LOS ANGELES—Sexologist and sex therapist Cyndi Darnell’s debut book, Sex When You Don't Feel Like It: The Truth About Mismatched Libido & Rediscovering Desire, will be published by Rowman & Littlefield and released in June 2022.
Mismatched desire in relationships is the #1 reason couples seek the help of sexuality professionals. Traditionally seen as a “woman’s problem,” fluctuating desire is something experienced by people of all genders yet is often misunderstood and rarely discussed openly. Darnell's book aims to provide readers with evidence-based information matched with prompts, practices and reflections to help them understand what they’re feeling, why they feel stuck, what they really want, and how to get there.
Said Darnell, "I’ve worked with countless people and couples over the past 25 years, and sexual desire remains one of the most misunderstood topics we discuss together. People have always struggled with issues related to both low and high libido, and its impact on relationships is palpable. Though sexual desire has historically been viewed as something ‘natural,’ people continue to struggle to ‘get in the mood,’ and it’s high time we consider whether it’s not desire itself that’s the problem, but how we relate to it."
