520    "After spending years in a sexless marriage, Rena Martine 
       sought out a therapist to "fix" her. Instead, the 
       therapist empowered Rena to walk the path from shameful to
       shameless. Rena ended her vanilla marriage in favor of a 
       kinky lifestyle, released the dictum of monogamy to 
       embrace an open relationship structure, and dropped the 
       perfectionist "cool girl" act to show up as her actual 
       self on dates. But learning how to do all of that was a 
       full-time job. Featuring frank and relatable anecdotes 
       from Rena's own journey, as well as the stories of her 
       clients, Shameless guides readers through the murky waters
       of understanding and acting on their own desires, 
       including Internal narratives and unconscious biases that 
       may be trapping you in patterns of shame. The book gives 
       you actionable and tested advice on: Sexual curiosity and 
       exploration with or without a partner Healthy relationship
       structures, monogamous or not Sexual experimentation 
       outside the vanilla box Written with empathy and candor, 
       this book gives women a broad understanding of intimacy's 
       many forms and invites them to be curious, confident, and 
       courageous about what they really want"--|cProvided by
