In this remarkable new book, Dr. David Schnarch, world-renowned sex and marital therapist and author of Passionate Marriage, offers a groundbreaking approach to resolving sexual difficulties and the relationship problems they cause. By showing couples how they can turn their worst sex and relationship disasters into personal growth and spiritual connection, Dr. Schnarch offers couples the best sex of their lives.
In addition to taking an unflinchingly honest, realistic, and erotic approach to sex, Dr. Schnarch reveals the complicated emotional interactions hidden within couples' most private moments. Resurrecting Sex speaks of compassion, partnership, generosity, and integrity in adult sexual relationships, offering hope to millions of people — golden-anniversary marriages, newly formed couples, and singles alike — who are struggling with sexual difficulties.
Uplifting, provocative, and heartfelt, the book is organized into four sections:
Resurrecting Sex addresses all major sexual issues, including male erection problems such as rapid orgasm and delayed orgasm; women's problems with arousal and lubrication, difficulty reaching orgasm, and low desire; full coverage of Viagra (for both men and women); and other sex-enhancing drugs and medical options. Rather than dwelling on sexual techniques, this sympathetic book shows how to cure the rejection, hostility, and emotional alienation that often accompany sexual problems. Its unique method helps couples develop the love, affection, and commitment that prevent divorce and strengthen families.
Generous of spirit, enlightened, and insightful, Resurrecting Sex is destined to make the world a better place to fall in love.

I found the ideas expressed in this book to be refreshing--the author stresses personal understanding and growth rather than relying on a pill to improve a couple's sexual relationship. Hope to use the information in the spirit in which it was written.

I Also Recommend:
David starts the book off with a long section of what to expect later in the book which got me pumped for what was ahead, but what I found was a jungle of mind twisting situations he had encountered with his clients.
I found the book to be confusing and the opposite of straightforward. I feel that my sex life does need a resurrection which is the reason I picked up this book, but it really just made sex out to be much more complicated then I believe it needs to be.
If you want to spend the next few years analyzing sex until your head hurts, I highly recommend this book, but if you want a straightforward book that will get you started right away down a path to healthy sex, I recommend: "The complete idiot's guide to amazing sex".
Don't let the cover or title fool you into thinking that it's a cheap book of simple tricks. This book will truely help you resurrect you sex life and shine light on issues you and your partner are having. I recommend reading this book with your partner.
