Product Description
Dr. Pepper Schwartz has spent the past three decades encouraging women to embrace their sexual appetites. But when she became a single woman after 23 years of marriage, she had to take her own advice and discover how sex and dating could work for her at this unique time in her life. Prime is her story of exploration—sex, adventure, and romance—spread out like a road map for women of every age. Whether you're looking to wake up a tired sex life, start a new relationship, or commit to the love of your life, you can find tempting tips and genuinely helpful guidance. Prime invites every woman to relish her sexuality, take risks, and go after what she really wants.

 Sensual August 5, 2008

This is a great read,not just for single women in their "prime," but for men and women of any age. Other amazing book about this topic is:I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't
 Great book in helping us stay grounded in our approach July 12, 2008
Dr. Pepper's book candidly looks at dating at mid-life. Her anecdotes provide personal insight, and allow us to live, experience and learn through her. It's going to take several meetings and relationships before finding "the one," if at all....and Pepper reminds the reader that maybe finding "the one" isn't what we should be after - that it's more of the journey, and loving the journey instead. As I go through this process, it makes it a heck of a lot easier to keep Pepper's experiences in mind - I know I'm not the only one going through this....I'm not the only one who will experience losses. Great book! I'd even tell men to read it - I think they'd learn a lot as well!
 More like Pepper's little black book than helpful advice May 21, 2008
I was disappointed because more than an empowering book for women in their prime, it was a little black book of her conquests. I couldn't even finish it. At first, I was intrigued, but then it became like a revolving door (sorry Pepper!). Plus, she has a condescending attitude towards people like me who prefer a more long-term serious relationship. Living in the era of AIDS, HPV, and herpes outbreaks does not engender me to leap into casual flings just because I can. I mean, I'm shocked she never even tested these people before bed-hopping. And the indifferent way she brushes off amours that want something more but that stifle her "growth" is positively aggravating. I had to put it down (and thankfully, return it to the library).
"The Creepy Professor" December 11, 2007
Okay, it was a wonderful book. Interesting and absorbing, but because the author is a "Sex Researcher" the book a tad creepy. It's like if Jeffery Dahmer wrote a cookbook. While your reading this you can't help wondering about whether this lifestyle influences her academic persona. I'd have much preferred if this had been published as "By Anonymous".
I Couldn't Put it Down November 5, 2007
This book reminded me of the book Eat Pray Love. The authors both tell a raw tale of the truth, which takes a lot of courage to put it out there for the world to examine and judge. I am sure there are those who will judge with a critical opinion, it is those who choose not to look and fix their own lives, and instead spend time and energy in being critical of others. While you may not agree with the author's style of living, kudos for her for telling about it. I loved reading every adventure described in such detail that I thought I was there. I also thought "oh, I know one of those guys" and "humm, that's happened to me before". I highly recommend this book.
