Piper The comeback of your lust
German, 2024, Dania Schiftan, Christiane Stella Bongertz
It's all a matter of practice, says Dania Schiftan. Orgasms. Sex. And the sensation of pleasure. The sex therapist has written a handbook for all women who believe they have lost their libido. Good news: you can get it back - with just three minutes of commitment a day.
In her first book "Coming Soon", sex therapist Dania Schiftan focussed on the female orgasm. She explained how more women can experience climax through targeted exercises. Volume two - "Keep it Coming" - focussed on couple sexuality. True to the motto that good sex is above all a matter of practice. Now her new and third book in the series has been published. "The Comeback of Your Lust" tackles a problem that many women are familiar with: the dwindling of their own lust. But don't worry, it's far from lost. According to Dania, you can revitalise it with a few - how could it be otherwise - exercises.
Perhaps you're thinking now: Who has time for that? Fair objection. That's why the author uses a technique in her book that she calls "pleasure micro-training". LMT for short. This special training is based on the concept of so-called "micro habits". These are tiny little habits and behaviours that you integrate into your everyday life and that lead to big changes over a longer period of time. They are so effective because the hurdle to implementing them consistently on a daily basis is small. ("Atomic Habits" by James Clear is an excellent take on this topic).
Under LMT, the author summarises a catalogue of exercises that includes touch, the pelvic floor and movement. In this way, the reader should find her way back to arousal and pleasure with habitual mini-steps. You can find out which exercises are most suitable for you with the help of a tested exercise in the book.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
