Dr. Snyder’s articles about eros in the modern world have gained over a million views online. He's been a regular contributor to HuffingtonPost and PsychologyToday, and a frequent guest on major media outlets.
Love Worth Making is Dr. Snyder’s first book—drawing from his over thirty years’ experience helping over 1,500 individuals and couples find greater fulfilment in sex and relationships.
Having being brought up in a household where religion and sexual stigma influenced my intimate relationships for a long time I just had to get Stephen on to discuss sex in detail and flesh out my experience which many would relate to no doubt.
Stephen is an absolute legend, who is deeply passionate about his work or shall I say chosen service. This shines through in his lively conversation and his thoughtful, honest responses.
