Dr Stephen Snyder is a sex and relationship therapist in Manhattan and a frequent guest on major media including NBCToday, The Times of London, Bride’s Magazine, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, Elle, Vogue, and Goop. In 2018 Dr Snyder was awarded the Nautilus Gold Book Award for Relationships and Communication for his first book, Love Worth Making - How to Have Ridiculously Great Sex in a Long-Lasting Relationship. Women’s health guru Christiane Northrup called it, “Hands down, the most practical, fun, and empowering book I’ve ever read on how to have a fabulous sex life in a committed relationship.” Dr Jennifer Ashton from ABC’s Good Morning America wrote, “Love Worth Making does for sex therapy what Hamilton did for the Broadway musical. This playful yet profound book reminds us that sex should be easy – and can be, once we learn to get out of our own way.”
