Perfect for you if...

You're curious about your own desires but feel awkward or ashamed asking questions directly.
You want to understand your partner better and have better conversations about what you both actually enjoy.
You appreciate data-driven explanations that make complex topics feel less taboo.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for explicit instructional guides or how-to techniques rather than psychology and insight.
You prefer anecdotal stories to research findings and statistical analysis.
You're seeking fantasy material itself rather than a thoughtful examination of desire.

About this book

Tell Me What You Want examines sexual fantasies and desire based on scientific survey research. Justin J. Lehmiller, author of the Sex and Psychology blog, explores what Americans want sexually and whether those desires can be fulfilled. The book offers an examination of fantasy worlds and what they reveal about people. It aims to help readers understand their own sexual desires and how to pursue them within relationships, while also recognizing the different desires of their partners. Lehmiller argues that greater understanding of the diversity of human sexual desire can reduce anxiety and shame about personal sexual fantasies and increase understanding of partners' needs. The book is intended to help readers improve their sex lives.
