After a dry spell of impressive sex-related TED talks, I
have come across two in three weeks! Whoop whoop! (Thanks to a friend for
sending me this one!) Meet Esther Perel, a marriage and family therapist and
author! She wants to help us understand how to have better, more desirous long-term
relationships. Ms. Perel says that this is a challenge, because we simultaneously
seek stability and novelty. Essentially, we want to feel at home and like we
are having an adventure. She states that we are currently grappling with this,
because marriage is no longer just about procreation or economic stability (at
least in more developed countries). It is about wanting and connection. In
order for these long-term partnerships to remain desirous, Ms. Perel encourages
us to flex our brains and use creativity in our erotic lives, in order to
become more erotically intelligent. SO COOL!
Check out her TED Talk:
What do you think of her ideas?
