Book Description
Based on the help she has provided for the thirty to forty couples a week she has seen in her twenty years of clinical practice as a sexual therapist, Dr. Sandra R. Scantling has written a new erotic guide to restoring the vital connections that bring couples together and make it possible for them to enjoy extraordinary sex. This is not a sex manual; it is a book about achieving true intimacy--both in and out of the bedroom
Great sex is not dependent on being able to achieve contortionist positions or finding that elusive G-Spot; it is based, rather, on couples' becoming aware of those ineffable forces that originally brought them together--forces that may have been based on differences rather than similarities in style and personality, forces that now may be pulling these same people apart. Having achieved an understanding of these forces, they will be better able to communicate, achieve intimacy, and enjoy extraordinary sex. The first step toward understanding is self-awareness, and Dr. Scantling has devised a simple but accurate paradigm of the four basic personality types: Energizers, Stabilizers, Workers, and Pleasure-seekers. Through storytelling, anecdotes, and an easy-to-complete quiz, readers will learn to identify their own personalities and sexual styles--as well as those of their partners--and so to understand why they each behave as they do and--above all--how they can each modify their styles to achieve Extraordinary Sex Now.
This is an inspirational, must-have guide for any couple seeking to rekindle their passion. Dr. Scantling proves that lovemaking need never grow dull--that it can be an ongoing, joyous event, now and for the rest of our lives.

 Fantastic book with very helpful information February 1, 2008
I thought this book was very helpful. I actually read this book from cover to cover. I usually fall asleep with most books after the first chapter or two but this one kept my attention and I found it very helpful in understanding why and how my husband and I react and respond to each other. I could see each one of our personalities by reading this book and have found new ways to deal with difficult situations and even better how to improve our love life.

I'd still be married if only I'd found this book much earlier! Communication is all important, but you can get by without it, for a time. If you are looking to have the most incredible sex of your life, and are open-minded, this book is for you!!! My present partner and I are ALWAYS surprised at how deep and meaningful every encounter is. Even the 'quickies!!
Excellent Guide to Help Better Understand Both of You June 17, 2000

The first 125 pages or so described my marriage to a tee! I can honestly say that if both of us had read this book we might still be married. That is a HUGE statement to make about a book, and obviously both parties have to WANT to change, but I believe this book can help. The book breaks down the typical men and women are different writings that are so prevelant nowadays. Yes we are different. But why are we different? How are we different? Dr. Scantling makes the argunment that there are four different sexual styles and each has it's own description, M.O., definition, traits and style. After reading her description it was fairly easy to figure out what I am. But, I found that I also had the traits of the other three styles as well. THAT is what is so key to this book. It provides the ability for the reader to not only identify with one's self but with one's mate. It is like having the answers to the SAT prior to taking the test. It also gives key talking points that can be used to open up a dialogue between you and your mate.I highly suggest you pick this book up if your marriage or relationship is in trouble. As I stated in my opening paragraph, if I had this about 18-20 months ago I might have not gotten divorced. Keep the lines of communication open between both of you, don't demeen your partner, remember why you married them and most of all - BOTH OF YOU MUST WANT TO DO THIS.

This is one of the worst sexual help books I've read. She doesn't even address ISD (inhibitied Sexual Desire) which is a common problem among women my age (25-30), instead she talks about some group therapy nonsense and psuedo-animal roles via sexual archtypes. YAWN. This book educates no one. It seems like this doctor helped out some friends of hers through a rough patch and now she considers herself an expert. Kudos to the promotion people for the design and hype of the book...please DO NOT JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER!
Outstanding!Instructive,Insightful & full of practical hints May 31, 1999

As a clinician, and sex therapist treating couples for over 20 years I often recommend, Dr. Scantling's book to anyone seeking more passion in their relationship. It is full of practical ideas for individuals and couples who want to deepen their capacity for intimacy .
