Books like What do women want? by Daniel Bergner


Psychology author Daniel Bergner compiles the latest scientific studies to present an in-depth view of female lust. He addresses how triggers, fantasies, and mind‑body connections influence desire, the causes of low libido, and whether this decline is inevitable. Bergner questions widely held assumptions about female monogamy, emotional connection, and sexual behavior, and considers the future of female sexuality—including the prospect of a women’s thalid? drug. His analysis refutes evolutionary‑psychology myths and invites debate on gender and sexual dynamics.

Sex drive by 11516239|Bella Ellwood-Clayton book cover

📘 Sex drive

Is women's sexual desire in the Western world at an all time low? When it comes to women's priorities, is sex on top? Lack of libido is women's most common sexual problem and once in a secure relationship, women's sex drive begins to plummet. Exploring what our libido is and why it is being depleted, sexual anthropologist Dr Bella Ellwood-Clayton argues that women don't want sex because they don't feel sexy. At a time when women's libidos are being threatened by the wider forces of media, marketing and medication and our increasingly pressured lives, who can blame them? With increasing numbers of women with low libido being diagnosed as 'sexually dysfunctional', the race to create a 'pink Viagra' is on. But do we have unrealistic expectations about our sex drive? Who defines what is normal and abnormal? And could 'low libido' in fact be the natural order of things? Provocative, authoritative and engaging, Sex Drive: In pursuit of female desire is both fascinating reading and a book that is creating passionate debate. "Fascinating research, shrewd insights, intelligence and wit ... a lucid account of the current thinking on female sexuality". - Monica Dux, social commentator
