WE can all recite the mantras of modern sex advice: Tell your partner what you want; focus on how your body feels; relax. Since it’s only natural, goes this idea, great sex is a matter of getting over your hang-ups, loving your partner and “letting go”.
Yet something doesn’t add up, as the huge market for self-help books and advice columnists proves. As a nation, we’re not getting any. We crave sexual bliss – but all our relaxing and getting-in-touch isn’t helping most of us. When the standard advice doesn’t work, you feel like a failure: Too uptight. Not “in your body.” Worse, maybe you’re not really in love.
