Such was the case with Laura Zam, who suffered the blame, shame, and embarrassment of feeling bedroom broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eFor her, delving between the sheets meant physical pain, zero desire, and emotional scars from being molested in her early years.

In partnership with her initially reluctant husband, she visited 15 healers and tried 30 pleasure-enhancing methods: from dilators and dildos, to hypnosis and hosting a sex brunch, to cleansing chakras, to making love to her husband in front of a geriatric Tantric goddess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003ePacked with humor, heart, and a healthy dose of prescriptive advice, this book chronicles Zam's insights as she confronts many issues-from mismatched libidos to female erection enlightenment.
