Breaking Out of Christian Frigidness October 25, 2008 Jacob Schriftman Having grown up in a conservative Christian context, sexual activities apart from the Missionary Position were often tainted by feelings of guilt. This book helped to embrace my sexuality and get rid of my baggage of Christian frigidness.
But be warned: In this book you will be encouraged to touch yourself, to explore and play, and to - yes - actually *celebrate* sex without a guilty conscience. The book even includes hand-drawn pictures of various positions, which, though nothing extraordinary for sex guides in general, might almost be revolutionary for the conservative Christian.
The book also helped my wife and me to openly *talk* about the details of sex, about our own sexual feelings or lack thereof, etc.
For the non-religious reader, this book is possibly still too unprogressive and has too many references to an Evangelical worldview, but it's a great tool for liberating Christians from sexual legalism and undue guilt.
Excellent Resource September 18, 2008 M. Straub (Lancaster, PA) This book is a great tool for married couples. It brings clarity to questions and issues that may otherwise go unexplored due to emparassment or fear. It has given a fresh perspective to a loving relationship and a sense of wholeness. I would highly recommend it to couples who want to increase communication with one another and to couples who are newly married.

This book gives great advice, and has many strong points giving the reader an understanding as well as a level of relation as many of the situations the reader will be able to relate too. Buy the book or Borrow it! it's an important part of every marriage.
WOW! June 25, 2008 A. Lewis 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
What an incredible book! This was required reading for a counseling course but it's purpose served more than that. Roseneau does an incredible job of communicating how beautiful & sacred an intimate relationship with your spouse should be. God created man and woman to please one another in many ways in addition to intercourse and this book does a great job of instructing couples how to deepen their sexual intimacy.This is definitely worth your money! Roseneau also has a Newlywed version and an over 50 version.
good info! June 9, 2008 Phyllis A. Reklis (Durham, NC United States) This book contains good info and answers and tips that are often not found in "Christian" books on sexual matters. The version for newlyweds is great as well..my husband and I do much pre-marriage counseling and recommend this and give it as gifts as well.
