Summary

Did you know that there is an orgasm gap of around 30 percent between heterosexual couples when they have sex?

In Mind the Gap, Dr Karen Gurney, a clinical psychologist and certified psychosexologist, explores not just this gap but the gaps in our knowledge of so much of the most important new science around sex and desire.

In this audiobook, you will learn that nearly everything that you've been led to believe about female sexuality isn't actually true. And that, despite what you might think, it is possible to simultaneously feel little to no spontaneous desire and have a happy and mutually satisfying sex life long term.

Exploring the mismatch between ideas about sex in our society and what the science tells us, Mind the Gap also explains how this disconnect lies at the root of many of our sexual problems.

Combining science with case studies, practical exercises and tips, this is an audiobook for anyone who wants to better understand the mechanics of desire and futureproof their sex life, for life.

An absolute must

This is the kind of books you wish you have read earlier in life. This is a book that every teenager, no matter gender, religion, nationality, should read. I am grateful I know all this now. It has changed me for the best.

So insightful

I found this book really comforting. There’s a lot in there that I didn’t know and I’m so glad that I now do. My partner is now listening.

Recommended by my doctor

This book is so insightful I feel every female should receive this book at a certain age. Wish I had it about 15 years ago!

It won’t rock your world. It’ll change your world.

This book has been written for women to read and develop. I am a man, who has listened and now reading this book. This book I believe should be read by all, learned by all and ultimately if you want happiness and fulfilment in a relationship. Should be read and shared by all.

Really useful but not that exciting

I’m really pleased I listened to this book as I learned a lot but I did also find it a bit boring. It’s still very much worth listening to as the information is valuable but it wasn’t as engaging as some other books.

A great book for improving your sex life

Me and my wife both listened to this book. Written from a women's perspective, but equally useful for men as well.

Brilliant, Insightful & Honest

Fantastic account or female sexuality and desire. Dr Karen Gurney is articulate and straight talking and highlights the need for female pleasure to be talked about more openly and honestly. This book could save so many relationships and help people build more honest ones. I highly recommend…. Female sexuality as a route to freedom! Yes please. Enjoy :)

Every woman should read this book!

.... Ideally before or in the early stages of their sexual debut, so they feel empowered to take control of their sexuality and sexual desires.
