From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess, Alisa Kriegel PhD

Description

In From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess, psychologist Alisa Kriegel, PhD, turns her clinical lens inward in a bold, funny, and deeply honest memoir about reclaiming sexual identity in midlife. When her husband reveals he’s fallen in love with a man, Kriegel—forty-eight and suddenly single—decides it’s time to explore the part of herself she’s long ignored.

With wit, vulnerability, and fearless curiosity, she takes readers on a journey through online dating escapades, erotic discovery, and unexpected self-realization—from New York City sex clubs to quiet moments of introspection in the Canadian wilderness. Along the way, she dismantles decades of shame and silence surrounding women’s desire, challenging cultural taboos about aging, sex, and self-worth.

For fans of Eat Pray Love and Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, this memoir is a candid, liberating reminder that it’s never too late to desire—and to be desired.
