The 6 Biggest Problems Sex Therapists Hear—Solved
Maybe your go-to positions have started feeling stale. (Missionary, again, really?) Maybe you had a baby and after being mom all day, binge watching "Designated Survivor" sounds far more appealing than the effort that goes into sex. Or maybe you want to try sex toys, but your partner prefers sticking to the basics. Does this mean your relationship is doomed to a lifetime of subpar sex? Absolutely not.
"Couples may feel bad when they come across issues in their sex life, whether it's boredom or being too tired to do it at all, but it's important to remember that every couple deals with these kinds of problems at some point," says Lauren Zander, couples coach and author of Maybe It's You. "The good news is that being honest, open, and willing to keep your sex life alive and fun will help you find solutions."
Here are the most common challenges couples face in the bedroom and how to overcome the bumps in the road. (Looking for more relationship and health advice? Sign up to get sex tips, relationship solutions, and slimming recipes delivered straight to your inbox.)
