So many women seem to just give up on sex. Maybe they reach menopause and they’re done with sex. Or maybe well before menopause , she and her partner haven’t gotten through to each other and sex stops. Orif sex continues, she just is unengaged. How can something that feels so good be relegated to such a low/no priority? Here’s why.

Females who don’t want to have sex are often stopped in 3 areas:

the relationship - especially lack of communication,

worry areas – disgust about certain sex acts, poor body image, or fear about not pleasing their partner

pleasure – loss of interest when she doesn’t climax or experience pleasure

 
George and Laurie discuss these areas and role play an initial conversation as a couple talking about her sexual blocks.
