“Dr. Emily gives us a new way of thinking about how to cultivate great sex. She breaks down the latest science in a way that is accessible and meaningful as well as authentic and relatable. She teaches us how personal curiosity and insight weave together with vulnerability and intimacy in a way that ignites sexual passion.”
– Keke Palmer, American actress and singer

“Dr. Emily has a thoughtful, clinically assured voice that is sure to appeal to readers far and wide. She makes difficult issues simple and accessible via her central tenet that expressing our authentic sexual selves is not about venturing into the unknown but rather searching within ourselves and tapping into our innate, albeit uncultivated, sexual potential. Everything we need to seize the sexual moment is already within us, waiting to be actualized, and Emily guides us on this journey with care and curiosity.” – Ian Kerner, PhD LMFT, NY Times best-selling author of She Comes First

"We sex therapists have always warned couples against setting too many goals in bed. Anatomy of Desire sets this conventional wisdom on its head, encouraging couples instead to set very high goals, and in a surprising turn actually demonstrates how to achieve them. Dr. Emily is a sex therapist and former classical dancer, with a dancer’s interest in how to balance discipline with spontaneity to achieve flow. She walks you carefully through the emotional steps that underlie all great sex and offers precise instructions for doing the work needed to make it all ultimately appear effortless. Bravo!" – Stephen Snyder, MD, author of the Winner of the Nautilus Gold Book Award for Relationships and Communication Love Worth Making

"If you care about your partner and are looking for ways to restart your sex life, I don’t know of a more outstanding resource than Anatomy of Desire. I highly recommend this book to any couple whose sex life is lacking the passion and excitement it once had. It is well written, easy to relate to, and most important of all–it provides the tools that couples need who still love each other and want to make sex feel awesome again." – Paul Joannides, Psy.D., author of the Guide To Getting It On and host of the “Crush It In Bed Podcast”

“Dr. Emily is a master of sexual communication. She seamlessly weaves together scientific data and clinical expertise in an elegant yet accessible way and provides readers with practical tips and takeaways to level-up their intimate lives.” – Justin Lehmiller, PhD, author of Tell Me What You Want and host of the Sex and Psychology Podcast
