Combining over fifteen years of clinical experience with her groundbreaking research into the science of flow, Dr. Emily Jamea's ANATOMY OF DESIRE delivers a fresh perspective on the untapped potential of our sex lives, intimate partner connections, and personal wellbeing.
"Dr. Emily Jamea makes difficult issues simple and accessible via her central tenet that expressing our authentic sexual selves is not about venturing into the unknown but rather searching within ourselves and tapping into our innate, albeit uncultivated, sexual potential. Dr. Emily guides us on this journey with care and curiosity” – Ian Kerner, PhD LMFT, NY Times best-selling author of She Comes First
The experience of effortlessness, total absorption, and loss of space and time are feelings that everyone wants to enjoy while making love. However, regardless of everyone’s desire for better sex, passion and sexual satisfaction tend to diminish in longer-term relationships. This is a problem because studies consistently show that sexual satisfaction is key to relationship satisfaction.
Great sex is something we all deserve.
As a seasoned sex and relationship therapist, Dr. Emily Jamea has developed a unique approach for boosting sexual desire and pleasure. Anatomy of Desire identifies five secrets―sensuality, curiosity, adaptability, vulnerability, and attunement―that help her clients transform sex from sub-par to extraordinary.
Woven through each secret is the science of “flow state.” Drawing from her first-of-its-kind published research, Dr. Emily teaches readers how to apply the science of flow to get the sex they want despite the challenges of today’s modern world. Clients, workshop participants, and hundreds of thousands of social media followers have already benefited from her approach.
Dr. Emily Jamea’s debut book, Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion makes her novel approach available to everyone.
Dr. Emily Jamea is a sex and relationship therapist based in Houston, TX. With over 15 years of experience, she has helped thousands of people create connection and cultivate passion.
Her debut book is Anatomy of Desire: Five Secrets to Create Connection and Cultivate Passion (Nov 2024).
Emily speaks nationally and internationally to a diverse range of audiences including educators, health and mental health professionals, executive and corporate groups, and the general public. Her expertise has been featured in Oprah Magazine, CNN, USA Today, NBC, and more. She offers online workshops as part of her mission to make her knowledge accessible to everyone. Dr. Jamea hosts the popular Love & Libido Podcast, writes columns for Psychology Today and Healthy Women, and posts across all the social media channels @dremilyjamea.
In her free time, Emily enjoys spending time with her husband and children, traveling as much as possible, and salsa dancing and painting when she gets the chance.

warmth, and clinical expertise to move the client or student toward fulfillment of their erotic and
sexual wellness potential. She exudes intellect, heart, and compassion with an upbeat flair.” –

relationship . . . Everyone reading this book will find hope for their long-term erotic connection."

“Emily Jamea is a new, unique voice in the sexology field. Her book moves away from the
popular advice about spicing up your sex life and presents a fresh perspective on how to maintain
eroticism in long-term relationships. She presents a set of five scientifically validated, personally
relevant qualities that are accessible to all readers. Everyone will walk away from this book with
clarity and purpose about how to cultivate higher levels of sexual satisfaction and enduring
intimacy in their relationships.” – Barry McCarthy, PhD, author of dozens of titles on sex
and relationships.
