About this audiobook

In Sex Outside the Lines, Dr. Chris Donaghue describes the holes in society's definition of "normal," taking a sharp eye to institutions such as marriage, cheating, virginity, identity, and sexual orientation. He also examines all the ways that accepting society's "truths" have led to the demise of long-term relationships and sexual pleasure. All of this misinformation is showing up in your bedroom and preventing you from having the sex life you're entitled to.

In Donaghue's years of training in sex and couples therapy, he has developed highly successful methods for freeing clients from sexual hang-ups, enabling them to let go of shame and embarrassment. Donaghue pulls apart cultural phobias with a "sex positive" therapy practice, a kind of sexual deprograming that helps people see and accept the desires they have-even if they don't align with societal expectations-are really natural, healthy, and part of having a great sex life.

    Heavy on opinions from the author, light on support for his arguments. Tone comes across as self-righteous indignation and arrogance. I appreciated some of his chapters about redefining relationships to embrace non-traditional interactions, fluid models of sexuality and sex positivity. However, some of the chapters were just long ramblings on his opinions about male sexual oppression and how independence is selfish but codependency and inequality in relationships is the “right way”. I’ll take patriarchal brainwashing for $1000 please. This could’ve been an article in “GQ” or “Men’s Health” because there’s not enough unique substance for a full book. Much better books on sexuality in the 21st century out there. Quit this one 1/2 way in to focus my limited time on better quality books.
