The bestselling author of The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex helps women understand what goes on between men's ears when they're between the sheets
Noted sex educator Barbara Keesling presents a much needed toolkit for women seeking a more satisfying sex life with their men. She explains the physical and psychological causes of common (and not so common) male sexual concerns-including lack of desire, longevity and erection problems, issues stemming from age, stress, alcohol and substance abuse, and sex addiction-and suggests what a woman can do to help. Packed with anecdotes, sex positions, hands-on techniques, and advice on how to have effective conversations with a partner without triggering insecurity, Men in Bed is an essential troubleshooting guide for all women.
Best known as a sexologist and therapist, Keesling (The Good Girl's Guide to Bad Girl Sex) has also been a sex surrogate, a university professor, a talk-show guest, and the subject of a Playboy pictorial. Here, she provides another frank and explicit bedside reference guide for women, addressing much of the confusion and uncertainty they may encounter in their sexual relationships. Writing in an unambiguous yet warmly conversational style including numerous exercises and hands-on techniques, she discusses the issues, motivations, and concerns experienced by the Overexcited Man, the Uninterested Man, the Sex Addict, etc. She also draws on her own years of experience and includes frequent, illustrative anecdotes showing today's modern woman the best ways to encourage, support, and communicate with her man. Keesling's empathetic and supportive attitude toward men's challenges makes this helpful conversation starter a refreshing addition to comprehensive sex manual collections.
