I still can’t believe I told the internet I was reading this book.

Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence by Esther Perel

December 2, 2019 by ardaigle 3 Comments

So, um, it is a big deal for me that I put this on my digital book shelf. And a big deal that I read it.

Apparently, there was so much interest in the chapter on affairs in her first book, Mating in Captivity (2009), that she decided to write a second book entirely on that subject.
