“Dr. Cheryl, my partner and I haven’t had sex in months—PLEASE HELP!”

“Why does sexual desire slow down in long term relationship?

“How can I bring back the sex and passion to my relationship?”

You've heard me say it before on this podcast: Sexless relationships are way more common than you think. The definition for a sexless relationship is one where sex is had six or fewer times per year. That means that if you’re making love but it’s only once every two months or so, you and your sweetheart are in what is defined as a “sexless” or “lower sex” relationship.

On today’s episode of Sex, Love, and Elephants, I’m teaching you all about sexless relationships and the solutions out there that can work for you.

Many of you may have not made love for years… And that’s way more common than you think. One of the biggest problems is that no one talks about it, so we end up having a lot of shame, embarrassment, and confusion around those changes instead of finding a solution that works for our relationship.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• We're so busy running our lives that we often lose each other (03:53)
• Make your sensual life a priority—especially if you’re in a long term relationship (10:33)
• Sometimes, we get so good at running our lives like a business that we know longer see our partner as a sexual being (11:48)
• The idea of scheduled intimacy doesn’t sound romantic but it just may save your sex life (14:41)
• Today’s LoveByte (23:06)
