When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone,
how is it different?
In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in
committed couples. Modern romance promises it all – a lifetime of
togetherness, intimacy and erotic desire. In reality, it’s hard to want
what you already have. Our quest for secure love conflicts with our
pursuit of passion. And often, the very thing that got us to into our
relationships – lust – is the one thing that goes missing from them.
Determined to reconcile the erotic and the domestic, Perel explains why
democracy is a passion killer in the bedroom. Argues for playfulness,
distance, and uncertainty. And shows what it takes to bring lust home.
Smart, sexy and explosively original, Mating in Captivity is the
monogamist’s essential bedside read.

***NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER*** Is there such a thing as an
affair-proof marriage? Is it possible to love more than one person
at once? Why do people cheat? Can an affair ever help a marriage?
Infidelity is the ultimate betrayal. But does it have to be?
Relationship therapist Esther Perel examines why people cheat, and
unpacks why affairs are so traumatic; because they threaten our
emotional security. In infidelity, she sees something unexpected -
an expression of longing and loss. A must-read for anyone who has
ever cheated or been cheated on, or who simply wants a new
framework for understanding relationships. 'Esther Perel does
nothing short of strip us of our deepest biases, remind us of our
purpose in connecting as lovers, and save relationships that might
otherwise sink into the sea-all with even-handed wisdom, fresh
morality, and wise prose. Thank heavens for this woman.' - Lena
Dunham 'Beautiful. A brilliantly intelligent plea for complexity,
understanding, and - as always - kindness.' - Alain de Botton
'She's the guru on relationships... she's the first person I ask
for advice' - Cara Delevingne 'Wisest sex therapist we ever did

perspective on infidelity' - GRAZIA 'This is a must-have for all
married couples and has completely changed my thinking.' - SUNDAY
