Couples usually end up accepting the lack of desire and passion in their relationship as a fact of life for a longterm relationship. They are not happy or satisfied with this, but their attempts at remedying their lack of (passionate) physical intimacy don't usually succeed.
The reason for this is partners' misconceived ideas about sex, intimacy, and each other, unrealistic expectations, body issues, attachment issues, unmet developmental emotional needs, judgement and criticism, and owning of each other instead of themselves. The resulting mindset has a huge impact on their libido and the couple's sexual life.
In addition to addressing the above, couples can greatly increase their passion by actively monitoring and engaging their mind. "Sex is not something we do, is somewhere we go," says MFT colleague Esther Perel, author of Mating in Captivity. We usually focus on what we are doing. It's not about technique, the motions, or the positions. It's about Being deep inside our Selves in our body and our imagination. It's an expression of our Self. How can we desire or be desired if we don't exist …, show up?
It is our job to turn our Selves ON. The more confidence we feel, the better the sex. Turn the criticism and other owning buttons off. You don't have to be perfect and neither does your partner. You don't have to love everything about each other. You are both OK the way you are. You are both Hot!
