Reader reviews for Mating in Captivity: Unlocking Erotic Intelligence
Review summary
Readers largely found the book thoughtful and discussion-worthy, praising Perel’s engaging voice and compelling case studies—especially in audio form. Critiques centered on its anecdotal bent and a lack of concrete, actionable guidance on bridging domesticity and desire. Many valued the fresh perspectives and validation, but judged it uneven and less prescriptive than its premise implies.
