Prerequisites to Ecstasy

Our problems are the same.  Couples are stuck in the same bad patterns.  Individuals are stuck in the same bad habits that keep sabotaging their joy and expression.  The obstacles that people are facing in creating a rich erotic life are the same bunch of obstacles.  Just as the foundational information around what causes a bridge to stand or to collapse does not change from bridge to bridge, the foundational information about what makes partnerships thrive or fail does not vary wildly from partnership to partnership.  Human nature has structure.  Human eros has structure.  And the glitches and the weaknesses and the misperceptions that keep tripping us up are the same ones across the population.


This book is my attempt to articulate and organize these universal conversations regarding our emotional, relational and erotic lives.
