1
I pulled myself into one,
2
a set of very specific questions at the time, right?
3
Why does good intimacy not guarantee good sex?
4
Why does good sex fade even in couples who love each other as much as ever?
5
Why does sex make babies and babies spell erotic disaster in couples?
6
Why is the forbidden so erotic?
7
And when you love, how does it feel?
8
And when you desire, how is it different?
9
Those were the questions.
10
We got church, we got desired church already.
11
Yes, those were the questions that fueled you.
12
Yes, and I think these questions still hold today.
13
Yeah, I think we need this more than ever today.
14
So that didn't really change.
15
And I looked at what is the tension that exists
16
when our pursuit for secure love clashes with our pursuit for freedom and excitement excitement.
17
And the question was, you know,
18
what is the nature of erotic desire in the long haul?
19
Anyone have an answer yet?
20
No. Okay.
21
That was the question.
22
I still don't fully have an answer,
23
but I spent 20 years after that really deepening those very questions.
24
What holds excitement?
25
How do we maintain aliveness in a relationship in the long haul?
26
Okay.
27
And so that's why you're reissuing the book.
28
Yes.
29
To give us that answer.
30
Yeah, well, to give us a way to think about it.
31
I don't know that there are always specific answers.
32
Because the specific answers would mean that there is a general overall answer for everybody.
33
Specific answer would be to say that Victoria's Secret can solve it all.
34
And there is no Victor's Secret.
35
Yes, yes, yeah.
36
You know, and that it's a matter of tips.
37
There are a lot of different ways to think about it that actually can change your life.
38
But it's not just about tips.
39
It's about invitations.
40
Right.
41
How do we begin to institute that in our lives?
42
How do we do that?
43
Desire is to own the wanting.
44
It's when you know that you want something and often you want it because you can't have it.
45
And you feel wanted because someone else is choosing you versus others.
46
Yeah.
47
And therefore, Which is its own eroticism to feel wanted, isn't it?
48
That's it.
49
That's it.
50
That's it.
51
You know, I feel unique, indispensable, irreplaceable.
52
I feel chosen.
53
I feel special.
54
I feel wanted.
55
Yeah.
56
And I feel loved.
57
And that's why so many relationships fall apart because you no longer feel desired or have the desire because you're not desired.
58
Correct.
59
That's what you just added is important,
60
is that it is a reciprocal cycle.
61
It is reciprocal.
62
So, of course, I respond to your desire.
63
You respond to mine.
64
If I don't feel yours,
65
I can continue to feel desire.
66
I can continue to want someone who doesn't want me. That exists.
67
But there is something different when I respond to the wanting of someone else.
68
Well, 20 years ago you wrote,
69
intimacy has become the sovereign antidote for lives of increasing isolation.
70
In our world of instant communication,
71
we supplement our relationships with an assortment of technological devices in the hope that all these gizmos will strengthen our connections.
72
This social frenzy masks a profound hunger for human contact.
73
Now, you wrote that in 2006.
74
We barely had Facebook.
75
I had the chills.
76
And you knew then that there was a deeper shift in relationships coming.
77
How has intimate contact changed in the 20 years since you wrote this?
78
You know what's interesting?
79
2006, I'm looking at how do we sustain desire.
80
2026, I am more and more busy working with people who don't know how to ignite it in the first place.
81
2006. Church!
82
It helps.
83
Keep doing it.
84
Everybody went together.
85
Well, audience, we got something to talk about here today.
86
Yeah.
87
Okay.
88
And then 2006, basically we were beginning to postpone the age of commitment and marriage.
89
Beginning to postpone.
90
Yes, by 10 years.
91
Yeah.
92
Instead of being 1920, we became 2930.
93
Yeah.
94
Now we postpone basically sex for 10 years.
95
It's not happening at 16.
96
It's our first experiences is sometimes at 26, related sex.
97
That means that there's an entire decade of experiences.
98
of looking at somebody, wondering if they're looking at you.
99
Do we have eye contact?
100
Is it me you're looking at or it's actually the person next to you?
101
Maybe I don't have my glasses either.
102
You know, sitting next to someone,
103
wondering if they're going to touch your leg,
104
if there's going to be something.
105
Am I as interested as you're interested?
106
Is your interest, you know,
107
what I think it is?
108
Or am I completely delusional?
109
All of that teenage, young 20s is really diminishing in full force. And why?
110
Because of the devices?
111
Because we live in a contactless world more and more,
112
because we live in a world where we don't need to
113
leave home to do some of the most important things that used to put us into the world and into society.
114
Because we have gotten used to having devices in our hands.
115
These gizmos, I can't believe I even used that term then.
116
You know, that basically you try to give us instant answers without any doubt and ambiguity about where to go,
117
what to do, what to eat,
118
what to listen to next.
119
And it is polished and it is wrinkle free and it is so soft and it is completely frictionless.
120
And now I'd want that same experience with you, human.
121
And I want you to be as predictable and as perfect
122
and as wrinkle-free and polished as this little thing that is playing in my hand all the time.
123
Yeah. And then...
124
I want no trouble from you.
125
I want...
126
No. I don't want no trouble.
127
Exactly.
128
I want no trouble.
129
I don't want you to have a bad mood.
130
I don't want you to have doubts.
131
I don't want you to have needs that compete with my own.
132
And I especially don't want you to disagree with me.
133
Wow.
134
So we can all feel this, right?
135
We can feel our disconnection is getting worse.
136
But you say there's a path forward.
137
What is it?
138
I mean, the path forward is that we long for connection.
139
That has not changed.
140
Well, that's why we have the little gizmo in our hand.
141
That's why we're trying to connect.
142
The gizmo is an interesting paradox because we have never been more connected and we have never been less accessible.
143
Ooh.
144
We have never been more connected and we have never been more disconnected.
145
Modern loneliness masks itself as hyper-connectivity.
146
Yeah.
147
Wow.
148
Church.
149
It's funny, it's like a...
150
Yeah, yeah.
151
You say couples are so damn tired that they have sex really at the bottom of the to-do list.
152
Yeah.
153
Here's the Amen Choir over here.
154
No, no, this woman's list is so long that the thing doesn't appear on the page anymore.
155
It's not even on the page.
156
Yes.
157
Yes.
158
And that, how do we begin to flip that?
159
I mean, the first thing is,
160
I would say touch before sex.
161
Touch.
162
Just touch.
163
We can live without sex,
164
but we can't really live without touch.
165
We become irritable, aggressive, depressed.
166
We are touch creatures.
167
We are held for such a long period before we can even crawl or walk.
168
We need that kind of physical connection.
169
And one of the things that is changing in this moment is that we are more and more in a disembodied reality.
170
We are on screens.
171
We don't look up.
172
We sit like this.
173
We don't notice the people around us.
174
We don't have the opportunity to smell,
175
to hear gesture, rhythm, sound of voice.
176
all these things that come with a body.
177
And that is changing the way we love and the way we desire.
178
Wow.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
