Gay Men Going Deeper

When Attraction Fades

Listen Later

Why does attraction fade- and what can we do about it?  In this episode, we get real about attraction in long-term relationships. The spark doesn’t always burn forever, and losing sexual interest doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed. We talk about why attraction naturally shifts over time and how couples can ignite intimacy.

We explore:

  • Why attraction fades in relationships
  • The 4 types of intimacy (and why they matter)
  • Sexless marriages and normalizing libido changes
  • What erodes desire over time
  • How to bring spark, novelty, and connection back

    • Join us for a real conversation on attraction, intimacy, and what keeps the spark alive over time.
