Mating in Captivity invites us to explore the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, and explains what it takes to bring lust home. Drawing on more than twenty years of experience as a couples therapist, Perel examines the complexities of sustaining desire. Through case studies and lively discussion, Perel demonstrates how more exciting, playful, and even poetic sex is possible in long-term relationships. Wise, witty, and as revelatory as it is straightforward, Mating in Captivity is a sensational book that will transform the way you live and love. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - sensible practical insightful I think that this book is better and more useful than reviews... always a good thing! I come from a different culture, in Australia. I am also a person who would rather get guidance from reading widely in fiction and non-fiction and from trying to understand the world, than from so-called 'self-help' books which are often far from 'self-help' but seek dependency. So I approach books like this with trepidation. No trepidation about the subject matter, indeed with awareness that the core ...

The author challenged all my beliefs about love and how relationships really work and I rather liked being challenged. She made me think in ways I had never before.

As a sex and relationship therapist, I highly recommend this read as a way for partners to better understand each other, and to revive the sparks they once felt. Rating: - Very nice, makes you think in the right direction Great book, I recommend it to anyone, even if you don't "need" to read it. Written in a very nice, Sex-and-the-City-like, style. Explains a lot of things in a way you probably haven't thought of them before. Makes you think about yourself, your desire, your relashionship and how you may be damaging it. Rating: - A lifechanging book for women and men Perel's message is that good intimacy doesn't necessarily lead to good sex. In fact, closeness can dull our sexual appetites if we abandon the need for excitement and adventure in the need for predictability, comfort, and safety. So the dilemma is (in her terms) how do we put the X back in sex? I love that she doesn't offer us easy how-tos. She tackles the complexities of sexual desire as an art rather than a series of steps you can count and measure. As she relates stories from the ...
