Finding lasting love and intimacy can be difficult for many women.
Some end up agreeing to sexual relationships hoping that they may
lead to longer, more fulfilling relationships, only to be let down
when they don't. Here, Jill Weber explains why women feel forced
into a male model of dating that barters sex for the unrealistic
hope that it will lead to emotional intimacy. What it leads to for
the woman, most often, is disappointment, despair, and impaired
self-esteem. "Sextimacy," as Weber terms it, traps women in
relationships that are one-sided and lack emotional intimacy. When
this happens, women routinely blame themselves instead of realizing
they should blame their romantic strategy. This book, in a
step-by-step progression, shows a better way to break the cycle and
cultivating better relationships. It teaches women how to recognize
when they are in a Sextimacy event as opposed to the beginning of a
mutually fulfilling relationship that won't leave them racked with
morning-after regrets. And it gives clear direction about what
women can do to find warm romantic partnerships that serve their
needs. Using real stories from women of various ages and stages of
life, Weber shows how patterns of behavior may develop that produce
a vulnerability to being used. Starting in childhood and proceeding
through the crucial teen years, she illustrates the factors that
may go into this limited approach to cultivating romantic
relationships, and provides clear tips on how to stop. Including a
series of self-assessments, the book offers women insight into the
patterns that rob them of the opportunities to grow and to fulfill
their emotional needs. Anyone struggling to break the cycle of
having sex without the attendant intimacy they crave will find in
these pages a warm and ready approach to finding love and
fulfillment.
