Let's Talk About Sex, Baby (Without It Being Awkward)
When one partner wants it more than the other, it can feel like you're speaking different languages. Let's talk about desire mismatch—the most common sex problem nobody talks about.
Here's a fun fact: in almost every long-term relationship, there's a partner who wants sex more and a partner who wants it less. It's called desire mismatch, and it's as normal as arguing over what to watch on Netflix. The problem isn't the mismatch itself; it's the silence that surrounds it.
When we don't talk about it, it turns into a weird, high-stakes guessing game. One person feels rejected, the other feels pressured. Nobody wins. So, let's break the silence.
This isn't about "fixing" anyone's libido. It's about getting curious. What's really going on? Is it stress? Fatigue? Are you feeling disconnected in other areas of your life? Having an open, honest conversation about desire—without blame or shame—is the first step. It's about moving from a place of frustration to a place of empathy. And from there, you can start to find a rhythm that works for both of you.
