5 Causes of Sexlessness in Otherwise Loving Relationships

You're not fighting. But you're still not doing it.

Beyond any doubt, you love your partner. And they love you too.

You’re not fighting. Sure, you bicker sometimes, but no more than the average couple. Neither of you has plans to leave the relationship.

Your feet still find one another under the covers. You still get that little flutter of anticipation when you know your honey is on their way home. They’re still the one.

But you’re not having sex. And you haven’t in quite a while. Which is disorienting, given how strong your feelings are.

Culture doesn’t give us much nuance here. We’re socialized to the idea that healthy relationships include sex. So when you stop doing the do, that must mean the relationship is hitting the skids, right?

Sometimes. But not always.

Everything here is written for grown-ups who are still figuring out sex, love, and partnership. Subscribe for unfiltered conversations about intimacy, desire, and love beyond 40.

People who love each other deeply stop having sex, too. In this episode, we’re exploring why that happens. And it doesn’t mean what you think… pinky swear.
