Mismatched sex drives in a relationship can feel like a lonely battle. You love your partner, but the spark just isn’t there as often as you’d like. The guilt, the frustration, the unspoken tension – it can be tough to navigate.
You might even be considering drastic measures, like opening up your relationship, but that might not be the solution.
Before jumping to any conclusions, hosts Jessica Reyes, Patricia Wu, and guest Dr. Cortina Peters wants you to remember: open and honest communication is key.
Talk to your partner. Share your feelings, worries, and insecurities. Listen to theirs. It’s about understanding each other’s perspectives and finding a way forward that works for both of you.
Explore different solutions together. Maybe it’s scheduling intimate time, trying new things, or even seeking guidance from a sex therapist. The goal is to find common ground and create a plan that respects everyone’s needs.
And if the idea of an open relationship has crossed your mind, it’s okay to talk about it. It’s not a magic bullet, and it might create more problems than it solves.
Ultimately, the most important thing is to prioritize the health of your relationship. That means communicating openly, exploring solutions together, and seeking help if you need it.
