Are you stuck in a "sexless marriage" even though you both want intimacy? Dr. Doug Weiss reveals why most couples stop having sex simply because of an "initiation gap."
In this video, Dr. Weiss discusses how many couples have miscommunication with sexual frequency, the concept of shared sexual responsibility, and how to reduce anxiety and constant rejection. If you feel unwanted, resentful, or tired of "begging for crumbs," this practical guide will show you how to negotiate a sex life that is fun, consistent, and satiating.
