| Summary |
"The Power of Sexual Surrender" by Marie Nyswander Robinson is a scientific publication written in the late 20th century. The book addresses the critical issue of sexual frigidity in women, defining it as the inability to enjoy sexual love to its fullest potential, a problem that affects a significant portion of married women. Robinson, drawing from her experience as a psychiatrist, aims to educate and empower women to understand their sexual health and the psychological factors surrounding frigidity while ultimately seeking to enhance their intimate relationships. The opening of the book begins with a preface where the author emphasizes the seriousness of sexual frigidity and its impact on not just the individual, but also on marriages and families. Robinson introduces the concept of sexual frigidity, explaining its many forms and psychological roots, while contrasting it with the evolving awareness of women's sexuality in a post-Victorian landscape. She asserts that knowledge and understanding are key to overcoming such challenges and advocates for the importance of education for both women and their partners, setting the foundation for the deeper discussions that will follow in the subsequent chapters.
