Why Women Lose Desire Faster Than Men | Esther Perel

There's something really interesting about this country in relation to sexuality. There is an enormous taboo on sex education rather than the understanding that it is actually the repression that will unleash a kind of sexuality that is often about smut and titillation. A psychotherapist, best-selling author, one of the most prominent authorities on relationships, Esther Perell. I think there's a number of things in a relationship that become the cornerstones of the demise. Indifference and contempt and neglect and violence.

I'm not talking about big violence. Microaggressions are plenty. So how do we even get to this place? After having been so in love, it's so romantic, right? There's only two relationships that resemble each other.
