THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER FROM THE HOST OF HIT PODCAST 'WHERE SHOULD WE BEGIN'

"Esther Perel is magic...What she knows about relationships, love, sex and everything in between will...inspire you and help you unlock all the answers you've been looking for." - Steven Bartlett

----------------------------------------------------

A bold, provocative new take on intimacy and sex in modern romance

World-renowned psychotherapist and relationship expert Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples, exploring the complex interplay between love and desire in long-term relationships. Can we desire what we already have? What does it take to keep lust alive?

Drawing on over thirty years' experience counselling couples, Perel reconciles the erotic with the domestic, offering practical insights and advice for reigniting the spark that may have faded over time. Through case studies and lively discussion, Perel shows us how we can foster and unlock the key to more exciting, playful and even poetic sex in long-term relationships.

Smart, witty and explosively original, Mating in Captivity will transform the way you live and love.
