Her candor about her own background makes this more than a self-help guide—it’s a shared journey. —Joan Price, author of The Ultimate Guide to Sex after 50

In Good Sex, Jessica Graham offers clear, compassionate, and provocative instruction for integrating mindfulness and sexuality.

It is meant to inspire and ignite possibility in a world that still holds the illusion of a sex-spirit divide. —Deborah Eden Tull, Zen teacher, founder of Mindful Living Revolution, and author of Relational Mindfulness: Reclaiming Our Shared Power in an Age of Disconnect —
A skilled mindfulness and meditation guide, Jessica Graham takes the deeply personal and spiritual art of mindfulness and shows us how it can be applied for massive change inside and out, and most importantly that sex should not be excluded but in fact is an integral part of that journey. —Moushumi Ghose, MA, MFT, author of Classic Sex Positions Reinvented
I can’t imagine a person more qualified to write this book. Besides being a hardcore spiritual warrior, Jessica Graham has dedicated her life to exploring and understanding sexuality in all its forms. —Michael Taft, author of The Mindful Geek
"According to Graham, spiritual teacher, writer, filmmaker, and actor, anyone can have good, or at least better, sex through meditation and mindfulness. To that end, the author's first book provides exercises that help readers get in touch with their bodies, focus on their minds, and communicate feelings. Graham tackles the more difficult areas of shame and insecurity and suggests ways to relieve negative feelings. As in other areas of life, finding acceptance in the moment can lead to greater patience with oneself and others. All of which influences a sexual experience. While Graham writes explicitly about the sex experience, this isn't a "how to." Instead, this work presents a spiritual path to finding authentic sexual communication with another person. Recommended. —Library Journal
