Intimacy Issues

Sexual dissatisfaction can result from a variety of issues, such as differences in sexual preferences, quality of sexual encounters, frequency of sexual activity, or unresolved relationship conflicts that spill over into the bedroom. Many couples struggle with communication around sexuality. We can help you and your partner navigate those challenges.

Physical intimacy often declines over time due to factors like busy schedules, stress, health issues, aging changes, or emotional disconnection. This can include a decrease in sexual activity, affection (e.g., holding hands, kissing, or cuddling), and general physical closeness.

Sometimes, couples feel distant because one or both partners don’t initiate physical touch as often, leading to feelings of rejection or neglect.

Couples often struggle when their desires are misaligned. This could be related to differences in libido, frequency of intimacy, or specific preferences.

One partner may feel pressured to engage in sexual activity, while the other feels their needs are unmet.

Over time, these mismatches can erode self-esteem and create emotional distance, with one partner potentially feeling overwhelmed while the other feels unfulfilled.
