This book is a FUN read! Amy tells her tales in a delightful style and somehow weaves in what she is learning about herself, about relationships, boundaries, desire, choice, and so much more. Highly recommended! Who would have thought a book of date stories would be a page-turner? -Betty Martin, Author of The Art of Receiving and Giving: The Wheel of Consent I will admit I didn't know what to expect going into this book. What I found was a book that's sometimes funny, sometimes sexy, sometimes profound, and always bitingly honest. There's a lot going on here: tantra, missed opportunities, awkwardness, tenderness, and kissing. Lots of kissing. There's something else here, too: genuine lessons from a life examined, delivered softly, without preachiness or lecturing. I highly recommend this book-it's a joy to read. -Franklin Veaux, author of More Than Two A fun and light read! For those dating, you can literally copy and paste some of the 'thanks but not thanks' messages for when there's no inspiration to continue connecting. The author shows the inner dialogue so many of us have when dating but are afraid to be honest. If more of us could take the approach of communicating with kind honesty, I think we would all become much more skilled socially and happier as a result! -Amy Chan, author of Breakup Bootcamp: The Science of Rewiring Your Heart I could not put this book down. A tour de force in women's sexual empowerment, this book is for every woman who finds herself nodding and smiling during a bad date even as she's wondering why she's sitting there; it is for every woman who has the kind of male-oriented sex that sucks her soul dry, while knowing there's something better; it is for every woman who yearns for relationship depth and connectivity but isn't quite sure how to find it. While challenging all sorts of cultural norms, Amy guides the reader through her fascinating journey of honesty (with kindness!), learning to set and hold boundaries, learning to ask for what she wants, and so much more. -Jane Steckbeck, Clinical Sexologist, Certified Intimacy Coach, Writer, Speaker, and Blogger.

Author Information

Luckily for me, in college, I discovered the key to a fulfilled life when Joseph Campbell taught me to Follow My Bliss. So instead of going to med school, I became a potter. Ever since then, I've followed inspiration. First, I had a thriving pottery career, then became a Nia (pleasure-based movement) teacher, and then studied to become a Processwork therapist and a Realization Process Meditation teacher. My bachelors degree is in Religious Studies from Wesleyan University, and my masters is in Process-Oriented Psychology from the Process Work Institute in Portland.
