Why doesn’t good intimacy guarantee good sex? Why does great sex so often fade for couples who claim to love each other as much as ever? Can we want what we already have? Why does the transition to parenthood so often spell erotic disaster?

Join Esther Perel, as she shares her bold, provocative new take on intimacy and sex that shakes up traditional thinking about keeping desire alive in a long-term relationships. She will show how love and desire relate, but also conflict. She will discuss how the need for security and closeness can co-exist with our quest for separateness and freedom. In this session, Esther will tackle eroticism as a quality of aliveness and vitality in relationships extending far beyond a repertoire of sexual techniques, frequency and performance.
