Summary:
"After spending years in a sexless marriage, Rena Martine sought out a therapist to "fix" her. Instead, the therapist empowered Rena to walk the path from shameful to shameless. Rena ended her vanilla marriage in favor of a kinky lifestyle, released the dictum of monogamy to embrace an open relationship structure, and dropped the perfectionist "cool girl" act to show up as her actual self on dates. But learning how to do all of that was a full-time job. Featuring frank and relatable anecdotes from Rena'sown journey, as well as the stories of her clients, Shameless guides readers through the murky waters of understanding and acting on their own desires, including Internal narratives and unconscious biases that may be trapping you in patterns of shame. Thebook gives you actionable and tested advice on: Sexual curiosity and exploration with or without a partner Healthy relationship structures, monogamous or not Sexual experimentation outside the vanilla box Written with empathy and candor, this book giveswomen a broad understanding of intimacy's many forms and invites them to be curious, confident, and courageous about what they really want"-- Provided by publisher.
