A sexless marriage can survive, but it comes at a cost. Lack of sex can lead to feelings of resentment and disconnection. It’s also a sign that there may be underlying issues in the relationship.
If there’s a “desire discrepancy” (as California-based sex therapist Christene Lozano calls it), then there are ways to fix it.
Walk around naked
If you find that your sex life has become boring, it’s important to bring new spark into the relationship. Walking around naked can be a great way to stimulate your sexual drive. It can also be a form of foreplay and can help you discover what triggers your partner’s libido. It’s important to remember that every couple is different and that the best way to initiate sex in your marriage will be unique to you.
Often, a lack of intimacy is due to a combination of factors. Some of these include hormone fluctuations, an inability to talk about sex openly, and other emotional issues. However, these problems do not have to be permanent. With good communication and the right sex therapist, couples can overcome these challenges.
Many of these factors can have a serious impact on the overall health of the marriage. For instance, a lack of intimacy can lead to a rift in the emotional connection between partners. This may cause them to distance themselves from each other and even think about divorce.
Fortunately, there are ways to revive your marriage without cheating on your spouse. For example, you can try new sex toys or sexual positions and step up the foreplay. You can also try a new hobby or sport. This will allow you to focus on other areas of your life and will help you relieve pent-up energy.
Cuddle up naked
There are a lot of reasons couples find themselves in a sexless marriage. Whether it’s tension, stress, hormones, physical distance or a busy lifestyle, sex can take a back seat. Whatever the reason, it’s important for both partners to communicate honestly about their wants and needs, as well as how they want to restore a sense of intimacy.
It’s possible to revive your libido and bring sex into your marriage once again. It just takes a little creativity. You can start by doubling the amount of affection you show one another. Give each other kisses, hugs and cuddles, and don’t be afraid to be playful. For example, you could hold hands while watching a movie or gently rub her stomach and thighs. You can also tease and seduce each other, without pushing sexual boundaries. For instance, you might pull her into your lap and kiss her neck, or you could back her against a wall, then touch her thigh or penis.
It’s also important to remind your partner that you love them and want to be intimate with them. If you’re both in a sexless marriage, make a list of things you’d like to try in the bedroom, and then refer to it during sexy times. Eventually, the list will help you break out of your sexless routine.
Let your partner know you’d like to have sex
Many couples become sexless for a variety of reasons. It’s important for both partners to communicate their sexual needs and wants in the relationship. For example, a woman might say “I want to have sex” or “I don’t.” It’s also important for both partners to try new methods of initiating sex. This can be a great way to keep the spark alive in the marriage.
Initiating sex can be a daunting task for some people, especially if they’re in a sexless marriage. Some women feel uncomfortable asking their husband to initiate sex, while others may not want to take the initiative because they’re afraid of rejection. If you’re in a sexless relationship, it’s important to try new things in the bedroom to reignite the spark and make your partner feel wanted.
There are a variety of reasons why you and your spouse might be in a sexless marriage. These can include low libido, infidelity, masturbation addiction, passive-aggressive behavior, or unresolved relationship issues. It takes real commitment and courage to pursue sex in a marriage, but it’s possible.
Remember that physical intimacy is just as important as emotional intimacy in a healthy marriage. Don’t place too much value on how often you have sex, and focus instead on communicating, building trust, and creating a bond with your partner.
Don’t take it personally
In some cases, a couple’s sexual intimacy may take a hit due to life circumstances and stressors. It’s important to remember that this isn’t a sign of a lack of love or commitment, as physical closeness can be a fundamental need in any relationship.
Getting back into the swing of sex in a sexless marriage can be tricky, especially if your partner is resistant to the idea. However, it’s important to not take this personally – remember, it takes courage and work to do anything for the first time, including meeting new people or trying a new exercise class at the gym.
It’s also a good idea to try and focus on the positive aspects of your relationship, such as how much you appreciate your partner and how they help you in your daily life. This can help you to keep the focus off of the sexless parts of your marriage, and it can also help you to feel more confident in yourself.
If you find that you’re still struggling to initiate sex in your sexless marriage, it may be helpful to seek outside help. You could try attending couples therapy, seeing a sex therapist, or even joining a sexless marriage support group for men (like MensGroup). This can help you to reconnect with your partner and to re-invigorate the passion in your relationship.
