    About this audiobook

    The premise is simple: When it comes to sex, dating, and relationships, sometimes we get in so deep the only way out is to start over again. For many of us—whether we're in a relationship, or actively dating in the hopes of finding that someone special—our love lives have become a source of toxicity. Sex Detox offers a revolutionary way to start fresh and take action.

    Just as a physical fast will rapidly alter your metabolism and natural body chemistry, so too will a sex or dating detox impact your mind and body, enabling you to reset, rewire, and ultimately rejuvenate your love life. In this practical, life-changing guide, Ian Kerner lays out a friendly, achievable 30-day course of action that will help you turn off the noise, take a necessary pause, and rebuild your love life from the inside out.

    If you're in a relationship, you'll learn to see your sexual history not just as a series of physical encounters, but rather as a unique and vital part of your identity, which needs to be nurtured and fed in healthy ways. You'll experience the ""thrill of the chaste"" and learn how to touch your partner with a renewed sense of passion and possibility. If you're single, the dating detox will give you a chance to step off the dating treadmill, catch your breath, and recover inner strength for the road ahead. You'll recalibrate your aspirations to connect to potential mates from a place of strength and self-knowledge.

    Whether you're single or coupled, Sex Detox will enable you to achieve the relationship results you deserve.

      Not so relevant to me or my relationship at time I received it. Hard to evaluate it given that context.
    • 3/5
      I found this book to be very helpful, but only half of the book. I like some of the 30 days activities in the singles detox section. It made me think about how I feel and see about guys. Usually I dont notice it, but now that I've read about it, it seems that I really can know what to look for and how to make it last. Plus it's really fun to read back on the Detox diary...

      I agree with the author when he says: "American sex lives are broken, 'shattered'....". Heightened cultural exposure to sex, among other things, leaves our personal sexual lives empty. The program Kerner offers takes dedication and a willingness to be totally, unequivocally true about and to oneself. How fasting from food cleanses the body, Kerner’s sexual fasting cleanses your sexual psyche. The book is easy to read and the author writes with a gentle kindness and that is very helpful because the detox program, if you really apply yourself and dig deep, can be very difficult. I would recommend this book to anyone that really has a committed desire to cleanse themselves from sexual dysfunction.

      I read the portion of this book which is for singles. It basically is a common sense approach to being inbetween relationships. The book advocates taking some time and examining what exactly it is that you want out of sex and relationships. A normal dopey self help book in other words.

      Sex Detox is a self help book geared toward singles or couples to improve their sex life. The authors method of improving a person's sex life is by performing a "sex detox" or in other words abstaining from sex for 30 days. While abstaining, a person performs some journaling and exercises to get more in-touch with the issues that might have caused the problems in the first place. The book is split into a section for singles and a section for couples. I read the section for couples, but did not actually perform any steps.I think the idea of the book is a good idea. The idea of stepping back and taking a look at what might be causing the problems with a person's sex life without the complicating it with sex is a good idea, but not revolutionary. I think that the good part about the book is that it does allow a person who might not know how to work out their issues on their own, a structured way to accomplish it. I think the book could use a name and cover change. As it is, I don't think I would look at it twice, and therefore would miss some of the good info that is in the book.
    • 2/5
      Maybe I've recently read too many self-help books, but to me this book is chock full of common-sense type advice and no real revelations. It's a good primer and probably will help many people "push the reset button" but is not for those who are already overly thoughtful about their relationships.
