Dont Have Sex -- For a Little While
Thats right. Many sex therapists recommend taking a break from sex while you and your partner focus on emotional intimacy.
Most of the couples who come to our clinic assume that were going to be talking a lot about sex, says Zamboni. In fact, we often talk a lot less about sex than they expected. Thats because most erection problems have little to do with the mechanics of sex and a lot to do with stress, anxiety, anger, and other feelings that find their way into the bedroom.
Talking intimately about work, about the marriage or relationship, about yourself, can be much more helpful than banging away and trying to have sex, says Zamboni. He counsels couples who are having sexual problems to take walks together, go out for dinner at a favorite restaurant, or spend a quiet evening just talking. Once you and your partner feel more intimate on an emotional level, you may find that your sex drive and your erections perk up.
