How often should couples have sex? I’m going to tell you the truth: If you’re counting, something deeper is already asking for your attention.
When your partner starts feeling more like a roommate, it’s easy to panic. To compare. To wonder whether your relationship is broken.
But the “right number” isn’t the answer.
If you’re lying next to the person you love wondering, “What happened to us?”... this episode is for you.
In this conversation, I’m joined by Growing Self clinician and certified sex therapist Dori Bagi to uncover the hidden reasons desire fades, and what can actually bring it back.
Listen to learn:
Why sexual frequency is often a distracting symptom
How spontaneous and responsive desire work differently
The hidden expectations quietly creating pressure and resentment
How hormones, body image, and emotional disconnection affect desire
Whether attraction can return after it feels completely gone
You may not have a libido problem.
You may have an understanding problem.
And once you can finally see what’s happening, you can start changing it.
Xoxo,
Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
