And another thing is to, for these couples, is to give yourselves permission to take sex, if you define it as penetration or orgasm, off the table. And then for a week or a month, say, we're just going to start to explore again. And today's just going to be about kissing. And the next week, we're going to be about exploring each other's hands or bodies or torso.

And we are just going to learn to find different ways to please each other and open up different receptors. And just, I mean, there's so much to explore. So I would say that... Again, the way it just couples can can get it back if they're both willing. Now, if there's one partner and here's you probably have found this as a couples therapist. And it's really, really in all the work you've done.

It's so challenging. And I found this a lot. Oftentimes there's one in the relationship who is pushing that sex boulder up the hill. They're like, let's have the conversations. Let's mix it up. Let's talk about it. Let's go to therapy. And there might be one partner going back to cultural conditioning and sexual shame and they don't want to talk about it. They don't want to discuss it.

And they deeply believe that if they talk about sex and they have to work on it, then their relationship is over or it's broken or sex shouldn't be talked about. Again, I can't tell you how many people like still believe that sex should actually not, not only should that be talked about like on Instagram or anywhere, but it shouldn't even be talked about in a relationship. Right.

I would say, and I would love to know your take on this, I believe that 99.9% of couples have not yet had a healthy conversation about sex that has helped them truly connect and have more pleasure and have the sex that they want. Most of the conversations around sex are, when are we having it? We haven't had it a lot. How come you never do this or that?

I love that you said that. That is truly where I would say the majority of sex conversations are living. They're living up here in the numbers and the techniques and all these other things. But when we learn to be vulnerable and say the things that we think we cannot say, that's when the whole world of sensuality and sexuality truly opens up.
