Product Description:
What is your best tool for achieving the ultimate sexual pleasure? Your brain!

Everyone wants to know how to improve his or her love life, but so few of us understand the integral role the brain plays in getting us in the mood, keeping us excited about our partner, and helping us achieve greater satisfaction. Based on Dr. Daniel Amen’s cutting-edge research in practical neuroscience, Sex on the Brain shares twelve lessons that help you enhance your love and sex lives through understanding and improving brain function. Filled with practical suggestions and information on how to have better sex, Sex on the Brain reveals:

• How the differences between men’s and women’s brains affect our perceptions and interest in sex
• The science behind why breakups hurt so much, and what you can do to ease the pain
• Surefire techniques to fix common problems–depression, PMS, ADD–that get in the way of good sex
• How to tap into your senses–taste, touch, smell–and find “the spot”
• How sex can save your life

Sex on the Brain explains everything there is to know about the brain in love and lust, and shows you how to create a hot, healthy, and happy sex life.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - THE BRAIN IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE
It is common knowledge, at least among sex academics, that our primary sex organ is the brain. We are stimulated by our senses, but it is interpreted by our brains. This book is an excellent text regarding what happens in our heads before, during and after we have sexual relations. I found it to be accessible, even though I am not an expert. Sometimes, however, when we as humans engage in sex with someone else, we attempt to turn off our brains. Of course, that is impossible to do completely, but ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Neurobiology of Love, Lust, Loss, and Living Together
Daniel Amen combines knowledge from over 30,000 SPECT (Single Photon Emission Computerized Tomography) scans that allow him to see the Real Time, qualitative and quantitative brain function; with his superb insights into Human Behavior.

He presents a detailed view of Brain Function every step of the way from Gender Personality Differences, Attraction, Lust, Coupling, and Cohabitation, to breakups and loss of a loved one.

If Freud were alive today, he might well be working ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - book for "brainiacs," but not necessarily for better boudoir action
This is a nice read, with a good blend of humor, research on the brain and hormones in our body, and the doctor's professional and personal experiences w/ others. Amen does a good job delivering his, and others', brain research, in a way anyone can understand. He is, however, a bit old-fashioned in his views on evolutionary thinking and gender stereotypes. There is also the occasional slip up on sex info., e.g., the claim that self-pleasuring can lead to excessive or addictive activity in vulnerable ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - It all starts in your head
Not too much new but very thorough. Brain chemicals seem to be what causes attraction. And we thought we were picking our partners. Mother Nature is the real decider.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - ex-biochemist review - easily accessible, fascinating...
This is an excellent and very accessible book that primarily looks at what happens in the brain during love, lust, romance, paraphilias, etc. It has a lot of information in it, but it is not overly technical and accessible to the average person. Dr. Amen has a way of simplifying complicated concepts and weaving them into an engaging narrative.

What this book will give you as an understanding of the various parts of the brain and the role they play in our sex lives. It also includes supplements ... Read More
