Always Desired. How to Maintain Passion in Long-Term Relationships.

Honest and effective recommendations from the leading expert on erotic intelligence and an experienced psychotherapist on how to maintain the passion of the early days of love in long-term relationships.

Entering into long-term romantic relationships, we crave calmness, stability, and safety.... But in gaining all this, we often lose interest in our constant partner, as at the same time novelty, mystery, uncertainty, and spontaneity — the indispensable companions of sexual desire — leave our lives.

Seemingly, this puts us in a position to make a choice: comfort and confidence in tomorrow or thrilling, vibrant, and romantic sex. But Esther Perel asserts that it is quite possible to overcome this contradiction. From the book, you will learn how to build harmonious relationships that combine sexual attraction to a partner and emotional intimacy, long-lasting love and overwhelming passion.

The book also contains intriguing research findings and interesting examples from the author's psychotherapeutic practice.
