Summary: Secrets of Sexual Attraction
Comment: It is rather interesting to compare this work written in 1995 to David Deida's work which appeared in 2002. This earlier work is rather revealing. Not only does Deida open up and share some secrets about his own relationship, he shows tremendous and at times breathtaking insight in regards to the female psyche. If anyone understands women, it is David Deida!
What this book ultimately reveals is a growing awareness of how men and women have both a male and female essence. The arc of polarity between the two is what counts in the realm of sexual satisfaction. If you have more masculine energy then you will attract a more feminine partner.
"For magnetic energy to flow, you need a north pole and a south pole. For sexual energy to flow, you need two poles too." ~David Deida
"Intimate Communion" not only explains why our relationships go through periods of dissatisfaction, but it reveals why we also go through intense moments of sheer ecstasy.
What makes a woman invite a man deeper into her world? Could it be as easy as the man listening to her and being fully present, strong and passionate? What are the qualities of an ideal woman? Yes, beauty does seem to be first, but intelligence is fifth on the list. It seems men want beauty and sex and women want presence and intelligence. Makes sense. What is a woman's deepest desire? It seems we women know what we want, but at times need to know why we are not attracting what we desire most.
Once you realize what attracts you to your opposite, you can start to work on areas to increase desire in your relationship. To find out which sexual essence you possess, there is a sexual essence quiz. This book also emphasizes the three main stages of Intimacy. Intimate Communion is the goal. This place where you are spontaneously loving or at least open as the sky. Where you see arguments as a place for self-improvement and welcome anger, extreme lust, the feminine sea of emotions and masculine possession.
Do women really want to be selfishly possessed? Or is it that the man realizes that when we say we want to be alone, we actually want the man to stay?
I still think there is time to just be by yourself or literally withdraw a bit from your partner and David seems to promote an absolute openness that might be exhausting for some individuals who enjoy their quiet space or a pout now and then. I see room for a woman being allowed to retreat, renew herself and then open again when she is ready. If a man is not sensitive to a woman's needs, then she should not be expected to remain so open that she continues to be wounded. I think when a woman is finally ready to return to the relationship, the most important thing a man can do is listen. I think we all just want to be understood.
David Deida seems mostly interested in helping his readers find their deepest gifts and literally become a magnet for their partner to be attracted to. The process to get to this point does contain risks.
After reading this book you will know:
Why men hate women giving them directions.
Why surrender can be erotic.
Why men have trouble committing to a relationship even when they are ?in love.?
Why the essential form of the feminine bad mood is the hurt of being unloved and the anger that results from feeling abandoned or rejected.
Why you can attract the wrong partner if you are giving off the wrong energy.
Why is confidence, vision and guidance so sexy?
What is amazing is how aware you become of everything around you. After reading this book, even songs on the radio will have a completely new twist.You start realizing that what men are singing about is at times directly related to the top 6 things men want in a woman and what women are singing about is the top 6 things women want in a man. There are also men who sing what women want to hear and seem to have that deeper awareness of what women really want.
While I normally like to read all David Deida?s books while I'm snuggled up in my comfy bed, this might be a book you want to read twice. Once just to read the book and then once to study and make notes!
The more books you read by this author, the better your relationship becomes. Even if only one partner is reading the books, it can make a big difference in your relationship.
It is as if these principles seep into your very soul. Suddenly you realize all the things you could be doing to encourage a more fulfilling relationships and all the things you are doing that are destroying what you want the most.
I can also highly recommend:
The Way of the Superior Man
Dear Lover: A Woman's Guide to Enjoying Love?s Deepest Bliss

David Deida's books are for men and women who are turned on by spiritual ecstasy and want to break free from sexual neutrality. Reading any book by David Deida is a comforting embrace for the heart, a slow dance with your soul and enlightenment for the mind.

Summary: take some care here
Comment: deida's stuff is pretty much just adi da's stuff with a slight twist. deida was a one-time devotee of da's organisation, adidam, and if you check through da's books (especially early ones like 'the enlightenment of the whole body', 'the garbage and the goddess', 'love of the two-armed form' and 'the dreaded gom-goo') you have more or less already seen the scope of deida's teaching. also it might help to know that da is considered to be a dangerous, misleading failure by the majority of spiritual teachers world-wide, as well as many noted ex-students, and as deida's work is such a close match to da's then maybe it is better left alone.
