SEX - Let's talk about sex and sexual intimacy in your committed relationship.

More specifically, when was the last time you and your partner had a non-defensive, tension-free, and open conversation about sex and sexuality? 

To have a warm, productive conversation about your concerns, needs, feelings, and desires about sex may be rare and more difficult to work through than we would like to admit.

Your intention, one moment, to have healthy and skillful communication about relationship problems can easily turn into unwanted friction, tension, and a first-class argument.—Yet again.  A sensitive subject to avoid.

Decades of research show the following:

 

1- Romantic relationships are vital to our physical health and psychological well-being

2- Despite the importance of sex for relationships, couples face numerous, ongoing challenges to having and maintaining a satisfying sexual relationship.

The result is a serious decline or loss of sexual intimacy in most or many couples.

Fact: The lack of or faulty conflict resolution skills  is one of the top reasons why couples divorce or break up: Another very related reason is lack of emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy.

Learning communication and conflict resolution strategies coupled with learning how to talk about sex, sexuality, and intimacy issues creates positive pathways for possibilities, workability, and satisfaction in your committed relationship.

Consider seeking confidential consultation, counseling, or coaching to address your sex and sexuality concerns with a therapist who specializes in relationship issues and is comfortable helping individuals and couples find a pathway to a sustainable resolution….a healthy, sexually satisfying romantic partnership.
