Magnificent Sex: Lessons from Extraordinary Lovers by Peggy J. Kleinplatz, A. Dana Ménard

4.0

The entire idea of this book is super interesting. Sex therapists and researchers decided to attempt to fill a gap in sex research - identifying what makes sex magnificent. To do this, the researchers sought out people who consistently had magnificent sex, seeking out those who identified that way. They interviewed these volunteer people, who consisted of a range of ages, sexual orientations, sexual interests, relationship statuses, physical abilities, etc. After conducting detailed interviews with all participants, a group of researchers blind read through all transcripts and identifies what trends and pattern they saw. Using this information, the researchers determined what composed magnificent sex and how people prepared for magnificent sex.

To summarize the findings, anyone can have magnificent sex, which is not really about intercourse at all, but to have magnificent sex, one must commit to the time, effort, and prioritization required to have it. This book really was incredibly interesting and enlightening.
