About the Book

Most women want sex. Not just love. Sex. But the same desire that our culture celebrates in men can leave women feeling anxious, insecure, emotionally attached, or even ashamed. Enough. In Hookup Without Heartbreak, world-renowned intimacy and relationship coach Lia Holmgren teaches women how to let go of those negative feelings and reclaim their sexual freedom. Learn how to deal with hookups who ghost you, multiple partners, unclear communication, lousy sex, that crush on your friend with benefits, exploring your fantasies while managing your expectations—even how to know who’s worth hooking up with in the first place. With signature humor and honesty, Lia offers straightforward advice as only Lia can. From the history and science behind hooking up to the do’s and don’ts of casual sex, Hookup Without Heartbreak covers everything you need to know before your next date.
