This book explores the ancient wisdom, stirring the intimacy back to the sacred practices. It honors both the body and the spirit, leading to spiritual transformation, and giving foundations for something that lasts and doesn’t get boring.

It redefines sex as Sacred Energy Exchange, and explains that sex is an experience of moving energy. It explores how to build awareness and connect to the energetic body first, then how to sense, move, and play with the body’s energy. Since our body is pure atomic energy, we have to learn to sense the energies of our bodies and how to work with them.

This is a very interesting book which reconnects to the wealth of ancient wisdom about energy and how that energy exchange works in sexual partnership. It touches upon the knowledge of Tantra, Taoism, and Kundalini philosophies. The knowledge that got lost, especially in the Western world.
It also presents patient examples and different techniques that were applied.

The book combines ancient wisdom with everyday issues and how to solve them. There is a lot of depth in those pages teaching energetic alignment and emotional healing by applying mindfulness, meditations, and more.

There is a lot of wealth in this book. Personally, I prefer something more concise when it comes to spiritual work.

Thank you BenBella Books and NetGalley for an ARC of this book.

Laura Berman’s newest book teaches us how to stand in our sexual power.

This is a book everyone needs to read. Sex magic is something we can all attain and Laura explains how in this incredible, informative book. She explains what sexual power is and how it is attainable.

There is a huge amount of depth within these pages. It covers subjects that may have been expected in the title but it’s the majority of the book that really captured my attention. The parts that truly were magic including the exercises provided to clearly explain how to lean into your sexual authenticity.

I loved reading about uncurling the kundalini, the dichotomy of Tantric and Taoism, the unleashing our energy in our body, through unblocking chakras, somatic experiencing, ecstatic dance and being vulnerable with oneself.

I loved this book and will go back and reread it more slowly absorbing all its beauty and wisdom.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of Laura Berman’s SEX MAGIC.
I’m still not sure what I think of this book. I will need to reflect more on the learnings and see how it fits into my everyday..
Regardless, it was an easy read with an interesting premise. The practical tips felt accessible and worth exploring.

As a new therapist, I am so excited for this book to be released so I can recommend to so many of my clients. This book is empowering and addresses many facets of therapeutic concerns like trauma, identity and the inner child component. I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. I appreciate the opportunity to read for my honest review.

If you only read one book on sex magic, make it this one! This book addresses everything you can imagine and some stuff you may not have. It has clear, concise instructions regarding intention, trauma and inner child questions to help you not only have the magical sex you want to have but to get to the bottom of what story you've made yourself into and to show you that you can change your story at anytime and be a sex god or goddess in your own right. The author includes real life stories of clients that can be relatable and show you the inner power that you've always had. She also includes how to make sigils, which I enjoyed very much.

This book has made me reflect on how I feel about sex and think about it differently- as a way to use intimacy and energy for personal growth. The author shows how we can embrace both meaningful and adventurous sex. It looks at sex as a way of expressing connection and vulnerability.

It was an easy read and very interesting! Sexual energy, manifestation were new topics for me in this context so I learnt a lot and found the book both encouraging and eye-opening and I look forward to attracting love, abundance, and healing!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ARC. If you're open to learning and curious what you could be improving about your sex life this book is for you!

Thank you, BenBella Books, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own: Sex Magic by Dr. Laura Berman is an empowering and revolutionary guide that blends ancient spiritual wisdom with modern science to transform the way we experience intimacy. Far from being just a book about better sex, Sex Magic invites readers on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and energetic awakening.

Reading Sex Magic feels like having a warm, wise, and bold mentor in your corner—one who doesn’t shy away from truth but who leads with compassion and clarity. It’s a must-read for anyone ready to reimagine intimacy as a path to empowerment, connection, and conscious creation—both in the bedroom and beyond.

I devoured Sex Magic by Dr. Laura Berman in just one day — it was that captivating. As someone already familiar with the basics of sexual energy and manifestation, I found the book both affirming and eye-opening. Dr. Berman blends ancient wisdom with practical modern-day applications, making the concept of using sexual energy to attract love, abundance, and healing feel both powerful and accessible.

Many of the teachings resonated deeply with what I already knew, but there was still plenty to learn — especially about the layered connections between intention, pleasure, and spiritual alignment. Her writing is confident, clear, and rooted in both science and spiritual practice.

Huge thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to read this early. If you're curious about using intimacy and energy for personal growth, this book is a must-read.

If you're into tapping into your metaphysical and tantric side, this is a great book for you. There is a lot of in depth detail on both how and why certain exercises work, and how to bring them into the bedroom either solo or with a partner. A lot of great and easy to follow information in here.
