    5.0 out of 5 stars A mature, direct, and even humorous look at what it means to be truly intimate with your spouse
    Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    Don't be put off by negative reviews - this book does not endorse an "anything goes" philosophy to sex acts within marriage. What it DOES endorse is making sex a matter of thoughtful discussion, open communication, and spiritual inquiry.

    And that's as it should be. As the authors themselves point out, which specific sexual behaviors a couple chooses to engage in is highly personal and should not be dictated by obscure church leader quotes taken out of context. Rather than looking for a list of "approved" sexual behaviors, couples should give themselves permission and space to determine what works best for them through trial and error, patience, forgiveness, and humor.

    In short, this book is a much-needed step towards removing the taboo of sexual discussion from LDS culture. Highly recommended.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Aimed at a 6th grade reader
    Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    This book is aimed at a very technically limited audience. The writing style reflects an older social frame. For example, it relies heavily on metaphor when talking about the human body or mechanics of sexual intercourse. If you can handle real labels and don't need to pretend (one supposes to avoid embarrassment) then look for another book. If not, well then this book is for you.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A great book that helped my spouse and I communicate about intimacy (not just physical intimacy) and become more unified.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    A very good book. I really enjoy the questions at the end of the chapter. My wife and I read the book together and discussed the questions at the end. These discussions really helped me feel a greater level of intimacy with her. Some people have criticized the book but I challenge anyone to just pick up this book and read it for yourself. It can't hurt you to read it and I would argue that the conversations you will have with your spouse in response to the end of chapter questions make this book worth it for any couple.

    mostly for the LDS reader but I think anyone would benefit from reading it. Would be good for young LDS or Christian couples who are planning on getting married or fairly new at marriage. Succint and to the point which I think is a positive.
