Mating in captivity - Esther Perel
If you don’t know who Esther Perel is yet, welcome to the 21st century! Esther Perel is the ultimate guru relating to everything sex, intimacy and relationships of all forms and settings. Not only is she my personal idol (bit of fangirling never hurts), she’s also a renowned psychotherapist and author, and is celebrated worldwide for her insightful explorations into the complexities of human relationships. In my humble opinion, “Mating in Captivity” is a must read for EV-ER-Y-ONE! No exceptions, sorry!
In "Mating In Captivity," Esther Perel delves into the intricate interplay between love and desire within long-term relationships. With a blend of wisdom and wit, she challenges conventional wisdom about intimacy, arguing that the quest for security often undermines eroticism. In this book, Esther Perel skillfully dissects the paradoxes of long-term relationships, where familiarity can breed both comfort and complacency and locks passion away.
Drawing from her extensive clinical experience, Perel challenges the notion that closeness is the ultimate aphrodisiac. Instead, she argues that maintaining eroticism requires a delicate balance of intimacy and autonomy. Her insights are as enlightening as they are liberating, encouraging you to embrace the tension between love and desire rather than viewing them as incompatible bedfellows.
Through a series of case studies and anecdotes, Esther Perel offers a hands-on and useful look at the ways in which couples can reignite the spark in their relationships, making complex psychological theories accessible and relatable.
"Mating In Captivity" is not just a book—it’s a roadmap for anyone seeking to navigate the intricate landscape of modern relationships. Having trouble keeping the spice in your relationship? Having difficulties envisioning your partner as the highly desired personification of lust as they once were? Craving to explore new fantasies but to disclose them to your loving partner seems impossible? Or just wanting to communicate right from the start in your new passion-filled relationship? This book is your savior with Esther Perel as your guide.
