Read an Excerpt

Chapter 1: The Changing View of Normal Female Sexuality
In TODAY'S WORLD, young women expect to want sex with passion and enjoy it with abandon. A good sex life is regarded as a right that is taken for granted. With increasing recognition of women's rights in both the personal and public domains, women are no

Chapter 3: The Illusion of Sexual Individuality
Sexually, we like to think that we have it together, that we are more sophisticated and sexually aware now than at any other time in history. Yet, as we have seen, the current stereotype of normal, desirable sex is still quite narrow and rigid.



Book Description

Feel like you wouldn't care if you never had sex again? You're not alone. By far the largest group of people seeking sex therapy is women who feel there must be something wrong with them because they don't have the urgent sex drive that they believe everybody is supposed to have. In Perfectly Normal, Dr. Sandra Pertot dismisses that theory. She believes that there are many ordinary and logical reasons why you might not want to have sex--and provides practical solutions to everyday sexual problems. She doesn't offer a cure for low libido but rather an approach for making your sex life the best it can be with what you've got. In Perfectly Normal, you'll find specific tips on discovering your sexual potential, including how to:

• Explore your ability to have orgasms
• Stay focused during sex
• Practice fantasizing
• Appreciate your body
• Identify what gets you interested in sex-and what turns you off

Dr. Pertot also offers advice for you and your partner on developing your sexual relationship. She shows you how to take advantage of sensory, emotional, and environmental triggers that make it possible for you to develop a sex life that works for both of you-and will sustain you and your partner into old age.
