Marnia Robinson is a former corporate lawyer who left her career to investigate how ancient sacred-sex prescriptions can heal widespread disharmony in intimate relationships. She and her husband, Gary Wilson, have given presentations on the subject worldwide and run a Web site called Reuniting- Healing with Sexual Relationships. She lives in Ashland, OR.
“[This book] seriously challenges conventional ‘wisdom’ about human
sexual interactions. It is as antithetical to modern cultural
beliefs about sexual behavior as Galileo’s treatise was to
astronomy. In Galileo’s time the earth (like the orgasm) was
thought to be the incontestable center of the universe. Marnia
Robinson’s hypothesis might result in much needed navigational
improvements for modern family relationships.”
—A.J. Reid Finlayson, MD, Division of Addiction Medicine,
Department of Psychiatry, Vanderbilt University School of
Medicine
“Marnia Robinson brings neuroscience into the bedroom, revealing
how biology creates projection and separation. She provides a
solution that will not only pleasantly surprise you, but will
profoundly change your life. This is a must-read for anyone wanting
to know love.”
—Kali Wendorf, founder of Australia’s Kindred magazine and
contributing editor of the anthology Belonging
“I can honestly say that I have never read a more accessible and
well laid out description of the brain’s reward circuitry. Combine
that with the experiential, practical, and spiritual dimensions of
Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow, and it is virtually impossible to walk away
from it without the feeling that Marnia Robinson really is on to
something significant in the field of human relationships and
sexual behavior.”
—Russell Razzaque, MD, psychiatrist, London, England
“Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow is a skillful blend of understandable
science, informative personal reports and light-hearted humor,
which make for enjoyable, thought-provoking reading. Between its
chapters, curious readers will also find intriguing essays about
various traditions (Taoism, Christianity, Buddhism, cortezia,
karezza, etc.). These reveal little known, and often remarkable,
clues about the hidden potential that lies in our sexual
relationships.”
—HopeDance
“In Cupid's Poisoned Arrow: From Habit to Harmony in Sexual
Relationships, author Marnia Robinson explains how neuroscience can
help us understand and change our relationships. Robinson
challenges often-held assumptions about the role of sexuality in an
accessible way, including personal experiences, science, and
insights from around the world.”
—MiddlesexMD
“Cupid’s Poisoned Arrow blends personal experiences with the latest
neuroscience and various cultural insights to build a survey of
popular notions about human sexual interactions and their
realities, blending history with cultural and social
observation.”
—Midwest Book Review
