Sexual excitement doesn't always play by the rules of good citizenship. In this explosively original book, Perel explains that our cultural penchant for equality, togetherness, and absolute candor is antithetical to erotic desire for both men and women. They describe relationships that are open and loving, yet sexually dull. In her 20 years of clinical experience, Perel has treated hundreds of couples whose home lives are empty of passion.
