Sex – Don’t Kick the Habit!<br />
How Women Can Get More Out of Sex<br />
No sex in the city?<br />
You probably know the scenario. The washing machine has flooded, the kids are fighting, your husband forgot<br />
to do the shopping, and you still need to go through your lecture notes … You flop into bed exhausted.<br />
And now sex as well? No thanks, no desire whatsoever…<br />
There’s a broad spectrum of passion-killers: the stress of daily life, arguments with your partner, psychological<br />
problems, and medication or physical conditions being the most common causes. But there’s no need for<br />
women to accept these assaults on their libido or to let them spoil their fun. With candour and sensitivity,<br />
as well as the odd witty aside thrown in for good measure, the knowledgeable team of authors encourages<br />
women to take a close look at their sex-lives and perhaps explore new avenues. So that for women sex can<br />
become the most wonderful source of enjoyment in the world once again.<br />
Birgit Frohn, a biologist and science journalist, has written several books on medicine, nutrition, alternative<br />
medicine and psychology.<br />
Claudia Praxmayer, a biologist, has spent 12 years working as a public relations consultant in the field<br />
of medicine, pharmacology and health.<br />
