| So, you’d like to have more sex than you’re currently having. You’re not alone. One 2015 study that tracked couples’ desire found four in five people in relationships dealt with differing levels of sexual desire within a single month. Additionally, low desire and desire discrepancy are the most common sexual issues that come up in couples therapy. In other words, this issue is not rare. Of course, that doesn’t make the question of “how to ask for more sex?” any easier to address.
Here's the thing: Everyone deserves to feel sexually satisfied, and for those in committed relationships, we know sexual satisfaction is interlinked with overall relationship satisfaction. So if this is something that’s on your mind, know that it is worth bringing it up to your partner. There are ways to approach this conversation — and the mutual efforts that need to come after it — with a sense of camaraderie, care, and curiosity. |
