Doing It Together: Making Sense of Low Libido, Sex, and Intimacy in Marriage.

The Truth About Spicing Up Your Marriage (And Why It Doesn’t Help With Low Libido) | Ep. 51


Listen Later

Have you heard the advice to "spice things up" to keep your sex life alive? Get kinky, say dirty words, try new positions, watch porn. I tried all of these things and more in my marriage to increase my low sex drive but I was left feeling empty, unsatisfied and unaligned with myself.  


I believe the key to more connected intimacy is becoming more of who you are in the sexual experience, not pretending to be someone you aren't. In this episode, I discuss why chasing increased physical sensations doesn’t work in the long term to enjoy sex more and the courage and truth-telling that genuine intimacy requires.
