About this listen
In Rebel Love, Dr. Chris Donaghue, PhD (The Amber Rose Show with Dr. Chris), reveals how traditional dating "rules" are toxic, why everything you've learned about dating and relationships are wrong, and how to have the best sex of your life.
Dr. Chris is the sex expert for whom you've been waiting. He refuses to pathologize those whose sexuality doesn't fit in a neat little box, and he doesn't just pay lip service to the pro-sex, feminist, and body-positive mores of the day - he demands them.
Rebel Love welcomes all sexualities and identities no matter where you fall on the spectrum and empowers people to be authentically who they are both in and out of the bedroom. Dr. Chris' prescription for hotter, healthier sex - the two go hand in hand - encourages you to stop participating in patriarchal stereotypes, broaden your sexual horizons, and have amazing sex. Best of all, he shows you how with real-world examples and inspirational case studies.

For much of the 20th and 21st centuries, women’s sexuality was an uncharted territory in science, studied far less frequently - and far less seriously - than its male counterpart. That is, until Emily Nagoski’s Come As You Are, which used groundbreaking science and research to prove that the most important factor in creating and sustaining a sex life filled with confidence and joy is not what the parts are or how they’re organized but how you feel about them.

These ladies know what they want and take what they want by beating men at their own game. Utilizing the secrets exposed in this book, these women gain power, money, and status. Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

Since Darwin's day, we've been told that sexual monogamy comes naturally to our species.

But this narrative is collapsing....

What does it take to be secure in our sense of belonging and self-worth? We may hustle to attain this security through achievements, meeting expectations, or repeating affirmations to ourselves - but Dr. Brené Brown's research has shown there is ultimately one obstacle to our sense of worthiness. “Shame is the barrier,” she teaches, “and building shame resilience is how we overcome it.”

Imagine a world where the usual power dynamic is turned on its head. Where women not only stop apologizing, but seize - and enjoy - control. This is the quickly-mainstreaming world of BDSM (bondage, discipline, sadism, masochism) - and it has a lot to teach women about empowerment, negotiation, open-mindedness, and more. Popular podcaster and personal finance expert Lindsay Goldwert has traveled across the United States to meet the stars of the subculture. In Bow Down, these Alpha women show how you can reset the power dynamic in any situation to get what you want.

Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality - the “other,” the shadow side - is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses - our “existential kink.” Our existential kink also drives the dark or negative repeating patterns in our life: always choosing the abusive partner or boss, settling for less, thinking that we’re undeserving, not worthy. But it also is the source of our greatest power.

Everyone needs to love and be loved - even men.

In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are - whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.

The truth of it is, you’re woefully ill-equipped for one of the most life-defining things you will ever take on—being in a committed relationship. Whether you’re currently in one, want to be in one, half in–half out, getting over one, married, single, separated, divorced, or just overwhelmed with the whole thing, let’s cut through the morass of relationship schtick and put you back in charge.

everyone should listen to this
wow! I am blown away. I consider myself a body positive, sex positive inclusive person, but this book challenged me and revealed that I still have a lot of unlearning to do. Shines a light on the cultural messaging that we have all internalized. I am going to get the paper version bc there were so many insights I wished I could highlight, circle & underline! Definitely going to go check out this author's other book as well.

EXTREMELY PROGRESSIVE, but I loved it!!!
the book is EXTREMELY PROGRESSIVE in its views which may initially make you feel uncomfortable, but everything Dr. Chris Donaghue says is so right! i feel more empowered, sex positive, and acceptance of myself. the book is so good and so energizing that I FINALLY decided to go on that first date that I havent gone on in 5 years since my breakup. this is the only book that gave me that confidence to no longer wait till "i lose weight or look perfect" because he made me realize i am sexy and just right the way i am right now!!! Thank you Dr. Chris! it will help you shed all those fears and just live sexually!!!! enjoy!

I’m so glad to listen and read this book.
This book is something I really needed to listen to. I was in the normal sex life ( meaning low sex drive and waiting for marriage) now, I’m expanding myself to new things and being confortable with the way I look and feel just by having connection (and sex). I recommend listening to this audiobook. I don’t let my aspergers disorder, body issue and other issues ruin my sex life and myself in general and this book helped me with that. ( bear with me if this doesn’t make sense)

A bit preachy but needs to be said
A bit preachy but stuff I feel like needs to be said. It did feel a little weird to have a masculine voice tell me to “go have sex”. Part of me was like, who said you could tell me what I feel and what to do. But overall I definitely feel like most of what they said was pretty accurate on how I feel. I recommend this book for sure.

Thank you for your perspective on love, life, and sex. It was refreshing hearing a different take from the ways society has taught us to think about love, life, and sex. Continue sharing your POV as it is helpful, eye opening, and progressive.
