Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores Mating in Captivity by Esther Perel as a systems-level analysis of how modern relationship structures influence desire, attachment, and identity.By focusing on institutional design and incentive conflict rather than individual blame, the episode shows why erotic decline can persist even in relationships defined by love and commitment.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/YYanfD9sRjI🎉 Apple Podcasts:👉 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crisis-in-perception/id1876160176❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://www.patreon.com/posts/mating-in-erotic-150795466?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_linkAuthor SupportIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.
