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
