Mating in Captivity -Audiobook Online Free

Mating in Captivity is a great book by author Esther Perel.

When you love someone, how does it feel? When you crave someone, how is it different? In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel examines the story of committed couples’ sexuality.

Modern romance promises it all – a lifetime of togetherness, intimacy, and sex drive. Our search for secure love is at odds with our pursuit of our passions. And often, what gets us into our relationships – lust – is what’s missing from them.

Determined to reconcile erotic and domestic, Perel explains why democracy is a passion killer in the bedroom; arguments for playfulness, distance and uncertainty; and shows what it takes to bring lust home.
Mating in Captivity is an essential bedtime listening track for monogamists.

Many reviewers seem to have read about her clients and thought it meant they had to solve their problems the same way. But this book is a collection, and some chapters are right for you, and others are not.

The core idea in the book is that there is a difference between porn and love. The negative reviews seem to miss this point. I find the idea that you need some separation to make your partner feel erotic is helpful. You need to see them as they are seen outside of the relationship. Like you saw them when you first met them.

Also of deep significance is the idea that the more you love and care for your partner, the more you are afraid to show sexual desire for fear that you will lose them or hurt them. Love means you are more afraid of losing. The solution is to be willing to take risks and talk openly about what you want.

I found this book really helpful as a talking point between my wife of 34 years and me. It brings new things to discover – not techniques, but ideas.
