From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess recounts a therapist’s midlife sexual awakening, as she bravely explores relationships, sex, and pleasure—and learns that it’s never too late to desire and be desired. At forty-eight years old, after her husband announced he was in love with someone else, Alisa Kriegel was determined to finally figure out this essential part of herself. As a psychologist, she had the tools to help others; now, it was time to help herself. Letting go of decades of shame and giving herself permission for pleasure was just the beginning of jumping into a series of adventures in online dating, sex, and romance. From sex clubs in New York City to a canoe trip in the Canadian wilderness, this memoir offers readers an insight-filled journey into one woman’s mid-life discoveries about sex, love, and relationships—and a behind-the-scenes, in-depth analysis of women’s sexuality.

Alisa Kriegel is a psychologist with a thriving private practice in New York City working with adults and couples. She is on a mission to give people permission to seek pleasure and believes everyone deserves to experience incredible, mind-blowing sex. This is her first memoir. Her podcast, Let’s Talk About Sex, Really, is on all platforms. She lives in New York, NY.
