Recently, Tammy Nelson, author of "Getting the sex You Want" presented on Sexuality and Passionate Partnerships in Vienna Austria recently.  In the home of Sigmund Freud, several hundred therapists attended the talk in the old Viennese ball room, where traditional waltzes are still held. 
With attendees from 14 different countries, all agreed that the one thing every culture has in common is that most couples dont talk about sex.  Especially with each other.
 
Tammy will be in Vienna Austria again this May, 2008. For further info contact [email protected]

"Getting the Sex You Want"
 
by Tammy Nelson
 
Getting the Sex You Want is the provocative title of a new book by author and psychotherapist Tammy Nelson.  Illustrating how a proven couples counseling method can be applied to sexuality for the very first time, the author gives clear and well written information about why passion fades in relationships, and how problems can erode a relationship in and out of the bedroom.
 
This guide takes a proven communication method and applies it to sex, intimacy and connection. Imago Relationship Therapy, which was pioneered by Harville Hendrix in the national bestseller and self-help classic Getting the Love You Want, shows readers how to understand and build trust with their partners through a unique form of dialogue.
 
Getting the Sex You Want teaches readers how to build sexual communication skills quickly and connect with their partner in a new way. Readers learn exercises that enable them to communicate their sexual needs and desires, get past old issues, and revive passion in their partnership.
