SEX POINTS

Bat Sheva Marcus

Reclaim Your Sex Life with the Revolutionary Multi-Point System

In Sex Points, the "Queen of Vibrators" and the "Orthodox Sex Guru" shares her easy, proven system to help women have a healthy, robust sex life.
Dr. Marcus believes a healthy, fulfilling sex life is a right for all women. But many women don't quite believe that themselves; they think that a diminished sex drive is natural, pain during sex is to be expected, and no orgasms?...well, too bad! As a veteran sex therapist, Dr. Marcus has seen everything and knows firsthand that all that is rubbish.

Most of the books you find on how to have a good sex life focus on emotional intimacy and behavior--or, like the Cosmo quizzes say, sexy lingerie and a beach vacation. But there's more to it than that. For most women, while there are relationship and emotional components that are critical to a healthy sex life, there is also a hefty physiological or medical component driving their desire. And until you know what's really going on, all the lingerie and sexy couples' time won't really help. Your sex life is complex, made up many different aspects of your life; these variables shift and change over time--and all the variables need to work together to make your sex life work.

Sex Points is the first book that helps women and identify analyze for themselves what factors are affecting their sex life and then gives a wide variety of ways to approach different problems. The book breaks down these variables in an easy-to-use system--one that uses a threshold of 100 points for a healthy sex life. Divided into four key areas--pain, arousal, libido, and orgasm--each variable has its own point value. Dr. Marcus' proprietary assessment, The Sex Points Assessment, helps readers determine exactly what is keeping them from having a great sex life. Specific chapters address the issues with practical suggestions. Whatever it is, the points system gives a concrete picture of the situation and the tools to fix it.

Covering everything from how to choose a vibrator to recapturing orgasms, to rekindling lust, embracing taboo fantasies, and parsing complicated relationships, to what sex really means (hint: it's not just intercourse!), Sex Points is a revelatory guide to ensure women get the rich sex life they deserve.

Licensed clinical social worker Bat Sheva Marcus has a faith-based frame of reference: she's a past president of the Jewish Orthodox Feminist Alliance and was dubbed "the Orthodox sex therapist" by the New York Times. But her book, Sex Points, has a broad, secular vision in addressing women's sexual taboos. She helps readers identify the relational, emotional, physiological, or medical components driving their desire, and offers a "sex points assessment" system that assigns a numerical value to key areas - pain, arousal, libido, orgasm - to help determine what's inhibiting or hindering sex.
