It was sex that made Bettina Arndt famous

As one of Australia's first sex therapists and editor of Forum magazine, Bettina spent her early career talking about sex on television and radio.

She went on to become a leading social commentator, writing features and columns for publications across the country and working on government advisory committees covering issues from family law to childcare and ageing. Read some of Bettina's articles.

Now she has returned to her first love and has just completed an exciting new book on sex. The Sex Diaries looks at how ordinary couples cope with the tensions of managing their sex supply. She has had ninety eight couples keeping diaries for her, writing about their daily negotiations over sex. Who feels like having sex? Who doesn't? And how do they cope if one wants it more than the other? The Sex Diaries is published by Melbourne University Press and will be available 1 March, 2009, in all good bookstores.
