Do you and your partner have conflicts over sex? Does your relationship suffer from a lack of sex?

Sean wrote in the following question on one of my free webinars about sexuality: “My wife and I have been married now for eighteen years and for the most part are still very happy together. A year or so ago a friend introduced us to Inner Bonding and both together and alone we have become familiar with the Six Steps. My question for you this evening is, what suggestions do have to help us communicate our sexual needs and desires without so much defensiveness and judgments? Our wounded selves have a powerful dynamic in these regards so fear, of course, enters in with its control/protect mode. And so the dance continues…” Continue reading How to Talk about Sex       Are you in a relationship with a man who is not sexual? You are not alone!
In a question to me on one of my webinars, Melanie writes: “My husband is very loving, but not very sexual.

Your thoughts and insights would be really appreciated. Thank you.” Continue reading Why Many Women Don’t Think About Sex “If you ask something of someone and you are upset over their response, then it wasn’t a request, it was a demand.” – Michael E.

We might even mean ‘yes’ in the moment we say it, but because most of us hate being controlled by another, we might unconsciously resist doing what the other person has asked us to do.
