Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel

Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel

'If sex - or rather, the lack of sex - in marriages and long-term relationships isn't a hot topic, it's because "no one" dares talk about it. Or admit to it. Until now ...' - "Observer". Can we continue to desire what we already have? Does good intimacy always make for good sex? Are domesticity and passion compatible? In "Mating in Captivity", psychotherapist Esther Perel tackles the paradox of modern love. Our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness and absolute candour is at odds with erotic desire, which makes long-term love an increasingly contradictory and messy business. Perel looks at why it's hard to want what you already have, even in the most committed relationship. And teaches how you can reconcile domestic bliss with erotic excitement, and rekindle lost passion. Wise, witty, and as revelatory as it is straightforward, "Mating in Captivity" is a sensational book that could change the way you love and live.

'At precisely the same moment that you're being shocked by her, you're also acknowledging the validity of her ideasPerel's ideas are like the chorus of a really good pop song - instantly familiar because they resonate deeply. It's all rather terrifying in its intuitiveness and its pure rightness' -- Observer 'Reads like a cross between the works of Jacques Lacan and French Women Don't Get Fat' -- The New Yorker 'As revelatory as it is straightforward' -- Publishing Weekly 'Enormous fun' -- Sunday Times
