## Description

“If you want to be a better lover and have an amazing relationship (now or in the future), Cupid's Poisoned Arrow is a must-read.” —real reader review Eyes met, sparks flew—all fireworks and passion. In the beginning, it felt like magic…but somewhere along the way, the flame burnt out. That cute quirk you used to love doesn’t seem so cute anymore. The connection and fire that brought you together are lost—and you may feel hurt, unsure, or disconnected. You might be trying in vain to change your partner. You may even resign yourself to a passionless fate. Ancient sages recognized the lull in intimacy, passion, and connection that happens in even the most solid relationships— and hinted at the ways we can overcome it. With an entertaining blend of personal experiences, neuroscientific research, and amorous insights from around the world, Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow shows that we can use lovemaking to balance one another—and let harmony arise naturally. Here, you’ll discover the twenty-one Exchanges, a series of intimacy-building activities that can help you and your partner connect on a deeper level. These exchanges speak directly to the part of your brain that can fall in love—and stay in love—and are based on touch, eye contact, and attentiveness. By focusing on generous pampering rather than self-stimulation, you can create a nourishing cocoon of comfort and safety…and deepen your connection through bonding-based intimacy. Incorporating the principles of yin and yang, the Exchanges offer a balanced approach that emphasizes giving and receiving to spark a fulfilling sexual connection between you and your partner. Discover why real readers are saying “It works!” and “I wish I had read this book 10 years ago.” You’ll never look back.

Review: Revolutionary - Absolutely brilliant! I love this book. This book is revolutionary; it gave me a paradigm shift. Cupid's Poisoned Arrow will transform your views regarding sex, relationships, orgasm, masturbation, and how to be the best lover you can be. Then it gives you the practical steps to apply this new information. The main topic in this book is about the sexual practice of karezza, and the benefits to a relationship and to oneself of practicing karezza and cultivating one’s sexual energy. If you want to be a better lover and have an amazing relationship (now or in the future), Cupid's Poisoned Arrow is a must-read. If you want lasting attraction and affection with a partner after the "honeymoon stage" of a relationship, Cupid's Poisoned Arrow is a must-read. She brilliantly explains why passion falls, and gives the solution. In a time where porn addictions, divorces, and unhappy, sexless, or erratic relationships seem to be the norm, and where people feel more disconnected from each other than ever before in our society, I believe Marnia has figured out where we have gone wrong, and has discovered the antidote. The message in this book is so unknown to the public... yet so needed. This book is a hidden gem. It’s honestly sad how underground these ideas are because so many people would benefit from learning. I have a feeling the concepts in this book will go viral in society in about 10 years as more people discover this. I read this book when single. I highly recommend this book for both people in relationships and single people. Women or men. Young or old. Whoever you are, READ THIS BOOK! :) There is a little spirituality in this book, which I really enjoyed. Atheists, don't let that deter you. There is lots of science in Cupid and it's a practical read. I recommend this book to everyone. You may have to read a few parts of this book with an open mind and nonjudgemental attitude as these concepts are currently outside of mainstream consciousness. About 2/3 of the way through, the book does start to feel a bit repetitive. I feel the author really wanted to hammer the message in, especially because these ideas are so underground. But the message of the book is so brilliant, important, unique, and life-changing this is a very easy 5/5. The end is great too because it gives a practical guide. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and feel it transformed my life forever in a positive, healthy, and more loving way. This book connected so many dots for me about sexuality and relationships. I've actually read it 2.5x now. I believe that if more people read this book the world will become a much better and more harmonious place. I hope you give it a read!
Review: Great Book - This book changed the way I think about sex, intimacy, and what actually keeps a relationship feeling close. The author explains the science behind bonding and pleasure, but also goes deeper than the usual relationship advice. Some of the sections do repeat the core message, but it helped the ideas sink in. The real value is putting the theory into practice, even trying a few of the suggestions made a noticeable difference in how connected. Overall, if you’re curious about why the “honeymoon phase” fades or you want a more steady, loving connection (not just more techniques), this is a powerful read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just what the doctor ordered
*by R***S on October 28, 2013*

Although it can be somewhat repetitive in parts making it longer than it really needs to be, the material in this book is unlike anything I've found anywhere else. The author has done a wonderful job of synthesizing concepts from various cultures and disciplines such as modern neuroscience and ancient wisdom to bring the reader fresh insights into very common problems married couples face. What's really fascinating though is what happens when you actually do what the book suggests; i.e. take the recommended actions in your life. My wife and I have been practicing the ideas in this book for a few months now. The changes in us, and in our relationship are nothing short of miraculous. It's funny, but this was here for us the whole time, we just didn't know about it. What we learn about sex from the TV, movies, our friends, and the internet; it's all wrong! Don't be put off by negative reviews of people who have just read the book but didn't try it (or maybe didn't even read it). To correctly implement these ideas is very simple, but not easy! The result is a huge paradigm shift, which in itself suggests that the ideas themselves cannot be fully appreciated in a solely cognitive context; they must be acted upon and experienced before passing judgment. Sex without orgasms sounds crazy; that's what I thought when I first heard about it. But I can honestly say that my wife and I both enjoy sex with each other 10 times more now, and at the same time, it's much more connected and loving. What if even half of what I'm saying is true? Would it be worth it to buy the book, read it and try out the ideas for a few weeks? How about when compared to the cost of infidelity? Divorce? Sexless marriages, Etc... UPDATE If I could rate this book 10 stars, I would. 8 years later, my wife and I have mastered this technique. It took a while to gain that much control, but at this point, we are addicted to each other, better than when we were first dating. This should be required reading in school. If everyone knew this, divorce would be non-existent and no one would bother making war because they'd be too busy making love...
