Book - 2024

"Combining over fifteen years of clinical experience with her groundbreaking research into the science of flow, Dr. Emily Jamea's ANATOMY OF DESIRE delivers a fresh perspective on the untapped potential of our sex lives, intimate partner connections, and personal wellbeing. "Dr. Emily Jamea makes difficult issues simple and accessible via her central tenet that expressing our authentic sexual selves is not about venturing into the unknown but rather searching within ourselves and tapping into our innate, albeit uncultivated, sexual potential. Dr. Emily guides us on this journey with care and curiosity" - Ian Kerner, PhD LMFT, NY Times best-selling author of She Comes First The experience of effortlessness, total absorpti...on, and loss of space and time are feelings that everyone wants to enjoy while making love. However, regardless of everyone's desire for better sex, passion and sexual satisfaction tend to diminish in longer-term relationships. This is a problem because studies consistently show that sexual satisfaction is key to relationship satisfaction. Great sex is something we all deserve. As a seasoned sex and relationship therapist, Dr. Emily Jamea has developed a unique approach for boosting sexual desire and pleasure. Anatomy of Desire identifies five secrets (sensuality, curiosity, adaptability, vulnerability, and attunement) that help her clients transform sex from sub-par to extraordinary. Woven through each secret is the science of "flow state." Drawing from her first-of-its-kind published research, Dr. Emily teaches readers how to apply the science of flow to get the sex they want despite the challenges of today's modern world. Clients, workshop participants, and hundreds of thousands of social media followers have already benefited from her approach. Dr. Emily Jamea's debut book, Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion makes her novel approach available to everyone"--

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Sex therapist Jamea weaves research and client stories into a solid debut guide to keeping intimacy alive in long-term relationships. According to the author, doing so involves achieving sexual "flow," the state of complete focus and absorption in an activity where both parties become "one with whatever you're doing." To get there, readers can work on tapping into their senses through mindfulness exercises and breath work, as well as developing a "sensual eating" practice. Couples are also encouraged to cultivate curiosity by discussing what they're experiencing in other areas of life and exploring ways to use their sexual connection to fulfill those emotional needs. While some chapters connect more convincingly to the author's central concept than others--for instance, it's made clear how curiosity can foster flow by helping couples reach the ideal blend of satisfaction and challenge, while the link between adaptability and flow is more obscure--Jamea's robust research, nonjudgmental approach, and enthusiasm for the topic makes this a worthwhile guide. Couples looking to reignite their spark will want to check it out. (Nov.)
