Ready for controversy?
One idea I've been stretched by is the concept that men are by nature wild. Women tend to want to tame them, and then wonder why their men loose their vitality, ie passion. I find Esther Perel's ideas to be infusing vitality in my couples work. What is so interesting is that she is challenging feminism/egalitarianism and sexual liberation as part of the reason eroticism in many marriages is waning. She illustrates how domesticity spells the death of passion and responds to that dilemma by encouraging eroticism, not just sexuality. She advocates NOT necessarily more frequent sex but more connected alive sex. Her secular perspective is one that honors truth. That is refreshing coming from a humanist. She is clearly existentialist, too. Still it's good stuff!
