This book is for you if you want a fulfilling, healthy, exciting love and sex life 
...without being exhausted by rules, games or trying so hard

Honesty that Creates Connection 

Depending on how you communicate honesty, it can break or strengthen dates and relationships. Most of us never learned to be honest, in a way that creates emotionally connected, sexually satifying relationships. This makes it common to struggle in love. With a new understanding of honesty, you'll be able to create a fulfilling and exciting love and sex life.

What is Sex, Actually?

Most of us were taught a very limited definition of sex. As a result, people often feel uncomfortable talking about, or asking for their real desires. Sex becomes awkward or disappointing, rather than connected and exciting. When you learn to expand from a fast food sex life, to a gourmet sex life, you'll find that sex is nourishing and exhilarating, and becomes more so over time.  

Tools To Deepen Intimacy

Love and connection can deepen over time, but it's all too easy to get stuck in unsatisfying habits and relationship dynamics. Learn these six healthy relationship tools to create more trust, respect, and appreciation. These become the foundation for passion to ignite, on dates and stay alive in long term relationships, as long as you live. 

When it comes to sex and intimacy, truth telling can be the secret to liberating our capacity to love and live well. Shana knows this and shows us how. She demystifies the path to genuine pleasure and nourishing connections — fundamental human experiences we all deserve.
