"Patti's passion for sex, love, and intimacy will inspire you with her hopeful messages and insightful lessons learned." - John Gray, best-selling author of Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

From the ashes of adversity, a fierce and compassionate warrior was born.

Imagine surviving multiple sexual violations, the loss of a child, and single motherhood on welfare, then rising to become known worldwide as the "Grande Dame of Sexology" and the "Mother of Sex Coaching."

In Chasing Sex: Wanting Love, Finding Myself, Dr. Patti Britton pulls back the curtain on a life lived at the frontlines of the women's rights and sexual liberation movements. From a chaotic childhood in postwar America, to the streets of 1960s New York City, to global recognition as a pioneering sexologist, Patti's story is one of courage, reinvention, and radical self-acceptance.

This memoir is a roadmap for anyone who has faced grief, trauma, or struggle, and longs to reclaim their strength, their voice, and their joy.

Inside, you'll discover:

How to trust your intuition and protect your boundaries Hard-won lessons that transform pain into purpose An unflinching look at love, lust, and becoming your own person Spiritual insights threaded through a life lived fully and unapologetically

"A tour de force memoir... poignant, playful, and sexy." - Alexandra Katehakis, PhD, author of Mirror of Intimacy
