Laura Brotherson was interviewed for an article recently published by Brigham Young University's The Daily Universe student newspaper:

Daily Universe, Brigham Young University 

Marriage and sex therapist Laura Brotherson says
some women struggle to believe that sexual intimacy is OK, even with their husbands after they are married.   
Some members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are advocating for a more open dialogue about marital intimacy and a shift away from the commonly used "thou shall not" teaching approaches in order to help young adults - especially women - transition from single to married life.   
"Women especially have a hard time going from no, no, no, to go, go, go," LDS marriage and sex therapist Laura Brotherson said. "There really are not enough positive, affirming statements and emphasis on intimacy in marriage."   
Brotherson decided to write about spiritually-based sexual intimacy because she saw a need for positive female voices on the topic. She has sold more than 60,000 copies of her book, And They Were Not Ashamed.
