Are You Ready to Open to Love's Deepest Bliss? Every woman knows the fairy tale: find the right man, give him what he wants and needs, and he'll love you forever. But when the myth you've been asked to believe fails to deliver-when you sense you've been settling for far less than you know in your heart is possible-how do you attract and keep a man capable of meeting what you most passionately yearn for? In Dear Lover: A Woman's Guide to Men, Sex, and Love's Deepest Bliss, David Deida explores every aspect of the feminine practice of spiritual intimacy, from sexuality and lovemaking to family and career to emotions, trust, and commitment. Presented as a collection of letters from a man to his "dear lover," here is this internationally acclaimed writer's invitation to practice love as a living art as you discover: - Why your man is always your choice-and how to choose a man of deep integrity who will satisfy the needs of your body, heart, and spirit - "Sexual essence" and the three stages of loving: how to understand your fluctuating capacity to experience divine connection with another - Knowing when to end a relationship and how to deal with the "him-shaped void" your absent man leaves behind - Daily exercises to help you and your partner move from separation to openness in two-bodied devotional trust Ultimately, what every woman wants is to give and receive love fully. Whether you're partnered or alone, Dear Lover reveals that "your love is the same love that yearns to open at everybody's heart. You will attract and inspire a man as willing and able to open as you are. Constant yearning is the call to open and give yourself to all as love's offering.".

Critiques I agree with;
1. Way too repetitive
2. Cheesy, soft porn style at times
3. He describes an ideal without explaining how mere mortals can get there
4. He uses the word God when he means sacred love
I read his Superior Man book which was a star better than this. I wanted to get the other perspective, which is why I picked this one up. I feel he is way better at depicting the source of the issues many women (and men) have at reaching their full human potential in love, sex and relationships, than he is in giving practical advice at how to avoid these issues. He is a bit better at that in the Superior Man book.
As for those who complain this book is sexist and/or (shudder) “problematic”, I would argue that complaint is a reflection of the four critiques noted above. Perhaps the style is a direct result of him trying to appeal to a “spirituality”, New Age audience. If instead he tried to explain tantric ideas as a profound intellectual attempt at understanding a million years of human evolution, and how humans can achieve their full potential within the limits of evolution’s biological and cultural expressions, the book would be more useful and uplifting.
I wish there were better books for both men and women that explain these ideas without the cheesy, New Age rhetoric. ( )
