Sex: From The Couch

Does any love story ever truly end with "happily ever after"? Love: Sometimes exciting. Always complicated. Never easy. Some relationships last a lifetime-others last from dusk to dawn. ________________________________________________ From Clinical Sexologist, Dr. Arlene Krieger comes a collection of sexy short stories for adults that explore love-the most thrilling and complicated quest in the world. Written with compassion and humor, Sex from the Couch explores the irrational, passionate, and occasionally bizarre nature of love. Krieger's stories will make you laugh, cry, and gasp-sometimes with subverted expectations, other times in uncomfortable recognition of the pitfalls of adult relationships. In this anthology of thirteen short stories, twenty-six characters maneuver through life and love while gaining insight into themselves and each other. Encountering the often tragic, sometimes romantic aspects of what really happens behind closed doors, they seek answers to their most pressing questions: Does happily-ever-after actually exist? Why do some relationships last while some relationships crash? Her stories balancing between a relationship guide, splashes of erotica and psychological romance, Krieger's expertise in sexology lends a credible and unique voice to this tour de force of playfulness, romance, and surprising emotional intimacy. Sex from the Couch is a carefully crafted collection of stories about love and life inspired by clinical sexologist Dr. Arlene Krieger's observations on the birth and death of relationships-and all the messiness and joy that happen in between. Reflecting the sometimes pointless, always hopeful efforts humans make in the name of love, Krieger's thirteen stories deftly explore the tragic, romantic, and sexy realms of what really happens behind closed doors as well as our desire to believe in love, the disenchantment and pain of divorce, the appeal of treacherous encounters, and what it means to be in a relationship with another person. Each engaging story offers insights and hints about how to better navigate the journey of love. Sex from the Couch is a reminder that love need not be perfect to be perfectly exciting, irrational, passionate, inspirational, and complicate ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. Arlene Krieger has a PhD in clinical sexology and human sexuality.
