It’s arrived, (ordered from America because it’s sold out here in the UK!) it’s been paired with an exclusive bookmark and all before New Year. So excited to send this copy of @helenzuman memoir ‘Mating in Captivity’ to the winner of the November #monthlymemoir giveaway. Decembers is almost at an end with @lisakohnwrites memoir ‘To the Moon and Back’ with a winner being drawn on the 1st of January. January’s memoir is EXTRA special to me and the community and I can’t wait to bring it to you. I have an entire year of memoirs lined up and thats not all. Watch this space. And have your Prosecco (or drink of choice ☕️) ready for midnight tomorrow as we toast going into 2022. #zendikarrising #zendik #zendikfarm #matingincaptivity #memoir #memoirwriting #memoirwriters #bookgiveaway #bookstagram #newyearseve https://www.instagram.com/p/CYHul2ogeiO/?utm_medium=tumblr

❥ A note on erotic intelligence: "Eroticism in the home requires active engagement and willful intent. It is an ongoing resistance to the message that [partnership] is serious, more work than play; and that passion is for teenagers and the immature. We must unpack our ambivalence about pleasure, and challenge our pervasive discomfort with sexuality, particularly in the context of family. Complaining of sexual boredom is easy and conventional. Nurturing eroticism in the home is an act of open defiance." —Esther Perel, Mating in Captivity @estherperelofficial . . . #eroticintelligence #estherperel #matingincaptivity #bookquotes #eroticism #partnership #consciousconnection #consciousrelationships #relationshiptransformation #relationshipadvice #marriagegoals #marriageadvice #relationshipgoals #relationshipcoach #honorthypartner #honorthyeroticism #honorthy https://www.instagram.com/p/B-mXgk-HRz6/?igshid=13oddsvxo84um

Beginnings are always ripe with possibilities, for they hold the promise of completion. Through love we imagine a new way of being. You see me as I’ve never seen myself. You airbrush my imperfections, and I like what you see. With you, and through you, I will become that which I long to be. I will become whole. Being chosen by the one you chose is one of the glories of falling in love. It generates a feeling of intense personal importance. I matter. You confirm my significance. - Esther Perel #estherperel #itdoesNOTlooklikethistoday #raincouver #matingincaptivity #brilliantsunsets #richmondmoments (at Richmond, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uvZusnspz/?igshid=1881rcrzzc93f

#Repost @estherperelofficial ・・・ Love enjoys knowing everything about you; desire needs mystery. Love likes to shrink the distance that exists between me and you, while desire is energized by it. If intimacy grows through repetition and familiarity, eroticism is numbed by repetition. It thrives on the mysterious, the novel, and the unexpected. Love is about having; desire is about wanting. An expression of longing, desire requires ongoing elusiveness. It is less concerned with where it has already been than passionate about where it can still go. But too often, as couples settle into the comforts of love, they cease to fan the flame of desire. They forget that fire needs air. - Ester Perrel #MatingInCaptivity (at Gold Coast, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBlApVHRmuKudHvbqfbRcrbICUEaHfpB9rAmY0/?igshid=jsrk45ii5bkn

Today, we turn to one person to provide what an entire village once did: a sense of grounding, meaning, and continuity. At the same time, we expect our committed relationships to be romantic as well as emotionally and sexually fulfilling. Is it any wonder that so many relationships crumble under the weight of it all? #matingincaptivity #estherperel https://www.instagram.com/p/BsIoqHOArhP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1u44nv9b9dl4x
