Synopsis:

This book's author was interviewed in a woman's weekly magazine. He is the author of the bestseller "She Comes First". It is a response to the bestselling "He's just not that into you". Its reviews featured in women's magazines eg "Cosmo", "Elle", and "Grazia". Sex expert Dr. Ian Kerner teaches women how they can get the love and the sex they deserve. This is a confusing time for many women. On the one hand, there's a pressure to be sexually liberated and pursue pleasure for its own sake, and to have sex "like a man." On the other, there are deeply rooted biological and emotional factors that lead women to crave a committed, trustworthy relationship. The result? Many women, writes Dr. Ian Kerner, pursue dead-end relationships, fail to see the red flags and hope a "real" relationship might emerge from a meaningless one, and end up having their false hopes dashed when the guy in question makes it undeniably clear that his intentions are purely sexual and short-term. These days, writes Kerner, waiting to have sex on the third date is considered quaint and old-fashioned.

As he did in his highly successful first book, "She Comes First", here Kerner decodes the way both genders look at sex and transient relationships, arming women with a better set of expectations and insights into turning the relationship into something more satisfying. With his characteristic humor and sincerity, Kerner levels with women about what's going on in the male mind, showing them how to stop the vicious cycle of one-night stands and purely sex-driven relationships, and create the committed relationships they're looking for.
