Mating in Captivity is a hot, hot book! I had to fan myself a couple of times while reading it. Not because there were any explicit sex scenes but because her ideas were so fresh and daring. It gave me chills, I tell you!
I stumbled onto Esther Perel during a YouTube TED Talk
binge. After listening to her lecture for California Southern University, I had to know
more. Thank God for libraries!
It is almost a given that sexual desire will decrease the
longer a couple is together, even in warm and loving relationships. Research attributes this the effect of repeated exposure. What if
it weren’t that simple? What if there
were another dynamic at play? What if
love and passion were, for some couples, inversely proportional?
