Marital Intimacy Ground Zero

Most chronic intimacy-related challenges fall into one or more of five categories:

• Biological issues that make it difficult to perform optimally
• Libido differences
• Inattentiveness to spousal intimacy needs/satisfaction
• Spousal neglect
• Infidelity-induced emotional distance

Marital Intimacy 1.0

• Contentment with the status quo rather than expectation that better marital intimacy is possible
• Difficulty talking about sexual satisfaction and desires
• “Faking it”
• Visualization of others during intercourse with your spouse
• Reliance on pornography and erotica to achieve sexual satisfaction
• Emotionless sex (dubbed “sextimacy”)
