De-Stress Your Sex Life
by Pamela M. Peeke, MD, MPH
Don't believe the hype! On TV, sex is natural, spontaneous, and earth shattering. In real life, you must make room and find time for it. Otherwise, when you get in bed you will sleep!
If you've gotten a clean bill of health from your doctor and none of the above tips seem to help, seek counseling. Therapy can identify issues you didn't even know you had. One example of a hidden issue for some women is losing all sexual desire after the birth of their first child. Women often make the responsibility of being a mother their highest priority, but some women received an additional message growing up: "Mothers are not sexual." Not true!
Approach the sex issue with patience and kindness, both toward yourself and your partner. Repairing and restoring intimacy take time, but your relationship is worth it!
