Revisiting these feelings and thoughts may help you both to refocus your sexual energies, and recognize that you are both in pain and both missing out, and with more empathy and meaningful communication you should try to create willingness to meet each other’s needs. By recognizing that you are both on the same side, you should make every effort to stop criticism, sarcasm, bickering so that you can create a more positive attitude to each other.
Considering these reasons for expressing your love through sex may also remind you of your courting days when the excitement of being together heightened your sexual awareness and receptiveness and response. Think about having an affair with your spouse/partner- this should add some excitement!
A change in attitude, meaningful communication, setting aside time to be intimate and focus your sexual energies toward one another in a loving way will help to
i
mprove your relationship and enhance your sexual responsiveness.
Professional help is available from psychologists, social workers, marriage counsellors and sex therapists.
