As a psychotherapist and thought leader, Perel is widely considered one of the world’s most original and respected voices on erotic intelligence. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, \u003cem\u003eMating in Captivity\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the complexities of sustaining desire in long—term relationships and shows how more playful, adventurous, and even poetic sex is possible. Wise, witty, and as revelatory as it is practical, Perel’s bold and provocative take on intimacy is ever more relevant today. In a new foreword, she reveals the personal origin story behind the book and reflects upon the many cultural shifts since its publication. This twentieth—anniversary edition invites us to reconsider the paradoxical union of domesticity and desire—and offers a guide to bringing lust home.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43143470284861,"sku":"9780063472341","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9780063472341_p0.jpg?v=1777731955","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9780063472341","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
