common sense offered in a humanistic fashion Aug 01, 2007
By A. Consumer
There is no new ground here, after all we are all products of sex and it has been around a long time. The humanistic approach and attitude is what makes this sensative "how to" reference guide works. Well written with attention to an often misunderstood and highly sensative issue, this book is a great reference guide to common sexual issues and questions. I recommend it, especially to the middle aged long time married couple who is wondering about what sex has to offer to them. Things do change and yet they remain the same, in every long term relationship. It is within these pages that the reader finds that the authors have done their research and share the experience required to offer such a great addition to any couple's library. even if you are just curious about one personal sexual issue this book is a good find and well worth the price of entry.

Review I wrote for the American Association of Sex Educators, Counselors and Therapists Nov 18, 2007
By Paul
You would think that after writing an 854-page book on sex, I would know most of what's in "CPR for your Sex Life" by Brown & Braveman--and I probably do. But what's so nice about CPR is how the authors lay everything out is a way that is accessible and fresh. It was as if I was reading all of these suggestions for the first time, and these truly are the steps that many couples who are struggling with little or no sex in their relationships need to begin with.
Of course, there are those couples who bring us problems that are so seeped in psychodynamic turmoil that we end each session feeling emotionally tarred and feathered. They require our finest clinical skills and will not be helped by this book or any other. And there are situations where physical conditions or a combination of physical and emotional issues loom large, and they will need an approach that requires the coordination of multiple disciplines.
However, for the majority of couples, this book is a wise companion, providing a helpful and easy to understand roadmap for how to get the sexual part of a relationship back on track.
The one aspect of "CPR" that might scare away some clients is that it asks for written responses throughout. So I tried to put myself in the mindset of a person who only writes in mono-syllabic grunts, and still came away with much that was good. If your client finds the blank lines overwhelming or a good excuse for resistance, tell them to just answer the questions in their mind. In doing so, they will still get much that is wise and helpful from this excellent book.
My only problem with the book came at the very end where the authors imply that males can control the timing of their ejaculations if they will just work at it--were it that easy for many of us, be we too slow or too fast! But this is only a minor issue, and the authors wisely counsel their readers not focus on the genital part of sex until they've established a more solid relational base. "CPR" is full of advice that we can all learn from, and keep going back to time and again if we want to keep our sexual relationships vibrant and alive.

It's Not Just About Sex Nov 08, 2007
By Nickolas Jakob McDaniel
"t god slug"
In most relationships, difficulty arises from ineffective communication. It isn't uncommon that this manifests in different areas. This is especially the case within romantic relationships. Where often does this show? Sex.
This book is a series of exercises that facilitate not only an increase in physical but also emotional intimacy. It might seem a bit like homework (and it is) but I'd personally rather do sex homework than math...enjoy yourself and your partner as you learn and create a stronger relationship! The exercises within are great tools to assist a couple not only to repair their sex life and become closer both physically and spiritually but also to learn how to communicate better. The price of the text is a small investment in comparison to the potential return. Spending some good, quality time with a partner I love as we learn about each other, maybe share a smile or laugh, please each other sexually and commit ourselves to working on the sexual aspect of our relationship is -- to me -- definitely worth the cover price; in fact, that alone is priceless.
