What’s love got to do with it?In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples. When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone, how is it different? Modern romance promises it all. Find ‘the one’ and you can look forward to a life of commitment, domestic bliss and emotional intimacy, spiced up by nights of excitement and great passion. Of course it doesn’t always work out that way. And after 22 years practice as a family and relationships counsellor, Perel knows that often the one thing that got us into our relationships ndash; lust ndash; is ultimately the one thing that is absent from them. Determined to reconcile sexuality with domesticity, Perel invites us to question why sex falters in long-term relationships. And, by challenging notions of correctness, shows how to remedy it. Smart, sexy and explosively original, her thesis is as revelatory as it is straightforward andthe second best thing to enjoy in bed.
