Title: From Frustration to Fulfillment: Dealing with a Sexless Relationship
Article:
You love each other, but physical intimacy has faded—or stopped altogether. It hurts. It confuses. But it doesn’t have to mean the end.
What Is a Sexless Relationship?
Typically defined as having sex less than 10 times a year, but the real test is: Does the lack of intimacy feel painful to you?
Why Does It Happen?
Life stress, kids, or fatigue
Medical conditions or menopause
Emotional disconnection
Past trauma or negative associations with sex
Unspoken resentment or conflict
What You Can Do Together
Talk Without Blame: Say, “I miss being close to you” instead of “Why don’t you want me anymore?”
Reconnect Emotionally First: Intimacy is born from emotional warmth.
Start Slowly: Touch, kiss, cuddle. Rebuild physical safety.
Remove the Goal of Sex: Let closeness unfold without pressure.
Seek Help: Therapists can help rebuild the emotional and sexual bond.
Healing Insight:
It’s not about how often—it’s about feeling desired, safe, and connected. That spark can return—with intention and care.
