When you love someone, how does it feel? And when you desire someone, how is it different? In Mating in Captivity, Esther Perel looks at the story of sex in committed couples. 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.

Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author Esther Perel returns with a provocative look at relationships through the lens of infidelity, providing the insight we so desperately need to help us move beyond a simplistic discussion. An affair: it can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, have the prohibitions against it - in fact adultery has a tenacity that marriage can only envy.

Longe das justificativas habituais, como estresse e problemas de comunicação, a terapeuta aponta para a necessidade de fusão e estabilidade dos casais modernos, uma necessidade, segundo ela, que se opõe profundamente ao desejo erótico. Ignorando o politicamente correto, a autora propõe cultivar a distância entre o casal, mas também explorar uma sexualidade mais livre para (re)acender a centelha do desejo. E convoca o jogo e a imaginação para reintroduzir o risco na segurança, o mistério no familiar, e apimentar novamente a relação.

Esther Perel, la icónica terapeuta de parejas y autora bestseller de "Inteligencia erótica" (Diana, 2007), regresa con una provocadora reflexión sobre el mundo de las relaciones amorosas. ¿Por qué la gente engaña, incluso si tiene un matrimonio feliz? ¿Es posible amar a más de una persona a la vez? ¿Puede la infidelidad ayudar a una pareja? La traición duele, pero sanar es posible.

¿Por qué el sexo y el erotismo finalmente se extinguen, incluso en las mejores historias de amor? ¿Cómo podemos combinar la llama apasionada del deseo y el confort tranquilizador del hogar? Convencida, tras haber seguido a cientos de parejas (heterosexuales, homosexuales, con o sin hijos y de todas las edades), de que no hay fatalidad en el declive del deseo amoroso, Esther Perel nos ofrece aquí un revolucionario análisis de este fenómeno.

"Maintenant que la génération des baby boomers et celles qui l'ont suivie peuvent avoir autant de relations sexuelles qu'elles le veulent, elles semblent en avoir perdu l'envie..." Convaincue, après avoir suivi des centaines de couples (hétérosexuels, homosexuels, avec ou sans enfants et de tous âges), qu'il n'y a pas de fatalité au déclin du désir amoureux, Esther Perel nous livre ici une analyse révolutionnaire de ce phénomène.

Un traité audacieux sur l'infidélité pour comprendre la complexité de chaque individu face au couple, à l'amour et au désir. Non, l'adultère n'est pas toujours le signe d'un couple qui ne fonctionne plus... Qu'est-ce qu'être infidèle, aujourd'hui ? Comment peut-on tromper tout en se disant heureux dans son couple ? Est-il possible d'aimer plusieurs personnes à la fois ? Tromper, est-ce forcément trahir l'autre ? Est-ce qu'une liaison peut paradoxalement aider un couple ? L'infidélité reflète parfois le besoin vital de retrouver une partie de soi qui a été perdue.

Können wir begehren, was wir schon haben? Insgeheim kennen viele Paare das Problem: Die Liebe nimmt zu, doch das Begehren schwindet; man teilt den Alltag, doch die heißen Nächte werden weniger. Wieso ist es eigentlich so schwer, Liebe und Leidenschaft unter einen Hut zu bringen? Die bekannte Beziehungsexpertin und Therapeutin Esther Perel hat mit zahlreichen Paaren gearbeitet und ihre Frustrationen, geheimen Wünsche und Sehnsüchte erforscht.

Warum Untreue passiert, warum sie so wehtut und wie wir sie überleben - der Beziehungsbestseller. Ein Mensch geht fremd. Nichts löst im Beziehungsleben eines Paares mehr Angst, mehr Heimlichtuerei und zugleich mehr Faszination aus als eine Affäre. Untreue gilt als der ultimative Verrat am Partner, und sie kann alles zerstören: unsere Beziehung, unseren Selbstwert, unser Leben. Warum betrügen Menschen, sogar in glücklichen Beziehungen? Sind bestimmte Affären schwerer zu verkraften als andere?
