Streszczenie książki

Stephen Snyder, MD is a sex and couples therapist, psychiatrist, and writer in New York City. He’s an Associate Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mt.

The primary idea conveyed in these bites is this: When your sexual desires are in opposition, don't try to force them; rather, practice acceptance. While engaging in sexual activity with a partner, it is your responsibility to create the right circumstances for your own arousal. Sex should never feel like a duty. If you are more focused on pleasing your partner and not enjoying yourself, they will not experience your passion. The best sex occurs when both partners prioritize their own needs. If you encounter difficulties in your relationship, try to manage feelings of sadness or disappointment without overreacting. Doing so will allow you to approach your partner calmly and assertively. As a bonus piece of advice: Do not pay attention to your emotional Automatic Negative Thoughts (ANTs). One common reason for losing interest in sex is the overwhelming presence of negative, recurring self-critical thoughts. These ANTs grab hold of attention, making it challenging to be fully present during intimate moments. While many sex advice resources suggest using affirmations to replace ANTs, the author prefers a different approach. He recommends acknowledging these negative thoughts when they arise, accepting them, and then moving forward. Want to introduce to your colleagues? Did you know we also offer corporate subscriptions?
