Curiosity is a Key Erotic Element
“Curiosity is a key erotic element, as it keeps us interested in ourselves and in our partner.”
-from the article 4 Ways To Reignite Passion In Your Relationship by Esther Perel (click here!)
Do you take responsibility for your own pleasure?
"You are responsible for your own pleasure and your own orgasm (if desired). You may enlist the help of your partner, of course, but no one else owns your pleasure. That means, likewise, that you are not responsible for your partner’s. You can be a willing participant, but it is not your burden to know what they want or to do it perfectly on your own."
-Jessa Zimmerman from Sex Without Stress
Two Pillars of Love (according to Esther Perel)
"Love rests on two pillars: surrender and autonomy. Our need for togetherness exists alongside our need for separateness."
— Esther Perel
