Couple Sex Coaching
The Essence of Couple Sex Coaching
All couples have difficulties with sex and intimacy at some point in their relationship. Sometimes these difficulties become the focus of a couple’s dissatisfaction. Although some sexual problems can be addressed with medication, surgery or practicing certain techniques, often couples discover that medication and techniques alone cannot address the complexities of desire and affection.
The primary goal of couple sex coaching is to encourage both emotional and physical intimacy. This is done by using the sexual aspect of the relationship as a starting point from which to achieve a balance between separateness and relatedness. Partners are encouraged to identify and communicate their sexual needs and desires in ways that maintain personal integrity and respect for the partner. It is in the crucible of “mature dependency” that a good sexual relationship is born.

The Desire to be Desired
More than the ability to perform, most people want to experience desire and being desired. A good sexual experience typically involves a fluid interaction between the body’s ability to transmit and respond to physical stimulation, on the one hand and how we feel with and about our partner on the other hand.
It is the subjective, emotional process each of us experiences that brings meaning to our sexual experiences. Most of us want that process to be characterized by passion…at least some of the time. Human sexual desire can appear very straightforward but it often very complex…even fragile. The complexity that makes us capable of profoundly meaningful sex also makes low sexual desire a very common complaint.
