Summary: A key to a rich, fulfillig sex life
Review: The authors devise the concept of "Sexual Intelligence" which is a measurable extent "between a rich, fulfilling, conflict-free sex life and a disappointing or even destructive one". The three components of Sexual Intelligence are (1) sexual knowledge, (2) awareness of the secret sexual self and (3) the ability to connect with others.

The book is full of stories that show how harmful for the Sexual Intelligence are media myths, religious dogmas, disinclination to apply for physician's aid, gender stereotypes, legacy of sexual violence, lack of sexual education at, sexless behavior at work, and other evils.

In addition to the obviousness that sex is joyful and exciting experience that enriches one's life, the authors evidence benefits of sex for physical and mental health in numerous references to scientific researches (the endnotes section has 160 references). The authors, however, do not mention that sexual aversion seriously affects one's social life by diminishing charm. Thus I would recommend "Sexual Desire Disorders" by Helen Kaplan in addition to this book.
