Sex is not negative or positive. Sex is not just neutral, nor is it merely sacred because it creates babies. None of these old sexual stories work for us anymore. We need a new sexual narrative. This book gives the new sexual narrative, what the authors call "sex erotic".

A Return to Eros: On Sex, Love, and Eroticism in Every Dimension of Life, from Drs. Marc Gafni and Kristina Kincaid, reveals the radical secret tenets of relationship between the sexual, the erotic, and the holy. They reveal what Eros actually means and share the ten core qualities of the erotic, which are modeled by the sexual. These include being on the inside, fullness of presence, yearning, allurement, fantasy, surrender, creativity, pleasure, and more.

A Return to Eros shows why these qualities of the erotic modeled by the sexual are actually the same core qualities of the sacred. To be an outrageous lover - not just in sex but also in all facets of your life - you must listen deeply to the simple yet elegant whisperings of the sexual. This book will forever transform your understanding and experience of love, sex, and Eros.

Having a Jewish background was helpful in deepening a level of appreciation and understanding of the material, however the reader’s pronunciation of many Hebrew words and names of historical figures were way off. To the point where I had no idea what she was taking about even though I was quite familiar with the term and concept. It was bothersome, but nowhere near a dealbreaker. Would still highly recommend this book. Likely, if you’re unfamiliar with Judaism, it’s stories and it’s prayers you won’t even notice.

Amazing content. Performance lacking

I'm struggling with this book. Perhaps I'm just not alive enough but the narration seems excessively performative.

Speaking from the heart: one of the best books I've listened to and YES worth the time investment.
Soul-satisfying, truth-ringing, with deep holistic intellectual coherence. A sincere THANK YOU for your devotion to our Highest Good and being a leader of the future today by activating our divine self remembrance in our breathing Eros embodied in every area of our life. With love & gratitude, Chiara

Excellent❤️One of the best books I've ever read

I just finished listening, and I think I might just start over from the beginning again. Because it’s a curtain has been opened open to reveal an entire universe beyond what I thought with everything. To re-eroticism sizing reality! To quantum Hedonism! For me I could make everybody with a book

Almost like a meditation and self for the soul as well as lighting a fire!

I have read the book and was happy when the Audible book became available. Unfortunately, the narrator needed guidance in the pronunciations of Hebrew words, her fluffs need editing and someone needs to tell the narrator when you read the source of the quote from a biblical text, like Song of Solomon 2:10, it should read The Song of Solomon chapter two verse ten: Not verse two chapter ten. This book is too important to be sunk this way.

Great book but narration needs editing

Beautiful and wise words gorgeously spoken. There is so much depth and new understanding expressed here that it is hard to grasp the importance of this work for me personally and the culture at large. It is worth staying in to the end!

Awesome!

The narration is so hard to listen to that I had to switch to the physical copy. I never leave bad reviews and I hate to do it, but I hope they have this redone. It would be worth it. It’s an important book.

Beautiful book but…

This book has changed my life- it spoke truths that rung bells of deep resonance in the halls of my being. Things I have only ever felt but knew not how to place into words. It’s given me a new curiosity into the teachings of Hebrew mysticism, the stories bringing tears to my eyes- sometimes in the ecstasy of love, and sometimes in the pain of a failed love story. Both of course, in the name of Eros and the gorgeous Shekhinah that dwells in us all. Hats off to Marc & KK. Thank you.

Utterly Transformational

This book provides an absolute download of what radical aliveness looks like. If you explore the realms of bdsm or anything of the sort I would especially recommend it, and suggest you and your dom/sub read it with you. Though it is long, I encourage you to commit to reading it continuously instead of sporadically to get the most out of it.
