Esther Perel will change how you think about intimacy
Psychotherapist Esther Perel is one of the most influential thinkers on sex and relationships in the world.She helps us make sense of how we relate to the people around us and what it means to be intimate. Is intimacy just in the bedroom? Or can we have intimacy with our closest friends? How about with the guy at the coffee shop?And when we do disrobe and have sex with someone, how can we get what we desire out of the experience, whether it's a one-time thing or for the hundredth time.Esther entered the zeitgeist with her book Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence, which gave us language for the opposing promises of marriage — romantic passion and long-term security.She's since drawn millions of listeners to her podcast, Where Should We Begin, where she publishes live couples therapy sessions.
