Why Isn’t He Aroused? Issues in Male Sexual Functioning – Part 2

This is the fun part! The part where curiosity, exploration and playfulness are key.  Feeling comfortable exploring our own sexuality and our ‘couple sexuality’ is not always easy.  It may be a bit awkward at first as many people have been brought up with the notion that talking about sex and sexuality is immodest or not “tzanua”.  Open communication is essential in all areas of our relationships--refraining from such open conversation in many circumstances can lead to great marital discord.   The results of a couple exploring and discovering on their own what helps or impedes arousal are tremendous.  

Harchakot are Hard

‘The harchakot are hard’.This is true. However, complete the thought: : ‘The fact that this is hard means I deeply  love my spouse, and I am grateful for that awareness,’ or ‘I am going to use this opportunity to show love in new and creative ways, maybe in conversation or through a small act of love that only my spouse will understand,’ or ‘This separation is a way for me to care for myself, a Shabbat for my body that reminds me to practice self-care and that rejuvenates me to give with a full heart’?
