Publisher Description

Are you in charge of your love life?

If you think so, you're wrong -- hormones control our sex drives and direct our love lives. In The Alchemy of Love and Lust, Dr. Theresa Crenshaw, a renowned sex therapist and researcher, unmasks the hidden agendas of our hormones as we progress through different sexual stages -- from adolescence through old age.

Along with well-known hormones, Dr. Crenshaw introduces lesser known but potent influences that make up our "sex soup." The effects of these chemicals working together and individually offer insight into some compelling issues:

–Do people become addicted to one another through scent and touch?

–Can we determine our romantic destinies by altering our hormonal profiles?

Romantics needn't worry that science will eliminate the mystery of attraction. To the contrary, this program helps us discover romance, rekindle it, and keep it alive. Filled with often surprising information, The Alchemy of Love and Lust explains the effects of our sex hormones and gives us specific, practical suggestions on how to monitor them.

Quotes

  • “Dr. Crenshaw has described a brave new world of hormones in a book that reads with the fascination of science fiction. It touches down like a tornado, scoring a direct hit on the politically correct edifice of the social construction of gender.” 

    — John Money, director, Psychonormal Research Unit, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine 
  • “The Alchemy of Love and Lust establishes Theresa Crenshaw as our nation’s leader in healthy hormone education.” 

    — Walter M. Bortz II, M.D., Palo Alto Medical Foundation
  • “Based on extensive research…The book is a spicy treatise on the basic difference between men and women.” 

    — San Diego Magazine
  • “A spirited account of how hormones influence gender differences and sexual behaviors, along with advice on how to take control of these potent biochemical forces…Uninhibited, upbeat, and opinionated.”
