Couple: coping with lack of desire

The lack of desire often has disastrous consequences in a couple, because inevitably one of the two partners makes the other suffer by imposing this lack of libido. The best way to solve this problem and understand its origins is communication.

Routine is often the only one responsible for a dull married life and without relief. After several years of living together, even if the feelings remain unchanged, the sex life is sometimes relegated to the second or even third after work, family life, leisure ...

It sometimes takes a little spice to break this routine. For that, it is necessary to establish a dialogue and speak freely of its respective blockages. Solutions can be found: a romantic weekend without children to reconnect with the language of your body. Clear of your daily concerns, this parenthesis can help to find a certain carnal alchemy.

Making love should not be reduced to a conjugal duty or a work. After several years, sexual intercourse may be sorely lacking and preliminaries are often obscured. It's about giving them back their importance because they are a first step to access desire...

In men as in women, hormonal imbalance can also cause this lack of sexual appetite. The sex hormones decrease with age, so this condition can be a perfectly normal passage.

A depressive episode inevitably leads to a fall of desire : anxiety, stress, psychological trauma have sometimes serious repercussions in the life of a couple, it is in this case to take advice from a therapist to treat this depression.
 
 
Our advice
Loss of desire do not rhyme with loss of love feelings. From the first signs, talk freely and naturally with your spouse and also consider using a sex therapist to guide you if these problems become insurmountable.
