Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

The Intimacy Freeze: What No One Tells You About Sexless Relationships


Listen Later

Have you ever looked across the room at your partner and thought, “When did we become roommates instead of lovers?” Maybe you’re still affectionate, still loving—but the sexual connection? Practically nonexistent. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

In fact, nearly 1 in 5 marriages are considered “sexless,” but that doesn’t mean your spark is gone for good.

In this Language of Love Bite, we’re diving deep into the real reasons couples stop being intimate—and exactly how to rebuild your sex life step-by-step, even if it’s been months (or years). By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly what to say to your partner—and how to start feeling sexy together again.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

  • The top 3 culprits behind sexless relationships (it’s not just stress!)

  • Why emotional safety is the real aphrodisiac

  • The exact words to use when you want to bring up the lack of sex—without it getting awkward

  • The sensual (not sexual) ritual that jumpstarts physical intimacy without pressure

  • A proven sex therapy technique called sensate focus that helps you reawaken desire

  • The gentle roadmap from no sex… to next-level pleasure

    If conversations feel too loaded, find a certified sex therapist via AASECT.

    Don’t miss out on 7 Days to Better Sex —a game-changing guide designed to bring more passion and connection into your relationship.
