Description

This course focuses on treating couples who suffer from or report low desire, lack of sexual arousal, sexless marriage or have little or no interest in sex within their partnership.  These couples may find that masturbation, pornography or affairs fill their sexual needs, or they may be shut off or shut down and completely nonsexual.  Although this may be a workable solution for some, for others it is painful, lonely and many sexless couples consider divorce, infidelity, sex workers, and even suicide.

In this course, participants learn a step by step treatment plan that can help couples relearn sensual connection, emotional intimacy, and improve sexual communication.  Preparing for this emotionally and physically begins with creating the space for the work to happen, making sex date nights sacred and making a commitment that both partners want to honor, and finding joy and pleasure in the physical act of sensual touch and anticipation.  For many couples who have not had intercourse in a while, adding in fantasy, integrating erotic curiosity and moving slowly into action can be a new adventure, but one that no longer needs to be avoided.
