Episode Details

Some lower libido partners act like the only healthy "reason" to have sex is that both people equally in that moment experience spontaneous sexual desire.  This is about as likely within monogamy as a solar eclipse (refer to responsive desire podcast episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Hd1HA0s5XisP7OJaSOtpV?si=WRXJsfTQQkCfYbIdf_FbNw&nd=1) and if this is the only "okay" reason for you to have sex, your relationship is likely suffering from the lack of closeness that these constraints impose.  In this episode, I discuss how there are many healthy uses of sexual contact within a relationship, just as there are many uses of talking and of spending time together and any other mode of connection.
