How to Make Love All the Time De Angelis, Barbara

Barbara De Angelis wrote this in the late '80s, back when self-help books were allowed to be blunt about sex and emotions without drowning in corporate therapy-speak. This is a relationship manual that treats physical intimacy and emotional connection as inseparable — not revolutionary now, but clarifying then and still practical today. De Angelis walks through communication breakdowns, the ways resentment kills desire, and how to actually talk about what you want in bed without it turning into a fight. Some of the language feels dated (this was written when "making love" wasn't yet cringey), but the core advice holds up: you can't fix bedroom problems without addressing what's happening outside it. Useful for long-term couples who've hit a rut, or anyone curious about what relationship advice looked like before Instagram therapists.
