Practical ideas and strategies
"• Pursuing what you say you want from sex;
"• Eliminating your performance orientation, making sex a place to relax instead of a place to succeed (or fail);
"• Abandoning the question of whether you or your partner are sexually normal;
"• The importance of communicating about sex — and how to do it effectively;
"• Realistic sexual physiology: accepting that arousal can fluctuate, sexual response often changes with age, and emotions affect the way your body responds before and during sex;
"• The importance of bodily attunement before and during sex, and the value of slowing down to help facilitate it;
"• The mistake of identifying certain body parts as 'erogenous zones';
"• The importance of preparing for and coming to terms with the fact that sex may be different as you move forward in life, so you can enjoy it;
"• The importance of focusing on sexual enjoyment rather than sexual function."
