"Libido maintenance is complicated," admits Judith Reichman, M.D., the frank "hormone maven" you've seen on PBS, The Today Show, and Oprah!. Few physicians are able to help or are comfortable helping women whose dwindling sexual urge interferes with sexual pleasure, intimacy, and expression of affection. I'm Not in the Mood examines the medical reasons for the loss of libido as women age. Reichman concludes that although estrogen replacement makes sexual activity more comfortable and pleasurable, it has no effect on sexual desire, whereas testosterone does. "From an ovarian point of view, many of us are testosterone-deprived, if not downright deficient," asserts Reichman. Testosterone deficiency can result in diminished desire and arousability, insensitivity of the clitoris and nipples, and difficulty reaching orgasm. She discusses the "good news" about and "dark side" of taking testosterone.
Reichman wisely avoids blaming testosterone deficiency for every sexual woe, however. She describes "Seven Sexual Saboteurs": psychological concerns, couple trouble, medications, disease, surgery, pain, and a partner with erectile difficulties. For each, she explains the problem and her recommended solution. She discusses (and, generally, dismisses) other products that are used or advertised as libido enhancers and gives advice about how to talk to your partner and to a sex therapist. --Joan Price
Book Description
The "hormone of desire," testosterone, acts on the brain to stimulate sexual interest, sensitivity to sexual stimulation, and orgasmic ability in both sexes. The amount of testosterone circulating in a woman's blood declines by about 50 percent between her twenties and fifties. The most common complaint associated with this decline is a seemingly unexplainable decrease or loss of sexual desire and enjoyment.
In I'm Not in the Mood, Dr. Reichman reveals the effectiveness of small doses of testosterone in reviving sexual desire and pleasure for women. Questions answered and topics discussed include:
- Why and when do women make male hormones?
- Where do all our male hormones go?
- Behavior, life changes, and medical problems that affect our libido
- Medications that affect our libido
- Will creams, pills, lozenges, patches, or shots help?
- When you should see a psychiatrist, psychologist, or sex therapist
- How to discuss libido issues with your doctor
- How to reach your biologic sexual potential

Menopausal? This one's for you!.......2007-01-19
This book really focuses on organic desire problems, mainly loss of libido due to hormone fluctations. It really pushes the use of testosterone to increase libido, and other remedies and procedures that are largely geared towards much older women (usually through menopause). THIS IS NOT A HELPFUL BOOK FOR WOMEN UNDER 40.
Looking for Answers?.......2006-05-12
A straight-forward explanation of causes for loss of sexual desire in women. It offers psychological (body image, depression, stress, relationship issues), physical, and drug/medical reasons. For these it suggests the best treatment depending on the cause, plus has a section on how to talk with your partner about the problem.
Useful to know the likely causes and gives a starting point for changing things.
Man as the cause of a woman's decreased libido?.......2005-03-11
There's a surprise category in this book. But, first, what's best about the book.
I recommend the book to most of my female patients because it gives an excellent description of all of the causes of a woman's decreased libido. Reading this book gives a good framework for talking with the physician and for taking responsibility for improved health.
Perhaps she underestimates the power of testosterone. No matter what else goes on, if that hormone is low, a woman will struggle with her libido. If you're considering changing the way you replace your horomones and want more details about the personal experiences of someone before and after proper hormone replacement, read Suzane Summer's latest book.
The surprise category is this: Men can be the cause of a woman's decreased libido. The way Dr. Reichman explains it: if the man has ejaculation and quits before the woman is satisfied, then the woman experiences frustration and loses desire for sex. Replacing the hormones of a few thousand women has taught me that this problem is much more common than most men know (the woman does love her husband and so doesn't want to tell him). Dr. Reichman tries to address this problem by writing a few pages about impotence in males.
Here's the problem, most men will not seek treatment from a physician (only about 30% of men with erectile dysfunction...impotence or premature ejaculation...will see a physician). So, I often find Dr. Reichman's category to be a real one: men do contribute to the decreased libido of a woman when they don't understand how to provide prolonged love making for the woman who needs it to achieve orgasm.
Dr. Reichman doesn't expand on the problem of men as the cause of decreased libido, but another common problem in my practice is that the woman comes to see me with decreased libido, then after I treat her the husband can't keep up with her. So, she goes from decreased libido, to improved libido, to frustration and decreased libido again. Because my women patients usually can't convince their husbands to come see me, I wrote a 15-day course for men: Anytime...for as Long as You Want: Strength, Genius, Libido, and Erection by Integrative Sex Transmutation.
Now, I ask my women patients to read Dr. Reichman's book. Then when the woman improves her libido (with the book and my hormone therapy), I give the woman the book Anytime...for as Long as You Want (which comes with an audio CD) to help her convince her husband to seek help in keeping up with her new libido.
Read both of these books and don't give up. Just a few months ago, I had a 65-year-old patient brag to me that she had her first orgasm just a few weeks after starting therapy as descirbed in this book. Her husband of many years only smiled.

Not for the 20-something female.......2004-12-31
As a 28 year old mom with a 14 month old son and mild depression, I thought I'd buy this book. However, when I read the book, it told me nothing I didn't already know. I wish she could have written a chapter that reaches women in their 20s having these issues. I literally ear-marked 3 pages, which were the only three pages out of the whole book that applied to me. Moreso for women in their 30s-60s.
A good start for client and clinician discussion.......2002-07-10
I have used this book in my clinical practice as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner for the past couple of years to treat Female Diminished Libido. I loan my copy out to my patients who don't want to purchase this book and have had tremendous success with my patients. I have my client read the book over a couple of weeks while waiting for lab results to come back and then we discuss her lab results and what she discovered in the book. The book has had the beneficial effect that most of my patients are able to honestly reveal if there is marital discord that may not have been admitted to in the first appointment. Opening up the way for a sex therapist or marriage counselor has been another positive benefit of this book. I find that many of my patients were reluctant to consider counseling in the first appointment, but were willing to include counseling as part of the treatment plan of their decreased libido. So many women learn about the female body and functions for the first time while reading this book. Every patient has been very happy with this book and no longer felt alone with this problem. They were able to realize that other women have suffered with this same problem and that, most of the time, there is positive results with hormones, exercise, honest communication with their spouse, counseling and/or treatment for depression. I plan to continue to use this book in my treatment of Diminished Female Libido.
Book Description
Perhaps all of Jonathan Ames’ problems–and the genesis of this hilarious book–can be traced back to the late onset of his puberty. After all it can’t be easy to be sixteen with a hairless “undistinguishable from that of a five year old’s.”
This wonderfully entertaining memoir is a touching and humorous look at life in New York City. But this is life for an author who can proclaim “my first sexual experience was rather old-fashioned: it was with a prostitute”–an author who can talk about his desire to be a model for the Hair Club for Men and about meeting his son for the first time.
Often insightful, sometimes tender, always witty and self-deprecating,
What’s Not to Love? is an engaging memoir from one of our most funny, most daring writers.
Customer Reviews:
Humor and Depth.......2007-07-24
Jonathan Ames has a way of universalizing the most personal and specific experiences--even a story about his nose hair growth struck a chord with me. This is an author who writes very simply about what appears to be very mundane subject matter but in fact offers up the reader material that is full of depth and sensitivity.
what's not to love about this book?.......2006-10-25
enjoyable though this author's novels are, it is his 1st two collections of writings for the new york press that i absolutely love. this is the 1st one and it made me a devoted fan of the author. i now buy any book with his name on it. these autobiographical pieces are hilarious throughout, and written in a completely unpretentious straight-forward prose that is pure pleasure to read.
Jonathan Ames is SCRUMPTIOUS!.......2006-03-12
What's Not to Love is rare comic genious. It's like reading somebody's diary. And it's not just somebody, it's the weird quiet guy on the bus that you know has issues. When you read this book you feel strangely guilty like you should do the author a favor and just stop reading. But you can't stop! Read one page and you'll be hooked!
The only problem with this book is that when you loan it out to people they don't give it back. I've lost two copies this way. Buyer beware! I mean it's not so bad, because you end up with a new copy every so often, but it can get pricey.
I want to be horrified but I just can't.......2006-01-27
The topics in this book are in turn touching, funny, repulsive, and outrageous. I truly wanted to be horrified by the perversion, but I found it too funny and odd. The book is skillfully written. Mr. Ames balances between quizzical amusement of his quirks and admitting he truly is a bit of a freak. I kept thinking about who I could pass this book to when I'm finished, and the list is pretty small. Some people wouldn't appreciate it, a few would be morally outraged, so it limited the list significantly. I have a friend whom I suspect is a closet pervert, so I'm going to give the book to him. Whether he is a pervert or not, he'll appreciate the gift of storytelling showcased in this memoir. It doesn't get five stars because I agree with a previous reviewer that the book meanders at the end and loses the momentum from the beginning of the book.
Interesting Book.......2005-07-13
(...) I found this book to be very interesting. I love the way Ames writes, his descriptions are incredible. I think anyone (with somewhat of an open mind) would enjoy this book. I was blown away by some of the things he's writing about, but COULD NOT put this book down. I read it in less than 2 days.

ASIN: 089793461X |

The differences between the sexes create both fun and tension. Most men want sex, either with a new or current partner. Women want sex, too, but are trained to put up obstacles so as not to seem "easy." To Bed or Not to Bed presents specific information on how to use these differences to create more pleasure and intimacy in bed and elsewhere. The authors provide proven sexual and sensual methods used successfully with their clients, including over 20 exercises, some to be done alone and others with a partner. The book takes readers on a journey that leads not just to the bedroom, but ultimately to a better relationship by showing how to take advantage of special techniques that bring a couple years of pleasure and happiness together.

Useful, practical and fun...........2007-08-29
I want to preface this review by saying that I'm not an easy reviewer, especially when it comes to books in this genre. As we know, sex has been around for millions of years and there is probably one book written for each year that contains more of the same kind of information.
This book is practical, fun and takes the form of a self or couple-driven inquiry. It explores a lot of territory including the ins and outs of male and female orgasm, communication between the sexes and the role of intimacy. While I don't necessarily agree with all of the information "between the covers".... the pun is totally intentional... I think it has enough very good material to warrant a 4 or 4.5. It didn't quite reach the 5 category for me, but others certainly seem to feel it belongs in that space.
I believe you will like the sexual tips on pleasing a woman, creating intimacy, communicating about desires and creating the right emotional and psychological climate for great sex. Even if you pick up a few good ideas, laughs and tips... the book will certainly be worth the small cost.
great book.......2007-08-22
an awesome book on how to get the most out of intimacy with your partner. Helps take it up a notch! Read it to your man so he knows exactly how to please you, hey if he understands it you'll like him more.
Great Read, and not just about Sex.......2006-11-21
I found this a very easy to read book packed with wisdom about relationships and sex. There's a lot of insight into what Vera and Steve share ... if you take the time to absorb it. I've taken classes about the male/female dynamic, and have seen some of this material before, but this time, I understood some of the points in a new way. I suggest it for anyone in a relationship as they share some tips we all can benefit from!
I highly recommend it, and working with them. Their experience has helped me expand the pleasure in my life.
very helpful.......2006-08-06
this is an east to read yet astonishingly packed with important info. if more men and women read it there would be a lot more fun on this planet and the divorce rate would be significantly lowered. loved the part about everybody winning.
It's about love.......2006-04-30
This book is easy to read yet has great life-impacting information. i just loved it and has made my life musch more fun and easier to relate with my boyfriend. Our sex is way better and we have given up so many old hang-ups that were preventing us from realizing how much in love we are. the book is worth 10 stars and i recommend it to all my girlfriends.

The stories are enough to keep the reader moving forward. .......2007-06-06
Paul Coughlin, author of the catchy NO MORE CHRISTIAN NICE GUY, is back with his latest project, MARRIED BUT NOT ENGAGED. He has teamed up with his wife, Sandy, for the book, and together they tackle false guilt that women sometimes feel about connecting with their emotionally uninvolved husbands.
Written for both men and women, the book focuses on some of the underlying issues of marriage from the perspectives of both partners. It explores the three factors that contribute to a man's passivity as well as common roadblocks along the way to intimacy. In addition, it looks at the internal conflict that comes with trying to be a Christian Nice Guy, which the authors dub a "CNG."
They write, "He's fighting so many internal battles that when it comes to life with you, he seems to be going through the motions of marriage, consistently shut down or difficult to reach. As you'll see, he doesn't realize that his heart is required to create intimacy with you, with others and with God. He thinks following all the rules will sustain his relationships. He doesn't yet know that intimacy comes not from checking off a to-do list."
In response to such marital challenges, the Coughlins offer practical advice in various relationship areas. As far as communication goes, they encourage readers to express themselves honestly and vulnerably, but take time to listen with empathy. In addition, partners are encouraged to model optimism and look for grace. At the same time, partners can model assertiveness in their words and actions. This kind of assertiveness means sharing feelings and thoughts while still being respectful of your partner. The Couglins also prescribe real intimacy.
They write, "We often misconceive of intimacy by thinking of it as a single, isolated act, like a memorable conversation in a romantic restaurant or a pleasurable sexual experience in an attractive hotel room. But those are just stages on which intimacy might unfold. Intimacy isn't an event --- it's what happens during these events --- two people actively pursuing the other person's deepest being. It is speaking the language of the other person's soul. For example, many married couples have honeymoons, but not all honeymoons are intimate and soulful."
Overall, the book is filled with solid advice and insights. Along the way, there are a variety of letters from Christian Nice Guys and stories from those who have struggled with these issues. At times, the writing runs flat and sounds more like a rant or a radio show (which shouldn't be a surprise since Paul hosts a radio show on The Dove in Southern Oregon) than a well-written work, but the stories are enough to keep the reader moving forward.
MARRIED BUT NOT ENGAGED is a solid resource and should be recommended to anyone wanting to get a fresh perspective on relationships as well as strengthen their marriage. The timeless advice is useful to all kinds of couples.

Turning Christian "Mr Nice Guy" into a real man.......2007-04-08
This book focuses on the problems that can be caused in Christian marriages by men who are passive in their behaviour - who fail to conform to society's view of masculinity (which itself has been devalued over the last decades). The book looks at why some men are like this and ways in which both husband and wife can work with each other to improve matters. The book was easy to read; however I felt that much of the subject matter was probably far more prevalent in America and that some of the stated problems would be less of an issue within the British personality so it may not be as universal as the authors imagined.
This book isn't a ten step guide to overcoming the problems of men feeling weak and in fact I wasn't always sure that it offered much useful advice - it was good at identifying the problems but didn't offer that many concrete ways to resolve them. However it did offer some points for thought about communication between men and women and referenced many other books that might be helpful in addition.
Great inspiration for wives of problem "nice guys".......2007-03-03
In Married But Not Engaged, Paul Coughlin brings wife Sandy in to help offer encouragement to wives who struggle with jello-spined husbands. The tone of the book is positive throughout, with unique helps such as a "goodwill quiz" (p. 159) to help women get a new perspective on themselves, their husbands, and their marriages. The Coughlins have obviously struggled through the issues personally to come out on the other side with a new, positive view of each other and a rock-solid marriage. Married But Not Engaged will benefit all but the bitterest of wives and most degenerate of husbands. Even those can gain something from the book if they will apply the Coughlins' insights and techniques to their hearts and personal situations.
Helpful, but biased.......2007-02-24
The book makes some good, what I call, "excuses" for men to just float through our lives, totally oblivious to all that is happening around them. This is a godsend for the men who have actually experienced the abuses and the other notable reasons for the man's behavior. However, it doesn't help those of us who are just married to spoiled men, and mama's boys. A good read, but be forewarned: the information given just tells women how to further shoulder the burden, but gracefully.
Excellent guide!.......2006-08-04
Written by Paul Couglin, author of No More Christian Nice Guy (CNG), he is joined by his wife Sandy to tell us what Married But Not Engaged is doing to relationships.
This title at first confused me until I realized "engaged" here meant "being involved.
Early on (pg 14) the authors tell how Paul (as a former CNG) answers wives' questions about their CNG. "For you who say "My husband's a nice guy, but...." Married But Not Engaged gets to the heart of the matter, explaining what intimacy is (and isn't), why it's missing, what happens when it's absent, where his seemingly inexplicable behavior comes from, and what can be done to bring change and growth."
The CNG are described as "too nice, pleasantly evasive, uses all his energy to keep up appearances.
The authors explain some modern-day misunderstandings of Jesus life or teaching--concepts carried by today's CNC. Same is true of Bible verses twisted meanings.
One wife wrote to the authors, (pg 60): My husband sees himself throughout No More Christian Nice Guy. He decided at some point that he must avoid anger and conflict at all costs. He's become the great pretender. It's more important to look good than live good.
This second book follows No More Christian Nice Guy with input for the careworn wives of these men. CNG behavior and passivity can cause them all kinds of physical illnesses (digestive and headaches, for example).
When men and women understand how CNG ideals can cause havoc, they can walk hand in hand through life together. When these men have a women of goodwill in his corner, with her courage, creativity and faith, they can begin to trust each other again.
Armchair Interviews says: These two books would be excellent study guides for a church couples group or would give counseling professionals some added insight into the CNG phenomena.

Paula White is a great role-model on love and marriage.......2007-09-08
Paula White is a great role-model on love and marriage.. and that's why I knew from the first page that this book would help me and my wife so much, even though it does have some big words near the end (on page 68, I think), and not enough pictures. (And why no CD-ROM or DVD! Bummer! That's why I couldn't give it five stars, BTW). At first we were a little put off by the freaky photo of on the cover. Perhaps it is just an unflattering photo, but my wife thought that Paula White looked sort of like a retarded version of a Barbie Doll on the cover, but I explained to her that the author has probably just had too much cosmetic surgery around her eyes, and was wearing way too much make-up, but that's just how authentic Christian women used to look in Bible days, I explained. Anyway, I have always found Paula White and her co-pastor Randy White to be an adorable couple. I love the little outfits they wear during their Sunday services on television. They are just such a cute couple, that you know they must spend hours together shopping for clothes and gossiping about the latest celebrity news. And Randy is always so well-groomed and sharp-dressed... I told my wife I had a bit of a "boy crush" on him. Tee hee! I don't know, call me "metrosexual" I guess... guilty as charged! Anyway, I was saddened to learn that Paula and Randy are breaking up, because one of Randy's kids from a previous marriage has cancer, or something like that. Stuff happens, right? And hey it's not Paula's kid anyway! But this book is still awesome advice from the Bible for the empowered woman and the man who loves her! And what's even better, is that we got our copy at the used book section of a Goodwill store for 75 cents! So how can you lose? Even at full price this would be a fabulous find.

In a class all its own.......2002-07-31
This book is phenomenal! Better than self-help, yet not as cumbersome as a classroom text, it should be required reading for every married couple out there!
Dr. Young-Eisendrath's thesis is that ours is the first era in history when men and women en masse have the potential to have emotionally intimate, honest relationships. In the past the power in a male-female relationship was too off balance for true intimacy.
Since this potential is a recent phenomenon, very few models exist for a gender-opposite relationship based on equality. The good doctor builds such a model, based on extensive research, and its malleable for all of us.
Book Description
Once upon a time, equipped with a solid marriage, driven careers, and a recently finished basement, my husband and I were ready to start a family. Like many 30-something couples, we thought it would be easy. Unfortunately, after nearly 18 months of doing things "the old fashioned way," my husband was diagnosed with a latent birth defect. It rendered us virtually infertile, not to mention devastated and confused.
The remarkable thing about confusion is that it can spur knowledge and strength. Infertility did just that for us. We moved forward to try to have a child with the help of science and technology. Before we could blink, we were in the midst of monumental efforts to finance our baby-making venture, ordering medications on the Internet, and undergoing multiple, sometimes risky, and invasive, procedures. We endured it all for a single chance to have a child of our own.
Pregnancy Wishes & IVF Dreams: A Story & Lessons About Life, Love, & Infertility is a compelling and insightful look at one couple's struggle with male factor infertility and everything that goes with it. From failed attempts at conception, batteries of fertility tests, and a devastating diagnosis, to IVF/ICSI, other treatments, and ultimately the birth of fraternal twin daughters, Pregnancy Wishes & IVF Dreams offers readers a sense of shared experience through a real-time, personal story. The book also provides first-hand insights, guidance, and quotes covering a range of universal issues including dealing with jealousy, great expectations, doctors, risk, finances, and family. Finally, Pregnancy Wishes comes full circle, leaving readers with twelve, invaluable lessons-learned about life, love, infertility, and numerous questions, and challenges in between.
Like an understanding friend, Pregnancy Wishes & IVF Dreams will leave you feelings less alone, and more empowered as you cope with infertility.
Customer Reviews:
a must read, must buy book.......2007-04-11
Pregancy Wishes and IVF Dreams is an honest and touching account of a couples difficulties with conceiving a child. I have not had to experience infertility directly, but I have a sister and a friend who did. I could also relate to and empathize with Kelley's story as the mother of two children. Kelley Taylor's book is an inspirational story about the challenges that life can present to the reader. It's a must read book for anyone who is facing infertiltity as well as those who have a loved one or friend who is experiencing infertility.
