Surviving a sexless marriage or relationship can be an ordeal for any couple, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the road. The first step toward remedying this issue is to delve deeper into its underlying triggers. One of the common reasons behind one partner’s lack of interest in sex could be unresolved sexual trauma from the past. Similarly, lacking or fizzling out emotional intimacy can also put your sex life in limbo.
Often, not knowing your way around your partner’s body and vice-versa can also take pleasure out of sexual interactions, making it less and less appealing. Talking about sex and an uninhibited approach toward expressing sexual needs and desires can prove to be an effective tool toward combatting this roadblock that hinders intimacy and gives ways to sexless marriages and relationships.
Lack Of Sexual Intimacy
You may not always be able to identify the signs your partner is faking it in bed. This is especially true for women who can fake climax signs and continue engaging in sex out of a sense of obligation toward their partners and relationships. Reaching out and talking to them is the best recourse for resolving issues of dissatisfying or non-existent sex life.
Lack of sexual intimacy in a marriage can spill out of the bedroom and begin to take a toll on every aspect of a couple’s relationship. That’s why this issue mustn’t be swept under the rug. Address the elephant in your bedroom sooner rather than later to bounce back from the abyss of a sexless marriage before it’s too late.
In such situations, seeking professional help from a therapist or sexologist can be immensely beneficial. So, shake off the stigma and work as a team to build a holistic, well-rounded relationship that thrives on intimacy.
Porn addiction is not a psychiatrically recognized affliction however it is still a real problem, especially amongst men. In fact a pornography addiction can become truly problematic when it reduces sexual response in the bedroom.
This happens primarily because of the unrealistic standards and expectations that porn has created for you which you start to expect from your partner too.
