The School of Life on sex and relationships


One of the great burdens that our Romantic culture has imposed upon us is the idea that, if things are working as they should, love and sexual fulfilment will fit neatly together.

It is this sublime idea that begins to torment us when – as is the case in almost every relationship – sex gradually becomes less intense and less frequent. This can appear nothing short of a catastrophe, a sign of monstrous failure and very often a prelude to a break-up. Yet the problem is not ours alone. It is simply that almost everything that can make love go well seems primed not to make sex go well, and vice versa.

When it comes to sex and love, our books and tools for relationships can provide much-needed relief from the loneliness and confusion that these might bring.

A book which demonstrates that, far from thinking about sex too much, we haven't begun to think about it as deeply as we should.

A pack of cards designed to spark the best kind of pillow talk: the sort where we explore sex with intimacy, playfulness and intellectual curiosity.

52 cards, each one posing an intriguing question or setting a challenge, designed to provoke, entertain and stimulate.
