I’m honoured to interview Dr. Peggy Kleinplatz, author of one of my favourite books, Magnificent Sex: Lessons from Extraordinary Lovers.  Dr Kleinplatz shared some of the lessons and wisdom she learnt from the extraordinary lovers she researched. 

We had a rich conversation exploring why great lovers are made not born, how the cure for low sexual desire is to create a sex life that is worth wanting,  the truth about sex in long term relationships, how to create gourmet sex and more. This is essential listening!  

Dr. Kleinplatz shares:

• The eight qualities of extraordinary lovers 
• The lessons learnt from extraordinary lovers 
• Why the cure for low sexual desire is desirable sex 
• Why sex doesn’t need to fade in long term relationships 
• The illusion of spontaneous sex
• Why great lovers are made not born
• How to create gourmet sex
