Marriage Counseling & Relationship Counseling
Therapy in Philadelphiawritten by : "Alex" Caroline Robboy, CAS, ACSW, LCSW
Marital problems and sex: do you suffer from relationship and / or marital problems? Are you still able to enjoy moments of intimacy with your partner even though there are problems in the relationship? Are you and your partner comfortable with the ways in which the two of you are intimate? Many couples have different styles and needs of intimacy. For example some couples who do not get along simply do not want to have sex. Fighting for them is a 'turn off.' In contrast, other couples couples experience the best sex of their life when they fight. Often the lack direct communication about this topic creates miscommunication. To determine how you and your partner view perceive things, ask yourself the following questions.
- Do you use sex as a way to connect to your partner? And make sure that everything is OK?
- After what types of fights have you wanted to have sex with your partner?
- After what types of fights have you not wanted to have sex with your partner?
- When have you had the best sex with your partner?
- When have you had the worst sex with your partner?
- Are you more turned on when you feel very secure in a relationship, or when you are insecure and partially afraid that he/she could leave you?
- Describe an example of 'boring' sex between you and your partner? How about an "exciting" sexual experience ? What were the main differences
- How do you think your partner would answer these questions?
Share your responses with your partner.Understanding your partners perspective is the first step in fixing the problem.
Infrequent sex / Poor sex can be an indicator that the actual marriage is in trouble. Many times the 'sexual problem' has nothing to do with sex, and everything to do with the underlying dynamics between you and your partner. Sex is simply the identifiable problem. Thus, if this is the case, then you may benefit from meeting with a sex therapist. (good sex therapists are also trained in marriage counseling. By addressing the underlying issues, many people will then begin to desire sex again.
