The Sex You Want: A Shameless Journey to Deep Intimacy, Honest Pleasure, and a Life You Love

From deputy district attorney (as a sex crimes prosecutor) to women’s intimacy coach, Martine understands the laws of desire in intimate ways, and she’s written a guide for women who are ready to learn how to build a secure relationship with themselves so they can explore their sexual desires and needs. With personal narratives and honest stories from other women, she’s created a guide to sexual exploration that ventures beyond the monotonous—and the monogamous—in ways that may surprise some readers without ever being exploitative or explicit. Martine’s first book is as much a deep dive into the traumas and traditions that impact people’s sexuality as it is a book about sexual pleasure, and it helps reframe the stories that people tell about themselves, their bodies, and their relationships to help them enjoy sex without shame. The provided tips, about everything from dating apps to BDSM, will help readers wanting to learn more.
