Book description
The prairie vole, a small rodent from the mid-western plains of the
USA, has it made. Not only do prairie voles pair off for life but they
spend hours grooming and cuddling in their burrows. At their peak, they
will make love for two-day marathons! They are great parents too, with
the male vole completely involved in caring for his pups. In contrast,
their cousins the meadow voles mate indiscriminately and live solitary
lives, with the female meadow vole left to bring up her offspring alone.
Because neuroscientists are so interested in the radical difference
between these two lifestyles, we know more about the brain make-up of
prairie voles than any other creature. Thanks to them, we are now
beginning to understand the biochemical pathways of love shared by all
species of animals, including ourselves, and the key to a more
fulfilling sex life. Marital Therapist Andrew G Marshall combines this
latest scientific research with twenty-five years' professional
experience of helping couples turn around their love lives. In Make Love
Like a Prairie Vole, he has created a programme that will not only
transform routine into passionate sex but also leads to the kind of
lovemaking that will bind you and your partner together as a couple.
