Bad Sex? Here’s how to fix it.
It’s normal, we’re here to help…just keep reading!
Sometimes sex can become a stale affair. If you’ve been in a relationship for some time you can easily fall into a same-old-same-old state. Alternatively, even in a new relationship, not being able to communicate likes/dislikes due to lack of experience or communication practices can lead to bad or no sex. Sex can become similar to a “best-JV-athlete” sport you’re no longer interested in because it has lost its novelty with your partner.
Worse, sex can seem like a chore or work you feel compelled to engage in to keep your partner satisfied even though it does very little for you. It becomes a primary source of shame and resentment that no one dares to address.
Resentment builds up and the sex becomes less frequent. One partner feels denied and the other partner feels imposed upon. This devolution can be avoided. Adding novelty (or just sex) back into your sex life can potentially be an antidote to that monotony, staleness, and a general lack of fun.
