Married women unhappy with their sex lives might be interested in Michele Weiner-Davis’ seventh book, The Sex-Starved Wife: What to Do When He’s Lost Desire, which is due out next January. After years of working as a licensed marriage therapist and relationship counselor, Weiner-Davis feels divorce can actually create more problems than it solves.

As for the topic in her upcoming book, Weiner-Davis wrote “A marriage void of sexuality and intimacy is a marriage doomed to fail,” in a previous book The Sex-Starved Marriage: A Couple’s guide for Boosting Their Marriage Libido.

Of course, for all of the books on how to save a marriage and reigniting a lackluster—or perhaps non-existent—sex life, there are plenty others out there that articulate the desire to love outside of one’s marriage. There are books, in fact, that not only empathize and encourage the spouse who wants to stray, but actually offer blatant instructions on how to have a extramarital affair without getting caught.

Don’t want to be spotted in the local bookstore? Doing a search on infidelity on Amazon.com brings up titles ranging from Undressing Infidelity: Why More Wives are Unfaithful and Love Affairs: Marriage and Infidelity, to the even more audacious,
The 50-Mile Rule: Your Guide for Infidelity and Extramarital Etiquette and How to Have an Affair and Never Get Caught.

The 50-Mile Rule, for example, instructs spouses to “deny, deny, deny,” never get sloppy about offering playmates a home phone number and to be careful not to cheat within 50 miles of one’s home.
