Order Anatomy Of Desire By Dr. Emily Jamea
The experience of effortlessness, total absorption, and loss of space and time are feelings that all of us want to enjoy while making love. However, couples consistently struggle to maintain desire and passion in longer-term relationships, and it’s commonly thought that domesticity dims the erotic flame.
But what if great sex didn’t diminish at all? What if, with the right tools, it continued to improve – well past the honeymoon phase?
In Anatomy of Desire, seasoned sex and relationship therapist Dr. Emily Jamea shatters the traditional belief that great sex is ephemeral. Informed by her groundbreaking research and brought to life through client interviews, Dr. Emily has developed an approach that identifies five tenants—sensuality, curiosity, adaptability, vulnerability, and attunement— to help her clients transform sex from sub-par to extraordinary.

An absolutely beautiful book that will transform how you approach sex and intimacy. Jamea is a master of sexual communication and creative thinking when it comes to re-igniting a dying flame in the bedroom. Highly reccomend.

I'm a sexologist and have read MANY books on sex, desire, intimacy and relationships. This is by far one of the best. It's easy to read, with actionable pieces of advice anyone can apply to their life and original thought. I love her research on applying the concept of flow state to our sexual experiences and it's been fantastic for both myself and my clients. Thank you, Dr. Emily Jamea!
This book was one I was waiting for. My wife and I can’t wait to dive in.
I truly enjoy reading this book. I love the use of real life stories of couples followed by situational, practical advice. The scientific data and explanations are interwoven making it all easy to understand and digest. Dr. Jamea has a way of questioning a viewpoint that just turns everything on its head. I actually had several ah-ha moments while reading the book. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their relationship and/or themselves.
I’ve loved Dr Jamea’s advice and podcast, so I was thrilled that she wrote a book. It does not disappoint! It’s evidence based, it’s fascinating. It’s a book that I’ll come back to again and again. I hope that it’s one of many books that Dr Jamea publishes!
This book truly helps couples embrace sensuous intimacy with curiosity, adaptability,vulnerability, and attunement. Each chapter charts the course toward recapturing true desire.
This was such an easy read with great stories. Very insightful with several great couple exercises. Thank you Dr Jamea
I have read other books regarding this topic, and this one beats them all! Sometimes your relationship gets stagnant or hits a low point, and Anatomy of Desire details enlightening and scientifically-backed information in an interesting and easily digestible manner. It provided a wealth of information and tools that my spouse and I were able to utilize to discuss issues openly, and we both feel that it has unlocked emotions, thoughts, and views that we were both nursing but had difficulty expressing. If your relationship is one of your top priorities, GET THIS BOOK and reap the benefits of its wisdom for a lifetime!
Exceptional! Extremely well-written book based in solid research. The author breaks down the research in a way that’s easy to understand and brings it to life through client stories.
Dr. Emily is compassionate and insightful. This book is for couples who have been married or together for years and want that honeymoon spark back. It combines expert advice with practical exercises. It is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to improve their relationship.
I learned a lot from this book. My husband even enjoyed reading it with me. The language of “flow” and how it relates to pleasure during intimacy really resonated with me and allowed me to look deeper into the integration of pleasure with spirituality. The activity options provided in each chapter were quite helpful. I haven’t done them all yet, but the ones I have were very enlightening (and fun). And I know many will be good practices in the future. I think this book will appeal to most men and women. It provides straight talk along with concrete suggestions and background research while also connecting the reader with the transcendent aspect of physical and emotional intimacy. Great resource!
Dr. Jamea's expertise as a sex therapist shines through in her insightful analysis and compassionate approach.

I really enjoyed the unique perspective presented in this book. Achieving flow state in the bedroom makes for the best experiences, and this book really gives you knowledge and ways to get there. I highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking to get closer to that worthy goal of bedroom nirvana.
Dr. Emily’s work stretches beyond our sex lives, bolding asserting that great sex is the key to great relationships and fulfilling lives.
With a fresh and evocative gift for storytelling, Dr. Emily illustrates how couples can deepen their romantic and sexual connection. Through practical exercises, Dr. Emily teaches readers how to reach a “flow” state, creating the sense of unity and merger that many long for during sex.
