About this audiobook
"Love Worth Making is, hands down, the most practical, fun, and empowering book I've ever read on how to have a fabulous sex life in a commmitted relationship. It should be a must-read for every committed couple who wants to keep the spark alive for many years." — Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn and New York Times bestselling author of Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Wellbeing
From one of the nation's top sex therapists comes a paradigm-shifting audiobook guide to thinking about and enjoying sex and intimacy in committed, long-term relationships.
These are astonishing times for sex. With a click of the mouse you can learn the names for sex acts your grandparents never knew existed. But are people any happier in bed? Probably not. Research from the Kinsey Institute suggests that 25% of American women in heterosexual relationships are markedly distressed about their sex lives.
There’s no shortage of audiobooks these days on sex technique. But that’s not what most people are interested in. What they really want is to have great sex in a committed relationship, in which case all the technical expertise in the world won’t help you very much. For that, you need to understand sexual feelings—how they operate, what rules they follow, and how they connect to the rest of who you are.
Dr. Stephen Snyder's unique approach has helped over 1,500 individuals and couples master the erotic challenges of long-term relationships. Integrating the latest research on human sexuality with compelling stories from his 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples, Love Worth Making will help people of all ages and backgrounds master their sexual feelings, and enjoy them for life.

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be a mix of helpful and problematic. It provides specific couple therapies and valuable information, but also includes Freudian-style mumbo jumbo and perpetuates existing stereotypes. However, it offers real-life examples, easy-to-apply lessons, and helpful descriptions. Overall, it is a helpful book for long-time couples, but not the best choice for those seeking a single sexual well-being book.

This book was eye opening. I appreciated the specific couple therapies and being walked through their situations solutions. Many great nuggets of information to learn from! - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5

The books is filled with to many freudian style mumbo jumbo nonsense and leaps in logic. While there are some decent bits of advice, they tend to be buried and to far apart. The book starts off ok and then spirals into perpetuating existing stereotypes and using specific examples to validate them rather then to show the harm they cause. If you plan to only read one sexual well being book, make sure it's not this one. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5
