ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

         A well-qualified professional, Janalee Beck holds a Master's degree from Arizona State University. She has been an adjunct faculty member, a social worker, a licensed Legal Document Preparer, and has held an advanced designation as a financial planner (CRPC). Beck is a published author, has shared her insights through seminars, and supports other women through networking and writing books/eBooks. I write research-based content and am a personal growth champion and a life-long learner.

     In 1993, Avon Books (NY) published her book, How to Have Multiple Orgasms, about women's capacity for greater gratification. The book is so sensible that the title is almost a misnomer, says editor, Paul Lippman. It sold over 56,000 copies and was translated into Spanish and Chinese and it offers the secrets of sexual ecstasy and describes seven steps to success for women who wonder why their own pleasure falls short of the romantic fantasies they hear about. The author now provides a handbook for couples to grow their capacity for a deeper connection.

     In June 2023, Beck published her newest eBook on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP).  Moving Toward Intimacy: Essential Ingredients for Passion & Pleasure looks to return couples to the heart of what it means to be intimate, using mind-body-spirit synergy. This book champions ways to create successful relationships and robust sex lives, healing and spicing up any romance. Discover a controversial premise that sheds light on true love, which may cause you to stop, think, and scratch your head. 

         The More You Aim To Please Your Partner, The Less You Actually Do.

     Find out how her point of view strengthens communication, heightens pleasure, and keeps the spark alive. Aiming to please your partner above all else leads to stress and performance anxiety, which distracts from the magic of the present moment. The act of striving negates what you are striving for. Intimacy happens when you're not perpetually reaching for it. A better goal is cultivating love through kindness, humor, acceptance, and vulnerability.

     The author is excited to announce that she's currently working on its companion Journal called,  Moving Toward Intimacy: A Guided Journal for Women offers cues, lists, suggestions, a self-audit checklist, and quotes to help in sorting out your thoughts and feelings about your own relationship. See upcoming Menu by July 2023.

   Sextastic! Improve Your Love Life in Seven Weeks, also accessible on Amazon.com. is a guide for couples who want to rekindle their romance later in life. Beck shares her expert tips and intimate secrets to help readers spread their romantic wings and improve their love lives.

   Beck has two millennial adult children who are treasured pieces of her heart walking around in the world. Beck is  involved in a committed relationship. She makes her home in Scottsdale, Arizona, and enjoys traveling, swimming,, fascial stretch therapy, earthing, playing poker, reading, piano, meditation, games, and visiting family.  

Q:  What made you become an author in the first place?

A:  I have a Master's in English.  I've always kept a journal or diary for as long as I can remember. Pretty soon, my closet started filling up with notes, diaries, journals, etc. I finally put pen to paper in 1993 with my first published book, How To Have Multiple Orgasms after a long-time lover encouaged me to help others. You have to share your secrets with other women. Men will appreciate it more than you think. He believed that I could help other women achieve a higher degree of pleasure and passion. 

Q: What do you enjoy writing about? What are your most popular subjects?

A: It's amazing how quickly time flies when I'm writing. I'll glance at the clock and am surprised that four to five hours have already passed. Writing is definitely one of my favorite activities! I  enjoy blogging about three types of love: Self-Love, Romantic Love, and Familial Love. Self-Love is all about aligning your actions and behaviors with your core values.

Q:  What qualifies you to write about Love and romance?

A:  I have spent over 20 years as a teacher, trainer, adjunct faculty member, and seminar presenter, covering a wide range of topics. Additionally, I have conducted extensive research in my own private laboratory. My insights are derived from both a personal perspective and data collected from hundreds of individuals I have surveyed on the subject of intimate relationships during my workshops over the years.

Q:  How do couples self-sabotage their pleasure?

A:  By being anxious. Not living in the present moment. Thinking of other things.  Not understanding their natural pleasure triggers. By thinking they have nothing else to learn. Their biggest obstacles/fears are: looking silly, feeling guilty from religious restrictions, incompetence, getting pregnant or STDs, not pleasing their partner, and sounding ridiculous. Some are just plain nervous and or haven't had sex for a while. 

Q: What challenges do men and women have and how do they overcome them?

A:  It's hard for couples to admit they're having problems in the sack. Some women are insecure about a certain act, say oral sex, so they don't engage in it as much. Some men don't feel competent. That alone makes their partner upset, especially when their partner doesn't reciprocate. Same-sex couples also need support and help in overcoming challenges. Anyone in the LGBTQ+ community has similar questions as heterosexual couples. Let's celebrate all loving parternships!
