Up to 20% of marriages in the United States are "sexless." One in four married Americans feels lonely in their own beds. In Japan, the reality is even starker-over 48% of couples live in sexless marriages. (Sources: Psychology Today, ZipDo, Japan Family Planning Association, BBC.) But When Touch Disappears isn't just numbers. It's a story about you and other women learning anew to listen to their bodies and their hearts. About nights when silence hurts more than a scream. About being together and yet feeling more alone than ever before. Maybe you have a home, a partner, children. And no one knows that for months you've been falling asleep without so much as an accidental touch. Everyone thinks you're happy. And you simply fade-day after day. Have you ever wondered what intimacy means to you? That question echoes through this book and refuses to let you stay silent any longer. This isn't an ordinary novel. It's a mirror in which you can see yourself. An inner conversation you've been missing for so long. Read it and join those who have stopped being silent-because if you've ever thought: "Is this all that awaits me?" then this book will help you name what you haven't been able to put into words for years.
