Sex and power are interdependent. They are interconnected. There is power in sex and power can be sexy.
Infidelity has never been a gender-equal proposition. Men have practically had a license to cheat...and women have faced dire consequences...
What it tells you is that women have basically behaved by virtue of the dire consequences of what could happen to them: ostracism, pregnancy, destitution and even death. And so once she has more economic independence...she may be more...you may learn more about her desire than you actually have learned about her throughout history, which has been her compliance.
The argument is an age-old argument that says men are biological creatures in perpetual motion in search of an outlet. They can't control themselves and it is the woman who has to be his border, his boundary, and his full stop, right?
I wrote 'The State of Affairs' because I think that we need a new conversation for the oldest sin.
The host introduced the title as a deep dive into why people cheat and offered practical guidance for navigating the aftermath, noting that it helped listeners categorize their experiences and find meaning. Alex Cooper praised the book for providing insight into a topic everyone talks about but rarely discusses openly, and Esther Perel highlighted its basis in a decade of work with infidelity. The discussion framed the book as a valuable resource for anyone dealing with cheating, positioning it as highly recommended.

And reading your book is going to give people insight into The thing we all love to not talk about but also love to talk about
State Affairs is 10 years of working with infidelity And I don't think I'm at the bottom of it yet
I think that this book is helping Almost if anyone is getting cheated on Or even is cheating It almost helps to categorize it So that you have an idea of where you're at Because it can feel very debilitating When you're in the thick of it

I think it's because everybody has a cheating story, right? Whether you were cheated on, someone you know was cheated on, a family member, a parent and reading your book is going to give people insight into the thing we all love to not talk about, but also love to talk about.
I do think that this book is helping almost if anyone is getting cheated on or even is cheating. It almost helps to categorize it so that you have an idea of where you're at, because it can feel very debilitating when you're in the thick of it.
