Says Kathryn: Sex Detox is not what you expect. Or maybe it is. A few years ago, Sting was on Oprah. Oprah wanted to know if the rumors were true: Did Sting and his wife 'do it' in every room of the house? Yes, Sting said. Sting was supposedly talking about the Kama Sutra, but what he was really talking about were the marathon love sessions, made up of kissing for hours on end on the couch, whereupon one of the kids usually walked by and said, Ewe, get a room, guys. Sting was talking about communication, not positions. And that is exactly what Ian Kerner is talking about in his book, Sex Detox: Recharge Desire, Revitalize Intimacy, Rejuvenate your Love Life.

Says Susan: When I first read about "Sex Detox: Recharge Desire, Revitalize Intimacy, Rejuvenate Your Love Life" by Ian Kerner, Ph.D., I thought "Hey I could learn a thing or two to spice up our sex life." The reality that I'd write a review and try not to spill any personal bits with the readers hadn't quite registered. How does one say that after thirty years of marriage two empty-nesters find their sex life less than desirable, if said partners never talk about the issues themselves? Well, suffice it to say, "Sex Detox" is a helpful guide even to married people who are reading it on their own. Read more...
 
Says Ghostly: What I like about this book is the system itself, not only would it help you sexual relationships I believe it can help you with so much more. The reflection and growth thru using your past is a brilliant idea. I really do recommend this system to anyone who feels that their sex life is in a rut. Maybe it needs a little refreshing or a complete overhaul, if you are serious about fixing it (within yourself) this is the book for you. Read more...
 
 Says Denise: The Detox is not just about going "without" for a full thirty days in an effort to recharge your sex life: to once again feel that yearning you did in the begining of your relationship or for singles to regain that special feeling you had before you actually started haveing sex. The yearing desire and feeling like your clothes might just burst into flame you were so hot for someone. Read more...
 
Says Michelle: Have you ever wished that your sex life could be like it was when you first met that someone special in your life? According to the book Sex Detox by Ian Kerner, you can. Ian Kerner is a Sex Therapist who has a way to "fix" the problems that many couples have in bed. Read more...
 
Says April: While reading and looking through the book I found myself to be both curiously adventurous and also titillated by this provocative tone. And, okay, a little embarrassed at first. But I did not let that stop me. Then a bonus, my husband was immediately interested in exploration just from the cover itself. The book was already fun for me, then even more fun as a couple going through it together and trying things out, really good! There are steps that are easy to follow, exciting to try. Though "educational," there was nothing clinical about this straightforward book. Read more...
 

Says Gil: What if someone told you you could experience love, sex and intimacy as you've never imagined it in just 30 days. Would you be interested? Dr. Ian Kerner is a sex therapist and has created a formula and system to "fix" the average American's sex life in just 30 days. As the good Doctor puts it in his book, "While our cultural exposure to sex has heightened over the last decade, our level of personal satisfaction has plummeted to a staggering low." With this in mind it helps to know that you are not alone. Read more...

 

Says Sara: I’d definitely recommend this book to any couple that has been married or in a long term relationship for more than a year or so. Emotional intimacy is key to a successful marriage, and what better way to facilitate that than great sex? Read more...

 

Says Amy Jo: Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex

After reading Sex Detox by Dr. Ian Kerner, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he had found inspiration in these lyrics. After all, a key component to this plan (besides the 30 days of abstinence) is conversing. Conversing both with yourself and with your partner, honestly, about sex. Read more...

 
Says Lisa: In a nutshell, his message? Its not about getting freaky-deaky as much as it is about intimacy. When you have a deep connection with your partner, you have a much higher chance of sexual fulfillment when you are doing the matress mambo. Read more...
 
Says Susie J: I’m impressed with Kerner’s candor in revealing the intimate secrets of couples who have worked through many painful issues in their relationships. (Anonymous of course.) Sometimes, when you’re lost, the best thing to do is to stop right where you are and wait. Read more...
 

Says Gunfighter: I'm not going to give you a detailed description of the plan, but I'll tell you, I think that Kerner is on to something. Reading his plan, I think that it would be good for anyone who thinks that there is anything toxic in their lives, from sex, to friendships, or even the beginnings of substance abuse problems. Give it a read. Even if you don't use the plan, you'll probably learn something useful. Read more...

 
Says Ann M: Kerner's work avoids the easy mistakes of most sex manuals: there are no catalogs of impossible sex positions (anatomically speaking, he says, there are only three); there's no disembodied, parental voice dispensing intimate advice (instead, Kerner bares his own humiliating experiences as a sex therapy patient), and most importantly, there is no large collection of sex facts, lacking synthesis or interpretation. Kerner has a firm grip on anatomy and physiology, but he also understands that sex isn't all about the physical. It's more about what's in our minds-- our psychology, cultural background, genetics, and evolutionary history. I get the feeling that Ian Kerner knows what really makes us tick as sexual beings.
