Often I will recommend to my women patients with low desire (in addition to other medical stuff we’re working on- and as they start feeling less resistant) that it is good to learn to get yourself turned on. And if you can get into the habit of getting yourself turned on a couple of times during the day (even for a minute or two or three) it seems to get your body ready and more willing to have sex. And a good way to do this is to buy a sexy book and read it in snatches. And then often women ask “well what do you recommend?” And there I get kind of stuck. Because what one person finds really hot someone else finds laughable and what turns one woman on can make another woman yawn. So I really recommend you look through a few books and find what floats your boat. And then women ask where to get erotica… and I say, “do what I do,– buy it off amazon.” So here are a couple of suggestions. Nancy Friday’s “A Secret Garden” (an old classic with short viniettes.) Lonnie Barbach – “: Pleasures “(this is a compilation of women’s real stories) and a new one a patient recommended which we thought was great “Aqua Erotica” believe it or not, this one’s waterproof. (Okay, I’ll admit it. When I ordered this book I thought I was going to get one of those kiddie bath tub books, you know the ones with the puffy pages that have ducks on them. )Turns out this looks like a normal book. The pages are a bit thicker but not really noticably so. It’s kind of a cool concept, although I am suspicious that if you actually drop the book in a bathtub the pages will warp. I think it just doesn’t get all weird from the steam.
Happy reading!
