089 When Your Partner Doesn't Want Sex Anymore

The Sexual Alchemy Podcast

Today's episode is about something I hear a lot working with cisgender heterosexual couples - what should men do when their spouse shuts down to sex? I share multiple options to explore as a couple and come back into intimacy together. You'll also learn alternatives for couples who want to try new things separately, how men should approach this issue from a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, and more.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- How a compassionate, loving, and empathetic approach can help you get back into intimacy with your spouse

- What it means for you as a man and your sexual energy that your partner is shut down to sex

- Why introspection might be a helpful tool to find out the root cause of the shutdown of sex

- What options you have if the answer is to solve it in separate ways

- A short story of a couple who went through this issue and how they solved it

- Why you shouldn't be judgmental with your partner about it

As hard as it might be to hear that your spouse has decided to close herself to sex, you must know it is as hard for her to acknowledge it first, and perhaps even harder to verbalise it. Regardless of the frustration, shame or guilt you might feel when hearing it, you must remember to be patient and curious, and get into the conversation with a loving, caring, and compassionate mindset.
