If you want to be desired, it takes risk.

The Power of Erotic Intelligence

Letโ€™s talk about sex.

So often, we blame our lack of romance on our partner.

Weโ€™ll say, โ€œHe or she just isnโ€™t doing it for me anymore.โ€

But what if itโ€™s your responsibility to make sure that youโ€™re keeping the passion alive?

If you are truly living your fullest life, you will create desire.

Take ownership.

Thatโ€™s why, for this weekโ€™s 5-Minute Friday, I want to share this conversation I had with world-renowned relationship expert Esther Perel who knows the key to making monogamous relationships successful.

Belgian psychotherapist Esther Perel is the New York Times bestselling author of The State of Affairs and Mating in Captivity. Her celebrated TED talks have garnered more than 20 million views and she is also the host of the popular podcast Where Should We Begin?

Esther says that itโ€™s not the other person who turns you on or off. You turn yourself on by making sure you are connected to what lights you up.

Learn how investing in yourself and pursuing your life force will help you want monogamy on Episode 723.
