Modern romance promises it all - a lifetime of togetherness, intimacy and erotic desire. In reality, it's hard to want what you already have. Our quest for secure love conflicts with our pursuit of passion. And often, the very thing that got us to into our relationships - lust - is the one thing that goes missing from them. Period [Hardcover]: Emma loathes her period. Really, she does. But there's something she loathes even not being able to talk about it. Freely, funnily and honestly. Without men and women wrinkling their noses as if she's pulled her tampon out and offered it as an hors d'oeuvre. But somehow, despite women having had periods since the dawn of time, we've totally clammed up on anything to do with menstruation. Why, oh why, would we rather say 'Auntie Flo' than 'period'? Why, in the 21st century, are periods still seen as icky? Why are we still so ignorant about such a fundamental bodily process? The Vagina So many important questions, so much convincing, confusing, contradictory misinformation! In this age of click bait, pseudoscience, and celebrity-endorsed products, it's easy to be overwhelmed-whether it's websites, advice from well-meaning friends, uneducated partners, and even healthcare providers. So how do you separate facts from fiction? Obstetrician Jen Gunter, an expert on women's health-and the internet's most popular go-to doc-comes to the rescue with a book that debunks the myths and educates and empowers women.

Reviews

[Madeline Bradley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was facinating, another great book from Esther Perel. If you're curious to be a fly on the fall of other people's therapy sessions (in pairs), you'l enjoy this.

[Carolina Telio · Rating 5 out of 5]

So often, sex and the erotic occupy center stage in the media, creating the illusion that we now live in a society that speaks openly and honestly about desire. Yet behind closed doors, it remains one of the most taboo, conflicted, and quietly painful subjects in countless relationships.

Mating in Captivity cuts through that contradiction with rare honesty. Rather than offering quick fixes or techniques for “better sex,” Esther Perel invites the reader into a far deeper reflection on what it means to be human and to desire. She explores the delicate balance, and frequent tension, between eroticism and long-term commitment, monogamy, the shifting roles within marriage, parenthood, aging, and fantasy.

I went into this book expecting something more superficial, another manual promising novelty or reignited passion. Instead, I found a thoughtful, nuanced exploration of the pillars of intimacy, autonomy, and longing. Perel doesn’t reduce desire to a problem to be solved, she treats it as a complex, living force shaped by culture, identity, and time.

This book doesn’t offer easy answers, but it offers something far more valuable: insight, language, and permission to think more honestly about desire, intimacy, and the paradoxes we carry within love.
