Is it HOT in here, or am I just HOT?

The bright cover clues you in that there may be a few eye-openers in the book. Sunny Hersh advises women in their 40s, 50s, 60s to "be real." Now's the time to confront your sexual fears and those of your partner. In long-time relationships, sometimes we get out-of-sync sexually with our spouse. The book with its fun wording and playful approach gives hope in a frank and open way. There are no detailed diagrams for sexual postions, but plenty of advice for getting back on track. A sampling of the chapter titles show the variety contained within the book: *He really does want to rub you the right way! *The Big O Primer *Good Vibrations = Excitement *PMS in Your 40s = Psychotic Mood Swings *Sex - Why Bother? *Why his crisis can be worse than yours *It's never too late to be picky about men *Take your own breath away

Sunny bypasses wishful thinking and goes right to how to motivate yourself to do what you have to do to be heaalthier (and sexier). She gives you such a great understanding of what your husband is thinking and going through and what to do about it. The book gives the nitty gritty of how to wake up your libido and covers everything that touches your sex life-PMS, prostate, parents, hormones, sexy movies. It's all here in a funny, friendly way. You realize that we're all going through this stuff, it's normal, and there are things we can do about it!

This is one of the few books that I have read where sexuality and relationships are spoken about so plainly. Honestly, reading this book was refreshing and eye opening. Sunny Fresh describes what it is to be older, and to still have a fulfilling life despite what the general media shows you that only the young know how to live. Her topics are frank, it is almost like sitting down and speaking with long-time friends about topics you may be slightly embarassed to speak about. This book covers finding your sex drive again, how to get what you want to from your partner in your sexual relationship, understanding his body and what he may be going through. The book also covers things like menopause, and things you can do to make your life easier. My favorite chapter of hers was called Dating in Midlife - like High School, but with more Baggage than American Airlines. So you can see that she helps you with many things with humor. If you feel like you may not know some of the modern terminology with dating, or sex, read this book she will bring you back up to date. Sunny Hersh definately writes this book from the perspective that life should be lived to its fullest, and you have the power to make your life rich and wonderful. I definate must for those who are trying to get back into the swing of things, and those of us that want to feel young forever. Sitting down with this book is much like sitting down with a bunch of girlfriends and really talking about how things really are.

Finally a book that speaks openly on women and sexuality after 40. Sunny's witty and open minded style turns a private topic into an empowering read. She dispels many of the taboo ideas women have about their sexuality. That being sexually satisfied creates a life energy that radiates from the inside out. Her ideas on how to awaken your sexuality are liberating as well as being the greatest form relaxation. Getting to know how your body responds sexually is important for all over health and emotional empowerment. As a Certified Life & Esteem Coach I would highly recommend this to all women looking to resurrect their sexuality and tap into a natural energy source. Lynne Kimpland

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. The author tackles topics that probably every woman over 40 has wanted to talk about, but many are too afraid/embarassed to discuss. It's nice to know that I'm not the only person wondering about these topics - everyting from sex toys to sex in the tub to jump-starting your sex life after age 40! And she presents it all with humor and class - how refreshing! It's an easy read, and really makes you feel good about yourself. Signed, Midlife in Maryland
