Hot Sex and Healthy Intimacy: A Neuroscience-Backed Guide for Women and the People Who Love Them

It’s time to stop performing pleasure and start having sex you actually enjoy. In Hot Sex & Healthy Intimacy, Amaya Shiva Otto-Combs takes on the sex education you never signed up for: Hollywood, porn, and the relationship dynamics you grew up watching. Because here’s the truth: great sex doesn’t happen just because you love someone, and chemistry won’t teach you how to communicate what turns you on. Drawing on neuroscience and attachment theory, Amaya teaches you how to build erotic energy from scratch, ask for what you want without guilt, and navigate conflict without killing your connection. You’ll learn why desire shuts down and what women need to feel turned on, with practical exercises you can bring into your bedroom. Whether you’re single, dating, or years into a relationship, this book gives you the skills to create hot sex and healthy intimacy without abandoning yourself to get there.
