from Aurelia Ignatio
"LUSTLOS" is an honest book about the things most people keep quiet about in relationships: about lust that disappears, about unequal needs, about shame, affairs and the feeling of being "somehow not normal". Author Aurelia Ignatio shows that waning lust is rarely a judgment on a relationship - it is often a protective signal. To you and to each other.
