Keys to the Pleasures of Love

Stella Resnick, PhD

What really makes it so difficult to achieve a relationship that is both emotionally and sexually gratifying?

In The Heart of Desire, a book that will forever change how you think about love and sex, clinical psychologist and sex therapist Stella Resnick, PhD, draws on cutting-edge research to explore this love-lust dilemma and to show how early programming can inhibit sexual desire as lovers become committed partners and begin treating each other less like lovers and more like family.

Resnick’s revolutionary ten-step body-mind program offers valuable skills for enhancing romantic love, sexual aliveness, and your natural capacity to enjoy emotionally fulfilling sexual pleasure.

Contrary to popular opinion, words are not the mainstay of intimacy. The most profoundly fulfilling intimacies for adults are those that are the rooted in the body and are similar to the primal needs we were born with: Empathic Touch, Eye Contact, and Kissing [suckling]. I think of these as the ABCs of a deep intimacy - a primal intimacy - the sine qua non of loving, sensual sex.

During intimate times with your partner your hearts are entrained and actually do begin to beat in rhythm. Your right brains are engaged in a wordless conversation of affection. Your nervous systems are in sync. At the level of your biorhythms, you are truly making beautiful music together.
