Eyes met, sparks flew--all fireworks and passion. In the beginning, it felt like magic...but somewhere along the way, the flame burnt out. That cute quirk you used to love doesn't seem so cute anymore. The connection and fire that brought you together are lost--and you may feel hurt, unsure, or disconnected. You might be trying in vain to change your partner. You may even resign yourself to a passionless fate.
Ancient sages recognized the lull in intimacy, passion, and connection that happens in even the most solid relationships--and hinted at the ways we can overcome it. With an entertaining blend of personal experiences, neuroscientific research, and amorous insights from around the world, Cupid's Poisoned Arrow shows that we can use lovemaking to balance one another--and let harmony arise naturally.
Here, you'll discover the twenty-one Exchanges, a series of intimacy-building activities that can help you and your partner connect on a deeper level. These exchanges speak directly to the part of your brain that can fall in love--and stay in love--and are based on touch, eye contact, and attentiveness.
By focusing on generous pampering rather than self-stimulation, you can create a nourishing cocoon of comfort and safety...and deepen your connection through bonding-based intimacy. Incorporating the principles of yin and yang, the Exchanges offer a balanced approach that emphasizes giving and receiving to spark a fulfilling sexual connection between you and your partner.
Discover why real readers are saying It works! and I wish I had read this book 10 years ago. You'll never look back.
