About the Authors

PREFACE

My partner and I wanted to write this book in part because thousands of my female patients have privately expressed their need to have more sexual energy, greater sexual sensation, or a deeper connection to their sexuality. And at my women’s health seminars, in Honolulu and internationally during the past two decades, my presentations on sexuality and pelvic health have often been the highlight. Women seem especially eager to discover more about how they can increase their sexual energy and vitality.

We also decided to write
Great Sex, Naturally
because many books on women’s sexuality focus on the mechanics of sex, but miss out on the big picture and don’t address where your libido comes from in the first place. In this book, we convey a more holistic view of women’s sexuality. As you read it, you’ll discover many ways in which sexual pleasure can be wholesome and profoundly healing, and your sexual energy can nourish your health and transform your body, mind, and spirit. This can be greatly beneficial if you currently have a healthy sexual drive and want to further enhance it—or if you have health issues preventing you from fully experiencing your sexuality.
