Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow combines revealing personal experience, an easy-to-understand discussion about the science of making love, and information from sacred texts on sexuality. Focusing
on the ancient territory of “bonding-based” lovemaking, it offers a refreshing approach to sexuality and spirituality for men and women interested in redefining and strengthening their intimate
relationships.
Marnia Robinson discusses the dubious roots of our current focus on orgasm and highlights a more expanded model for understanding our sexuality. She describes the biological mechanisms behind
passion, the “lows” that often follow sexual satiation, and even why the human brain is vulnerable to compulsive sexual behaviors and other addictions. In doing so, she reveals how we can
outsmart Mother Nature with bonding-based lovemaking to restore balance and promote well-being and authentic monogamy. Emphasizing gentle intercourse with periods of relaxation, Robinson
presents specific mammalian bonding behaviors that help couples stay emotionally attached to each other and explains why they work. This book is for anyone questioning why his or her intimate
relationship has become fragile—or has failed—and willing to try an approach that’s so ancient, it’s new.
