It is a common saying that marriage kills sex. In fact, it is often said about any long-term relationship. It is a source of jokes, both for singles and for couples and married people.
But as many of us know from our own experience, humor often reflects real and painful truths. Many couples experience a decrease in sexual activity as time goes on, for a variety of reasons. On many occasions, it gets to the point where spouses rarely, or never, have sexual intercourse. They are in an asexual marriage or asexual relationship.
Sexless relationships are more common than you might think, and it’s almost never talked about. Who would willingly admit to the world that he or she is in an asexual relationship?
Perhaps that is why there is very little counseling material available in plain language for men and women who are in asexual relationship and want to get their sex life back.
Relationship Expert Kate Dixon’s e-book Put it in the mood – Make your man love you more! delves into this great void with counseling for women in plain English, comprehensively covering the problem from all angles: possible reasons why couples end up in a sexless marriage or in a sexless relationship, how to address the problems and reasons and how to fix them, and how to prevent the problem from happening again after it has been fixed.
I loved this ebook for many reasons, but especially for three:
- It was written by a woman, for women, from a woman’s perspective, and with the sensitivity that only a woman can give another woman.
- A proactive approach is needed, repeatedly encouraging women to take initiative and take action to resolve sexual and other problems in their relationships from a position of strength, rather than sitting and watching helplessly as they deteriorate further and possibly arrive to its end.
- It’s practical, straightforward, doesn’t beat around the bush, and it’s written in plain English that doesn’t require a degree in psychology.
Until now, many women in asexual marriages or relationships felt too embarrassed to talk to someone about it without spending hundreds or even thousands of dollars on upfront professional help. Now there is finally an alternative.
