been acclaimed for its accessible and empathetic tone, becoming a reference in sexual education.

In 2019, she co-wrote Burnout with her sister Amelia Nagoski, addressing stress and burnout from a scientific and feminist perspective. The book offers strategies for managing stress and completing the "stress cycle," especially in women facing social and work pressures.

Her most recent work, Come Together (2024), delves into how couples can build and maintain lasting sexual connections, prioritizing pleasure and communication over frequency or performance.

In addition to her books, Nagoski maintains an active presence on social media, where she shares educational resources and reflections on sexuality, well-being, and mental health.
