Message:

Sex therapist Bettina Arndt will answer your questions on our Mismatched Sex Drives message board.
Date: Thursday July 23th
Time: 3-4pm

Bettina Arndt started her career as Down-Under's Dr Ruth. A trained clinical psychologist, she was one of Australia's first sex therapists, talking about sex on television and radio as well as teaching medical students and other professionals. She then spent twenty years writing about broader social issues, acquiring a reputation as a respected social commentator.

In The Sex Diaries, Bettina Arndt uncovers the night-time drama being played out in bedrooms everywhere, revealing how ordinary couples cope with the tensions of managing their sex supply. Bettina recruited ninety eight couples to keep diaries recording their intimate negotiations over sex. Who feels like having sex? Who doesn't? How do couples cope if one person wants it more than the other? She draws on her thirty-five years of experience to provide a provocative analysis of desire which challenges many of our basic assumptions about sex.

The immensely personal stories will make you laugh out loud, wince in self-recognition, recoil in horror and green with envy. The result is a rich tapestry of sexual experience, which added to Bettina's incisive, challenging new ideas, has already made the book a talking point around the world. Bettina is provocative, sassy and entertaining - her book includes chapters entitled "Laundry Gets you Laid", "Get that thing away from me" and "Just do it".
