Sex therapist, sociologist, and \u003cem\u003ePsychology Today\u003c\/em\u003e contributor Dr. Marty Klein goes beyond the sex manuals to reveal how our mindsets during sex are more important than any tricks or techniques—and that the way to a healthier, more exciting, more fulfilling sex life lies in first developing our sexual intelligence. This book is the antidote to the many gimmick-oriented sex guides and manuals; Dr. Klein shows us how to reorient how we think about sex in order to experience a truly different way of being sexual.\u003cp\u003e“Marty Klein is the Steve Jobs of sex advice. . . . \u003cem\u003eSexual Intelligence \u003c\/em\u003eis a work of enormous wisdom and expansiveness, and will inspire readers, regardless of age, to realize their full sexual potential.”  —Ian Kerner, best-selling author of \u003cem\u003eShe Comes First\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003eEnjoyable sex: it’s not about technique or a perfect body or being hopelessly, passionately in love. It’s about Sexual Intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his three decades of working with couples and individuals as a sex therapist and marriage counselor, Dr. Marty Klein has continually seen that although most people say what they want from sex is pleasure and closeness, that’s not what they focus on during sex. Instead, we’re preoccupied with how we look, what our partner is thinking, how we’re performing, and whether we’re “normal.” We do more thinking, worrying, and judging than \u003cem\u003eexperiencing\u003c\/em\u003e. Sex like that can’t thrill us, can’t create intimacy, and can’t, well, feel sexy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSexual Intelligenc\u003c\/em\u003ee, Klein shows how to stop observing ourselves during sex, ending our obsession with sexual performance and sexual normality. “I don’t help people ‘function’ better during sex,” he says. “I teach people how to relax and enjoy sex with the body they have, the partner they have, in the situation they have.” Now that’s something we all want: fulfilling, exciting sex at every stage of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSexual Intelligence\u003c\/em\u003e, Klein challenges our understanding of sex, love, intimacy, romance, and satisfaction. After all, sex isn’t just an activity. Change the way you \u003cem\u003ethink\u003c\/em\u003e about sex, and you can change your sex life—forever. \u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“If you read only one book on sex and relationships during your entire lifetime, this should be it.
