Abstract

This paper is the response for the book critique assignment based on The Gift of Sex - A Guide to Sexual Fulfillment by Clifford and Joy Penner as well as my response for each section in the book.

The authors discussed the biblical perspective of sex, explained the anatomy of the bodies of male and female, the total sexual experience, the different sexual issues from lack of time, birth control, erectile dysfunction to pornography and other sexual addictions, then give tips to enhance the sexual experience inviting God to the relationship and building sexual passion as well as intimacy all this within the context of the marriage.

They do recommended couples that are encountering difficulties to seek professional help of psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric social workers and ministers, but they specifically recommend that helpers would be competent only if they were specifically train and experienced in doing sexual therapy. Throughout the book they share different exercises or techniques that will help couples to enhance their sexual experience and obtain greater sexual pleasure.
