Despite sex being an integral component of a romantic relationship and sexual problems ranking among the main sources of friction between newly-married couples, research on the topic hasn't
progressed much beyond Masters and Johnson's work according to Noland (communication studies, Northeastern U., Boston). With the goal of helping people become competent interpersonal
communicators about sex with intimate partners as well as health care providers, and teenage children, she presents vignettes that treat communication problems related to messages about sex and
advice on how to start or improve conversations about sex. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
