Hey there! Welcome to Sex Ed Rescue with Cath Hak. I’m here to help parents find an easier way to talk to their kids about love, sex, relationships, and growing up. Today, I want to share a classic book that I think you’ll find super helpful.
It’s called Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence by Esther Perrell. Esther is a leader in the field of sex therapy and she’s written some really insightful stuff. This book is all about what happens to passion and desire in long-term relationships, especially after kids come along. You know, those early days when everything was hot and steamy? Well, sometimes that spark fades, and it can feel like the passion is gone.
I used to have so many women coming to me as a sex therapist, feeling like their relationship was over because that desire just wasn’t there anymore. But fear not! Esther’s book dives deep into these issues and offers some fantastic insights.
Now, I can’t show you the whole book here, but trust me, it’s worth checking out at your local library or even on Amazon. It covers a lot of ground, from navigating relationships to keeping the spice alive and exploring sexual pleasure. It’s not a how-to manual, but rather a book that will give you a fresh perspective on yourself and your relationship. It’s all about reigniting that spark and finding the desire again.
I know reviewing big books like this can be a bit tricky, but I promise you, it’s worth the read. If you’re curious, hop on over to Amazon to read some reviews and get a sneak peek inside. But honestly, I bet your local library has a copy too. It’s one of those books that seems to be everywhere.
So, give it a shot! Remember, you and your partner got together for a reason, and sometimes that reason gets a little lost along the way. Mating in Captivity can help you rediscover that spark and bring some excitement back into your relationship.
I hope this review was somewhat helpful. I know picture books are easier to review, but trust me, this one is worth it. Cheers!
