What is sex therapy anyway?
Sex therapy is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals and couples overcome sexual difficulties and enhance their sexual relationship. By addressing issues such as low sexual desire, arousal challenges, pain during sex, or past sexual trauma, sex therapy provides a safe and supportive space for open communication. Couples can improve intimacy, increase sexual satisfaction, and strengthen their overall relationship by learning effective communication techniques and exploring ways to enhance sexual pleasure. While progress may take time, sex therapy offers a valuable path for couples seeking to resolve sexual concerns, rebuild connection, and deepen trust and intimacy in their relationship.
Want to fight better? Do these 4 things.
Most of us spend years training for our careers, but few receive guidance on how to handle conflict in relationships. Fighting well is not instinctive—it’s a skill that requires practice, compassion, and care. By using “I statements,” speaking your truth with kindness, taking breaks when tensions rise, and prioritizing repair and reconnection, couples can transform conflict into an opportunity for deeper understanding. Learning how to fight with love instead of blame builds stronger, healthier, and more resilient relationships.
5 Things couples can do to maintain desire in long term relationships
Diminished desire is one of the most common challenges in long-term relationships, often leading to mismatched libidos, resentment, and disconnection between partners. Rekindling intimacy starts with letting go of the myth of spontaneous desire and recognizing that both spontaneous and responsive desire require effort, planning, and prioritization. Open communication about wants, needs, and evolving preferences is key, as is focusing on quality over quantity when it comes to sex. Expanding your definition of intimacy beyond intercourse, embracing pleasure as the guiding principle, and rejecting rigid ideas of what’s “normal” can help couples rediscover connection and satisfaction in their sex lives.
