Customer Reviews

Worth your time! And about more than sex.

This book is terrific and I highly recommend it. It goes beyond its stated goal of helping you achieve the sex life you want. It's really about overcoming any number of self-esteem issues that you can undertake on your own to become a more authentic, self-actualized person -- which, naturally, will also put you in closer touch with your erotic center. It's clearly one of the wisest, most responsible and intelligent self-help books I've ever read. And, believe it or not, I think any guy with self-esteem, sexuality or authenticity issues can learn from it also.

It's the best!

Written by none other than one of the savviest sexdox around. Dr. Joy has written a truly valuable book about how to be an empowered woman, avoid the pitfalls of obsessive going-nowhere relationships and stay sexually alive and flourish. I love the idea that any woman can be a fearless and smart "babe." I can't think of a better way for women to learn how to be their esxual best...please feel free to read about it on my site at: www.yoursexcoach.com, too...all best, Dr. Patti

A Must-Have Book for Women

As a woman and a mental health professional, I believe this book is a necessary book for all women who want to explore, touch and know their full selves. It approaches the topics of women's sensuality and eroticism as a necessary part of being a woman rather than something that would be nice if only we had the time. Dr. Davidson's approach is intelligent, full of humor, holistic and expansive. I have used this book personally and refer it to all my female clients. Here we can see what a strong, intelligent, sensual woman who is not afraid of her sexuality can look like! Thank you for this book!

Fabulous, Freeing and Fearless!

I totally loved this book. It was a breath of fresh air among so many books on sex that say basically the same thing, or repeat the same bedroom advice in different words. I read Fearless Sex because I heard the author on the radio being interviewed about why so many women lose interest in sex after they've been in relationships or married for a while. She talked about what we can do to get more pleasure and satisfaction for ourselves and her message resonated strongly for me. Reading the book was an eye-opener beyond anything I even expected, and the advice has already made a huge difference in my relationship.

HONEST, INSPIRING, AND POWERFUL!

Here is a book to make you re-think your assumptions about sex, love, and yourself. The first third is about understanding how to balance loving someone else and loving yourself -- no easy task, but the author shows you how. She outlines patterns of reacting or "obsessing" that contaminate our ability to approach our partners with clear boundaries, both psychologically and sexually. She does a great job of walking us through the task of holding ourselves steady and being caring but self-possessed when the pressure is on. She is clearly rooting for us, the reader, while giving us a new way of looking at ourselves. The writing is polished, witty and lucid, spiced with juicy and relatable stories. The second two thirds of the book goes into more detail about sexuality and sensuality -- from an eye-opening chapter on developing your "erotic 7th sense" to one on fantasies that will leave you breathless, to the best section on s/m I've ever read; one that helped me see that what real people do or fantasize has no bearing on the skewed depictions of kinky sex that the media or the right-wing likes to exploit. There is a wealth of information here on getting and enhancing pleasure, and the reader never feels judged for her choices or pressured to adopt any particular standards except the ones that, as the author says, "are derived from within." The point seems to be to empower women by giving them a bounty of information about making their sex lives and relationships thrive. Along the way, the reader is likely to jettison a lot of negative ideas about sexuality (as well as her own harsh inner voice) that are often taken for granted in a culture that pays lip service to sexual freedom on the one hand, and is scared to death of sexy, vibrant women on the other (unless they're fictional characters on TV, of course!). Even though this is a totally hip and enjoyable read, it is also a serious, timely, and potentially life-changing book. What I love the most is that this book is about US: that is, about women. It's all about what we think and feel and what we need and how to get it - rather than about men, and what they think and feel and need. Enough of that, already!
