Why Esther Perel Says Americans Are in a Sex Recession

Psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel sits down with TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle to talk about how she is taking her knowledge of intimacy and relationships on the road with her brand-new world tour called “Strangers, Friends and Lovers.” She explains why she thinks Americans are in a “sex recession” and how it's become transactional. "People go on a date and they often experience it as a job interview with a checklist and they hope that some butterflies are going to spring inside of them. That's not exactly how it happens," she says. Perel also emphasizes the importance of seeing people face-to-face, saying, “You can have 1,000 friends on social media and no one to watch your dog.” Then, Perel weighs in on people dating AI chatbots and shares details about her upcoming dating series "The Last Person on Earth." » Subscribe to Today with Jenna & Sheinelle:    / @jennasheinelle   » Watch TODAY All Day:    / today   America’s feel-good morning show with big stars and sweet surprises!
