Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 I began writing a book about sex, and I was constantly asked about couples and eroticism. The comments I heard at a party were hardly novel. Can’t be done. Well, that’s the whole problem of monogamy, isn’t it. That’s why I don’t commit. It has nothing to do with fear. I just hate boring sex.
#2 The two camps are the romantics, who believe that passion is more important than safety and security, and the realists, who believe that safety and security are more important than passion. But both are often disappointed, for few people can live happily at either extreme.
#3 The need for security and novelty is a human instinct, and it is also true for every living thing. organisms require alternating periods of growth and equilibrium. Any person or system exposed to ceaseless novelty and change risks falling into chaos, but one that is too rigid or static ceases to grow and eventually dies.
#4 I want to get back the excitement I used to have in my relationship with my husband. I want to be appreciated as a woman, not just as a mother, wife, or companion.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

I began writing a book about sex, and I was constantly asked about couples and eroticism. The comments I heard at a party were hardly novel. Can’t be done. Well, that’s the whole problem of monogamy, isn’t it. That’s why I don’t commit. It has nothing to do with fear. I just hate boring sex.

#2

The two camps are the romantics, who believe that passion is more important than safety and security, and the realists, who believe that safety and security are more important than passion. But both are often disappointed, for few people can live happily at either extreme.

#3

The need for security and novelty is a human instinct, and it is also true for every living thing. organisms require alternating periods of growth and equilibrium. Any person or system exposed to ceaseless novelty and change risks falling into chaos, but one that is too rigid or static ceases to grow and eventually dies.

#4

I want to get back the excitement I used to have in my relationship with my husband. I want to be appreciated as a woman, not just as a mother, wife, or companion.

#5

The tension between the comfort of committed love and the excitement of new romance is captured by Adele in her breathless riff. She wants both the coziness and the edge, and she wants them both with Alan.

#6

The sexual revolution of the 1960s, women’s liberation, the availability of birth control pills, and the emergence of the gay movement have contributed to a period of unmatched freedom and individualism. But this has created a new kind of gnawing insecurity.

#7

Love is inherently vulnerable. We tend to assuage our anxieties through control, but we don’t want to throw away the security of our relationship because it depends on it. We need a sense of physical and emotional safety in our relationships, but we don’t want to sacrifice the excitement of passion.

#8

When we love, we risk the possibility of loss. We must be able to bring a sense of unknown into a familiar space. When our partner stands alone, with his own will and freedom, the delicateness of our bond is magnified.

#9

When we zoom in on our relationships, we see that they are typically full of trivial bickering, comfortable sex, and mundane activities that keep us tethered to reality. But when we look at them out of the context of our marriages, they become more interesting.

#10

All relationships have uncertainty and mystery, and these are often what make them so exciting. But when we peg ourselves and our partners to fixed entities, we lose sight of how amazing it is that they exist at all.

#11

Charles and Rose have had their nonmonogamous interludes over the years. But Charles has grown increasingly tired of the low intensity of his sex life with Rose, and he wants to charge at life and reconnect with his exuberance.

#12

The more Charles avoids Rose, the more she wants him. And the more he suppresses his seductiveness, the more she suppresses hers. They had been trying to avoid each other’s demands, but they ended up meeting them head on.

#13

Love, by its very nature, is unstable. We shore it up in an effort to make us feel more secure, but the mechanisms we put in place to make love safer often put us more at risk. When we resist the urge to control, we preserve the possibility of discovery.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The beginning of any relationship is filled with projections, anticipations, and stirrings.
