| Summary |
"The vast majority of love and sex occurs in the brain. Your brain decides who is attractive to you, how to get a date, how well you do on the date, what to do with the feelings that develop, how long those feelings last, when to commit, and how well you do as a partner and a parent. Your brain helps you be enthusiastic in the bedroom, or drains you of desire and passion. Your brain helps you process and learn from a breakup, or makes you vulnerable to depression or obsession. As the largest and most sensitive sexual organ in the body, a healthy human brain enhances your sex life and heightens sensation. A troubled brain, however, makes emotional and physical connection with others difficult. So forget the implants, the fad diets, and the pills--learning about this intriguing and sexy organ is the key to your sexual satisfaction.--From publisher description."--From source other than the Library of Congress |
