"It's possible to gradually undermine your natural capacity for sexual gratification with lifestyle choices that relentlessly torpedo your libido. Great sex can be yours for as long as you live, but you have to choose it again and again . . . The choice is yours; choose it or lose it."

"Great sex is your birthright; you came into being as the result of orgasm, and your body is perfectly designed for sexual pleasure. You have specialized receptors in your brain, vagina, and clitoris-and throughout your physiology-that serve no other purpose than to give you sensual satisfaction. But even though you were born with the potential for great sex, it's not a given. You have to nurture your capacity for it, allow it time to grow and flourish, and nourish it with care and loving attention.
" . . . There are myriad connections between your capacity for pleasure and countless choices you make every day. Everything about your lifestyle . . . can affect your capacity for sexual pleasure. Over time, you can fully manifest your potential for great sex with the right choices, or you can diminish it with unhealthy ones. Just as people who let their health go for many years may lose the natural function of an organ or system, it's possible to gradually undermine your natural capacity for sexual gratification with lifestyle choices that relentlessly torpedo your libido. Great sex can be yours for as long as you live, but you have to choose it again and again with a lifestyle that supports it. The choice is yours; choose it or lose it.
"Not only does abundant mental and physical health increase your capacity to enjoy sex, but sex, in turn, gives you many health benefits. In fact, a climax a day keeps the doctor away . . .
"Health and sex are, in a sense, mutually reinforcing: the greater your health, the greater your capacity to enjoy sex; and the more you enjoy sex, the greater your health. Health makes you sexy, and sex makes you healthy!"
-From pages 3-4 of Great Sex, Naturally
"Not only does your ability to fully enjoy sex require a healthy mind and spirit, the clarity of consciousness to pursue your passions, and freedom from unhealthy emotions, but every state of mind you experience can have profound effects on your physiology and resistance to disease, as well as your potential for great sex. Your capacity for sexual pleasure is inseparable from your mind-in a sense, pleasure is nothing more than the awareness of pleasure-which may make your mind the ultimate measure of pleasure."
-From page 5 of Great Sex, Naturally
"Your bond grows stronger, research suggests, with each act of lovemaking. In the realm of your hormones, as in so many others, sex connects; the more you make love, the more love you make."
-From page 6 of Great Sex, Naturally
"Humans are sometimes distinguished from other animals because of our unusual capacity for delayed gratification; we can imagine enjoyable experiences well in advance, and doing so may enhance pleasure. This pertains not only to simply spending time with your partner, but also to sex: in a sense, you can enhance in advance. If you have to wait, let anticipation increase gratification."
-From page 8 of Great Sex, Naturally

"The most important step you can take to enhance your sexuality is to consciously choose a set of thoughts and beliefs that will create, not negate, great sex-in short, a credo for your libido."

"Your brain is bicameral, which means it's composed of 'two houses,' or halves . . .
"Tapping into the right side of your brain can help you maintain a balanced life, improve your sense of well-being, and nurture your capacity for a healthy intimate relationship. It can also get you in touch with 'the sensuality mentality'-your natural ability to experience all the joys of loving sexual union. Your two-sided brain is exquisitely designed to allow you full awareness of sexual pleasure; it is, if you will, your great sex duplex. But for many women, it's the power of the right brain that allows them to experience pleasure while disengaging from other mental activities, in a sense liberating sexuality from intellectuality."
-From page 9 of Great Sex, Naturally
"Your conscious intentions and beliefs can shape your destiny, and you can choose happiness, health, beneficial relationships, love, and sexual fulfillment. The most important step you can take to enhance your sexuality is to consciously choose a set of thoughts and beliefs that will create, not negate, great sex-in short, a credo for your libido."
