Sex Lives of Wives: Reigniting the Passion
"A former attorney and a mother of two, Hollenbeck offers a  refreshing look at a sometimes tired topic: the sexual possibilities of a  marriage or long-term relationship. Instead of the standard how-to manual,  she provides women who are tired of habitual or obligatory sex with a  discourse of why-why committed partners may become bored in the bedroom,  why women owe it to themselves and their mates to seek passion and  excitement continually, and why married sex can and should be mind-blowing.  Using the extended metaphor of a journey, Hollenbeck invites readers to  join her and the half-dozen thirty- to fifty-something women she profiles  in becoming "passion seekers." She recommends what attitudes to take and  what emotional baggage to leave behind, how to plan a fantastic journey of  passion, and what sexual destinations women should consider visiting with  their partners. Good for ideas and motivation for increasing "that feels  great!" moments in any marriage bed; recommended." --Erica L. Foley, Flint P.L., MI for Library Journal, August 2006, Volume 131, No. 13."Every generation there is a book which opens a new level of  understanding in the sexuality field. In 2006, Sex Lives of Wives is that  book. This informal book has the crucially important role of helping women  find their own sexual voice, with a special emphasis on playfulness and  passion." --Barry W.
