ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Mating in Captivity" by Esther Perel explores the challenges of maintaining desire in long-term relationships. Perel, a couples therapist, examines why passion often dwindles as familiarity and domesticity increase.

 

The book delves into modern intimacy's pitfalls, questioning if constant communication truly fosters closeness. It tackles how societal expectations of equality can impact eroticism and whether the "can-do" attitude towards life also applies to desire. Through case studies and cultural analysis, Perel searches for ways to reconcile love and eroticism, challenging conventional wisdom about relationships and intimacy.
