Erotic Intelligence: The paradox of Intimacy and Sexuality

Esther Perel

Why does great sex so often fade for couples who claim to love each other as much as ever? Why doesn't good intimacy guarantee good sex? Can we want what we already have? Why does the transition to parenthood so often spell erotic disaster. Based on her international best-seller, 'Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence', Esther Perel probes the intricacies of love and desire-how they relate and how they conflict.

Recorded June 12 – 16, 2011 at the 20th WAS World Congress for Sexual Health
Forging the Future: Sexual Health for the 21th Century, Glasgow, United Kingdom
