Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this book for my kindle after hearing about it on the Today show. I read the excerpt online and found it funny and truthful and was intrigued to learn about the Forty Beads Method. I know it takes two for there to be a lack of sex in a marriage and I was excited to be taking a step to try to improve things. We've been married eleven years with two kids (one being an infant) and I was sold on the idea of feeling more connected by getting our sex life back on track. Not only was I seriously disappointed, I feel like the book made us take a step backwards. (It put me in a serious funk where I started to doubt and question what I knew to be true about our relationship. My husband read excerpts and told me to quit reading it.)
I started the book all motivated and inspired and within the first third of it, I felt totally defeated and reprimanded as the author implied again and again that our lack of sex was mostly my fault. It's my fault because I'm not made like a man (who becomes the stereotypical football-loving, beer-guzzling, sex-maniac the media loves) and because I do things like raise children. At the end of the day she says I deal a soul-crushing blow to my husband by choosing to floss instead of have sex. What world does she live in? Her personal situation - which includes a much more broken-down marriage than I can relate to - is projected onto every one of her readers - to the point where she even says, "Do I sound like I know what I'm talking about? I've had some experience with this, and chances are, you have, too." I really should have listened to the review that mentions the lack of evidence and research to back up her wildly "hilarious" and exaggerated claims. If you want to hear that your husband craves sex 24 hours a day and will eventually hate you and leave you if you don't quit "snapping your legs together," then by all means buy this book.
