Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: In contrast to its tabloid title, The Sex-Starved Marriage offers candid and sensible counsel for couples with mismatched libidos. Seasoned sex therapist Michele Weiner-Davis skewers two stereotypes about sex in marriage. First, she jettisons the idea that husbands are hot and wives are not, giving examples of "low-desire" men in her practice. Next, she upends the longstanding model of sexual response and advises readers: "Just do it. Desire is a decision. Once the low-interest partner allows him/herself to be touched and aroused, this will trigger a strong desire to continue being sexual." The strength of her approach to the causes of sexual stalemate lies in her insights about the struggles of both partners. Her suggestions (how to break the ice, how to court your partner, nag busting, and the Hallmark solution) are not gimmicky and are presented as techniques for couples, not individuals. Weakened only by a final chapter--one that discloses too many details about the author's marriage--this perceptive book will inspire couples to add heat and light to their marriage. --Barbara Mackoff

Customer Reviews
Sex and marriage
This book really gave me a boost. It also helped me see that I don't always handle this situation the best way. I am going to re-read it and ask my husband to read it too. It really is a guide for couples, just like the title suggests.
I also recommend my favorite book I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't

Big help to my marriage
This book can be a little redundant at times but still delivers great information. There are so many examples of things that are probably happening in your relationship right now (if you've been married as long as I have) that you'll find yourself saying, "That's me"! My wife and I are very different from each other regarding physical needs and this book helped open our eyes to the negative issues preventing intimacy. Nobody's perfect and there's still lots of work to do but at least this book got the dialog going in a positive direction.

STARVED FOR USABLE SEX INFORMATION
This writer takes a practical view toward sex in marriage. It is ridiculous to expect people who have been married to experience fireworks everytime they make love. It is not only ridiculous, but unrealistic. That's why I appreciated the information in this book. Sex (or desire) is, like love, a choice that we make. If we choose to make love to our husband or wife, the desire will follow. What a marvelous concept! Finally, some usuable information about marital sex. If you want to become even more intimate with your spouse, I would also recommend Was that an earthquake? The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. It will make a huge difference in your marital sexual satisfaction.

Taught me to listen
My husband and I went to through a dry patch. He was stressed by our financial situations and kind of put our love life in the back seat. The stories taught me that the higher sexed individual just wanted to get things back to what it used to be but didn't really listen to the spouse. I figured that if I let my husband rest and show him how much I cared, he would come around and we'd be together. It took a while but it worked. Now we're great, relationships are stressful sometimes and just because you're a couple doesn't mean you're the same person. We feel and react to things differently. We should put ourselves in the other person's shoes and be understanding.
