Are you satisfied with the amount of sex that you have in your marriage? Have you ever thought about why, despite having a “license” to have sex by being married, people in India (especially women) tend to be dissatisfied by sex? What are some thoughts that don’t let you enjoy sex or find pleasure? Do you find it difficult to communicate your desire to be physically intimate to your partner?

Sex is not JUST physical, it is also a supreme psychological activity. A sexless marriage is one in which one or more partners are not satisfied with the amount of sex that is being had. Join us as we explore thoughts and attitudes largely in the Indian context that tend to be unhelpful when we want to have (and, more importantly, ENJOY) sex! We know after listening to this, you will be tempted to invest a bit more into having a healthy sex life.

The word "attachment" refers to emotional bonds that we form with those close to us, starting with our parents or primary caregivers.

Does that mean how our caregivers behaved with us can determine how we would attach to romantic partners? Tune in to understand the types of attachments, to explore the role of attachment in romantic relationships and tips about how to make your relationships more fulfilling!
