Professional Review:
What is your best tool for achieving the ultimate sexual pleasure? Your brain!

Everyone wants to know how to improve his or her love life, but so few of us understand the integral role the brain plays in getting us in the mood, keeping us excited about our partner, and helping us achieve greater satisfaction. Based on Dr. Daniel Amen’s cutting-edge research in practical neuroscience, Sex on the Brain shares twelve lessons that help you enhance your love and sex lives through understanding and improving brain function. Filled with practical suggestions and information on how to have better sex, Sex on the Brain reveals:

• How the differences between men’s and women’s brains affect our perceptions and interest in sex
• The science behind why breakups hurt so much, and what you can do to ease the pain
• Surefire techniques to fix common problems–depression, PMS, ADD–that get in the way of good sex
• How to tap into your senses–taste, touch, smell–and find “the spot”
• How sex can save your life

Sex on the Brain explains everything there is to know about the brain in love and lust, and shows you how to create a hot, healthy, and happy sex life.

 Rating 4   Written on August 24, 2007
   Summary: book for "brainiacs," but not necessarily for better boudoir action
This is a nice read, with a good blend of humor, research on the brain and hormones in our body, and the doctor's professional and personal experiences w/ others. Amen does a good job delivering his, and others', brain research, in a way anyone can understand. He is, however, a bit old-fashioned in his views on evolutionary thinking and gender stereotypes. There is also the occasional slip up on sex info., e.g., the claim that self-pleasuring can lead to excessive or addictive activity in vulnerable people. It's a pleasant read, however, if your main aim is to learn about the brain's role in passionate desire, attraction, and love.

 Rating 5   Written on August 23, 2007
   Summary: It all starts in your head
Not too much new but very thorough. Brain chemicals seem to be what causes attraction. And we thought we were picking our partners. Mother Nature is the real decider.

 Rating 5   Written on July 28, 2007
   Summary: ex-biochemist review - easily accessible, fascinating...
This is an excellent and very accessible book that primarily looks at what happens in the brain during love, lust, romance, paraphilias, etc. It has a lot of information in it, but it is not overly technical and accessible to the average person. Dr. Amen has a way of simplifying complicated concepts and weaving them into an engaging narrative.

What this book will give you as an understanding of the various parts of the brain and the role they play in our sex lives. It also includes supplements that could be helpful when some areas are over or under active and even typical medications that are used.

The scope of the book is pretty large and covers things like impulsive thoughts, sexual addiction, paraphelias (fetishes), cheating behavior, etc. Anyone who has a sex life will find it very interesting and informative and it will also help you to understand yourself.

Two complimentary books to this one that I highly recommend are: The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating and The Erotic Mind: Unlocking the Inner Sources of Passion and Fulfillment. These books cover the psychology and some of the evolutionary patterns that gave rise to the way we are hardwired around sex. You can read my review and other reviews to get a better sense of the content, I can't do either book justice in this small space.


 Rating 1   Written on March 16, 2007
   Summary: Disappointing. Waste of time.
The author wrote a book on sexuality, while considerably lacking knowledge about women and female sexuality.

 Rating 1   Written on February 18, 2007
   Summary: Not too sexy here
Pat Califa wrote, "Our culture insists on sexual uniformity and does not acknowledge any neutral difference only crimes, sins, disease and mistakes."

Such we see represented in Dr. Amen's book. Dr. Amen makes reference to what he considers normal sexually in his book. Like so many clinicians and diastognicians his normality is of a vanilla world. Anything outside of that is referred to as an imbalance in the brain or a disorder. My own research has been focused on debunking the myths about sexuality that are perpetuated in this book. The chapter on addictions and fetishes lacks any creative thinking whatsoever. Unfortunately I returned the book to the bookstore due to the limited thinking represented here.

Sincerely,
Ilona Paris, LMHC
