Segments of Women’s Sexual Passages and comments by Elizabeth Davis have been featured in Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, Marie Claire, Self, Glamour, National Enquirer, and Parenting magazines.

If you have ever wondered:

  • Why does sexual desire fluctuate at different times of the cycle?
  • How do pregnancy, birth and lactation impact sexuality?
  • How does history of sexual abuse affect desire?
  • Can the choice for celibacy be a positive one?
  • What exactly is the “love hormone,” oxytocin?

Women’s Sexual Passages, by Elizabeth Davis, has the answers you seek!

And did you know that:

  • The intensity of orgasm correlates to the estrogen peak of the cycle. This hormone is to stimulate circulation in the pelvic area.
  • In monogamous couples, sexual rhythms tend to synchronize, with male testosterone surges matching female peaks of estrogen and progesterone.
  • Testosterone levels soar in women during their forties, which partially explains why women at this age tend to be attracted to younger lovers.
  • Due to hormonal changes at menopause, activity in the right hemisphere of the brain — the side associated with intuitive visionary experience — increases dramatically.
