About this audiobook
Women: gain control and confidence in your love lives and find the relationship you want with this modern, life-changing guide from the certified sex educator, intimacy expert, and YouTube personality.
For younger generations, dating is a complicated mystery. Apps like Tinder and Bumble are supposed to foster connection, but instead serve as a reminder of how painfully single we are.Certified sexologist and intimacy coach Shan Boodram—the most sought-after sex educator on the internet—is about to change all that. In this essential how-to guide, she addresses the realities of life today—when the rules of love and attraction are fluid—and teaches a group of young women how to become master daters in just sixty days.
It starts with you. Shan makes clear that love and self-discovery go hand in hand—your dating life is just as much about you as it is about other people. She challenges you to look inside yourself for what you want out of a partner, a relationship and, most important, yourself. Once you figure out what you want from dating, she shows you exactly how to get it. The Game of Desire empowers you to take the lead, learn your strengths, and identify and correct your weaknesses, all the while getting inspired watching a group of women learn how to succeed in today’s dating pool.
While many books tell women why they can’t get a date, Shan teaches you the skills and techniques necessary to take charge in today’s competitive and often confusing dating scene, providing the tools essential to attract—and retain—the partner(s) you want. From learning love languages to debunking dating myths, she helps women build knowledge and confidence.
Featuring conversational case studies, comprehensive facts about the psychology of sex and romance, and expert insight into sex culture, and written with her trademark humor and charm, The Game of Desire is a must for all of Shan’s fans and for every woman struggling to feel loved and desired.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is not only well written and we'll narrated, but it is also just genuinely insightful. The almost step by step process is genius. The way the story is told had me rooting for these women and wanting to join them in their process. I will definitely be re reading this book and going through it step by step.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5You have to change physically and your personality to be able to date someone. Is it worth it? Not for me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was so insightful and detailed! It felt so personal !
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Professional production. Mostly aimed at women but interesting for men too. The author has a great speaking voice.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Picked this up out of curiosity. The book relates how Shan Boodram a sexologist takes a group of dating challenged women and works with them and trains them to become more successful in the endeavor and as people. Ho-hum it had its moments, just not that many. The women all carry some quirk or trait that challenges them and Shan sets up a boot camp like process to get them to seize the upper hand on the rough and tumble of dating and relationship building. There are times and episodes that are cringe worthy and that most of us may have experienced that definitely takes us out of the comfort zone. And that is pretty much life, if one chooses to participate.
