Sexual Aversion
in Philadelphiawritten by : Jennifer Foust M.S., LPC
Most people are not in the mood for sex twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Sometimes people get sick, tired, stressed out or simply don't have time. This is normal. However, if the feeling of not wanting sex persists, you might be experiencing a sexual aversion.
Sexual aversions can occur when:
- You are with the a person for the wrong reasons (e.g. obligation)
- You and your significant other are fighting and you do not feel emotionally close
- You dislike the way the person smells or looks
- You have trouble teaching a person how you like to be touched
- You are experiencing flashbacks of sexual trauma
If you are experiencing a sexual aversion to your partner, talk to him/her about it. Most sexual aversions can be worked through with good communication skills. What you may soon realize is that what you thought was a sexual aversion, was simply you and your partner had forgotten the importance of seduction. Without seduction, people often don't feel sexy, or in the mood.
