Is it ever too late to connect to the sexual part of yourself? At forty-eight years old, after her husband announced he had fallen in love with a man, 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.
Alisa’s bold and vulnerable story told with honesty and humor, shows us that it’s possible to have a sexual awakening—and to experience the thrill of feeling desired—at any age. 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.

Advanced Praise for From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess

“A bold and audacious memoir that takes us behind the curtain of a psychotherapist. And what’s there is a story that’s authentic, vulnerable, relatable and ultimately filled with both the joy and pain of what it means to be sexually alive.”—Ian Kerner, sex therapist and New York Times best-selling author of She Comes First

“In From Sexless Marriage to Sex Goddess: A Memoir, psychologist Alisa Kriegel, PhD, offers a compelling and unflinchingly honest account of her personal and professional transformation. Confronting the emotional and physical realities of a sexless marriage, Kriegel turns inward, applying clinical insight to navigate a journey of rediscovery, empowerment, and sexual awakening. With intellectual rigor and emotional depth, she explores the intersections of identity, desire, and self-actualization. This memoir is a powerful testament to resilience, personal growth, and the importance of embracing one’s whole self—body, mind, and spirit.” —Jessica Fahey, Manhattan Book Review
