Summary:
A bold, provocative new take on intimacy and sex, inviting us to explore the paradoxical union of domesticity and sexual desire, 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, a sensational book that will transform the way you live and love.
