Sexual Intimacy in Marriage III

The third edition of Sexual Intimacy in Marriage hit the market this week. We added more than sixty pages this time around. Most of them we devote to new research available on women's sexuality, and we also expanded the workbook section designed to help couples communicate.

Here's a sampling of new material: "By contrast, the Masters and Johnson model, which accurately depicts the male sexual response, falls short in describing the complex female response. . . Each woman is a unique creation. Many women have felt “pressure” to achieve a particular type of response, within a certain time framework... [Newer models] define satisfaction using words such as emotional closeness, commitment, bonding, affection and acceptance. This fits nicely with our working definition of intimacy, being fully known, fully loved, without fear of rejection."

You can tell the new version from previous ones by the raised gold lettering on the cover.
