These 10 Books Will Expand and Transform Your Sex Life

Has sex been a source of stress lately? Has the bedroom been lacking that certain je ne sais quoi? Want to decipher the way to the big "O" once and for all? If you feel ashamed of your anxiety about sex, you shouldn't. You're definitely not alone. In fact, according to a study by The Journal of Sex and Medicine, women only orgasm with their partner around 62.9 percent of the time. The amount of sex a couple has also tends to decline the longer they've been together. Now, the problem isn't that some women are destined for unfulfilling sex. It's not that couples simply lose interest in each other over time either. Try a long history of biological misunderstanding about female sexuality! And the cultural taboo surrounding conversations about how to keep sex interesting. It's no wonder so many of us give in to believing that mind-blowing sex must be a myth.

Luckily, that couldn't be more wrong. If you want to revitalize your sex life, whether that's spicing up a predictable routine with your longtime partner or finally discovering the power of your G-spot, these 10 books are guaranteed to light a fire between your legs.
