Summary: Not for the 20-something female
Review: As a 28 year old mom with a 14 month old son and mild depression, I thought I'd buy this book. However, when I read the book, it told me nothing I didn't already know. I wish she could have written a chapter that reaches women in their 20s having these issues. I literally ear-marked 3 pages, which were the only three pages out of the whole book that applied to me. Moreso for women in their 30s-60s.

Summary: This is a book that can make your life better.
Review: Dr. Reichman addresses the sexual problems that so many women have, but doctors usually dismiss or ignore. At last, a book that gives honest and solid information to women of all ages. Love her style and honesty. From seeing her on Today show, I trust her caring concern for women's health, which so many studies and doctors place after men's health issues. I've recommended this book to many of my friends and after reading it they have all thanked me. Most important, they say it has impacted their life positively.

Summary: A frank, engaging sexual self help book.
Review: Dr. Reichman tackles a delicate subject in her latest book, "I'm Not in the Mood Tonight". The book deals with the loss of a woman's libido, or sex drive, and how to get it back. It's direct approach is refreshing and honest. Dr. Reichman spells out the possible causes of decreased sex drive, some of which you'll find very surprising. As the founder and host of the online perimenopause/menopause support group HotFlash!, I have learned that hundreds of women want to regain their sexual selves. It is very important to them. Dr. Reichman's book does a terrific job of explaining the many culprits for a declining interest in sex. She takes a great deal of time in offering solutions and therapies for getting our sex lives back on track.Sue R.N., BSN

Summary: A good start for client and clinician discussion
Review: I have used this book in my clinical practice as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner for the past couple of years to treat Female Diminished Libido. I loan my copy out to my patients who don't want to purchase this book and have had tremendous success with my patients. I have my client read the book over a couple of weeks while waiting for lab results to come back and then we discuss her lab results and what she discovered in the book. The book has had the beneficial effect that most of my patients are able to honestly reveal if there is marital discord that may not have been admitted to in the first appointment. Opening up the way for a sex therapist or marriage counselor has been another positive benefit of this book. I find that many of my patients were reluctant to consider counseling in the first appointment, but were willing to include counseling as part of the treatment plan of their decreased libido. So many women learn about the female body and functions for the first time while reading this book. Every patient has been very happy with this book and no longer felt alone with this problem. They were able to realize that other women have suffered with this same problem and that, most of the time, there is positive results with hormones, exercise, honest communication with their spouse, counseling and/or treatment for depression. I plan to continue to use this book in my treatment of Diminished Female Libido.

Summary: It's something men need to know also!
Review: I NEVER know why women aren't in the mood!! The frustration!! AAAAAAA!! I bought this book to help me in this area, and I have to say it has helped me out a lot. It's a must read for any guy. Another great book to read is The Hormone Desire; The Truth About Testosterone, Sexuality and Menopause. I know, these are books for women, but if you know why she isn't in the mood, you can take what is found in these two books and use it to put her IN the mood!

Summary: I recommend this to my readers
Review: I wanted to know more about women who have low libidos and their solutions for it, so I read up on it. For a better understanding on why low libidos happen, and different solutions for it, read this one. If I can understand it...well hey.... I also recommend Okay, So I don't Have A Headache. These two books have helped me better understand why women are rarely in the mood. Perry Rose, author of I Love You...Will You Marry Me?!

Summary: More for your peri/menopausal woman
Review: I was impressed by the information provided in the book. Also, Dr. Reichman is quite entertaining in her representations. But I found that this book was more geared toward those women who are peri-menopausal or menopausal, or even post-menopausal. As a 29 year old, I found some of the information a bit 'out of my league'. I can't say that it didn't help me at all; it certainly did. But I guess I was looking for something that was aimed at someone who spends a lot of time going, "I'm not sick or depressed, I'm not middle-aged, I'm not unattracted to my husband, I'm not on medication; what's wrong with me?" Buy it, but just know that's not the purpose of it.
