Through her private practice and long-running German TV series Make Love, couples therapist Henning has talked with partners of diverse identities and sexual orientations. In frank detail, she provides an inside view into the many common sexual issues clients bring into her office in an attempt not only to let readers know they’re not alone, but to teach some of the thought patterns and techniques that can enable a more honest relationship and stronger performance. Henning discusses everything from erectile dysfunction and pornography to childhood experiences and narcissism in relationships and does so using real-life examples to pique interest and illustrate her points.

VERDICT A refreshingly open and honest book about a topic of great interest to pretty much everyone.
