According to Dr. John Gray, men and women have very different physical needs. Understanding the differences—and applying them to lovemaking—can ignite passion in the bedroom and out. In Mars and Venus in the Bedroom, readers are offered straight talk about the differences between male and female biology, as well as the importance of honest, considerate communication between couples about their sexual needs. Gray asserts that sex is a very different experience for women and men. For example, a man experiences pleasure primarily as a release of sexual tension. However, the joys of sex for a woman correspond to a gradual buildup of tension. Appreciating the physical differences and needs of the other not only leads to good sex, but also clears up misunderstandings and doubts about “how to do it right.” Of course, clear and caring communication about likes and dislikes is also paramount for experiencing “hot monogamy.” Some of the fascinating and practical advice found in Mars and Venus in the Bedroom include:

• God gave a woman a circular body to remind a mind to move his hands and fingers in circles over her body instead of getting right to the point!
• A man’s persistent sexual longing is really his soul seeking wholeness. The barren landscape of living only in his mind seeks union with the rich, sensuous, colorful, and sweet-smelling terrain of his heart.
• Just as great communication opens a woman up to enjoy great sex, the possibility of great sex directly helps a man to be more loving in the relationship.

In addition to encouraging loving, supportive communication among couples, Gray provides excellent bedroom skills for creating great sex and lasting passion. This book will give you:

• A deeper comprehension of why a man’s heart opens through sex, while receiving love helps women to feel hunger for sex
• Tools for increasing sexual confidence and stoking the fires of passionate monogamy
• Insight into male and female anatomy, as well as the differing inner psychological landscapes
