Sex: A Place You Go, Not What You Do

Traditional sexuality was all about procreation. Modern sexuality is now often identified with performance: how many times, how many partners, and what types of sex. Sex has become something you do rather than something you experience.

Esther Perel proposes a new mindset. Sex as an experience. "Sex is a place you go." So where do you want to go?

  • Seek deep spiritual union?
  • Experience deep connection?
  • Transcend daily life?
  • Surrender and be vulnerable?
  • Be naughty or kinky?
  • Abdicate responsibility?

Sex is never just sex. Sexuality is a code for our deepest emotional needs: our wounds, fears & aspirations.
