Mating in Captivity
Unlocking Erotic Intelligence
Book • 2006
In this book, Esther Perel explores the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, arguing that our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor can be antithetical to erotic desire.
Drawing on more than twenty years of experience as a couples therapist, Perel uses case studies and lively discussions to demonstrate how more exciting, playful, and poetic sex is possible in long-term relationships.
She emphasizes the importance of maintaining independence, mystery, and the space between self and other to sustain desire.
