Mismatched desire is one of the main sources of frustrations and tension in sexual relationships. Mismatched desire is the term used when one person may want more than the other. This is the most common thing I clients will bring to me, however with further investigation most women will realize that there isn’t actually a problem with mismatched desire at all.

This week I want you to understand what mismatched desire is and isn’t, because how we handle this and move forward looks very different in either case. Learning more about yourself and about your partner will help both of you have much more satisfying sexual experiences - which is of course my aim! Listen on and find out if you truly are experiencing mismatched desire or perhaps the way desire is presenting itself is outside what media depicts.

What You’ll Learn from this Episode:

  • The importance of labels and why calling it sex ‘drive’ can be problematic
  • Sexual urges vs sexual desires
  • The misrepresentation of desire in the media and how that can impact your relationship
  • Why a difference in how desire is experienced is more commonly the issue NOT mismatched desire
