If you’ve had an affair, been hurt by an affair or have ever considered straying from your mate, make sure Sexual Detours is on your list of relationship books worth reading. The author uses multiple real-life examples gleaned from her private practice as a therapist, which make this book easy to read even if relationship books aren’t your thing.

She teaches that those who have been through clandestine relationships should look within for answers rather than blame their infidelity on their partner.

This book isn’t for you to read if you’re looking for someone to condone your extramarital affair. It’s worth reading if you want to understand why you went outside your relationship, and how you can mend things instead of falling into a pattern of repetition in one relationship killer after another.
