Healthy, happy sexuality supports the relationship
Two unique people with different cultural backgrounds and different expectations become intimate partners. Each brings their particular perspective. Communication is central. However, talking openly about our intimate erotic relationship and exploring possible issues and concerns can be challenging.
Questions you might ask include:
- Am I avoiding sexual intimacy?
- Am I having difficulty talking about my sexual concerns with my partner?
- Is my partner less responsive to my sexual desires or am I imagining that?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
These lifestyle choices affect our ability to respond sexually:
- Smoking, which affects blood flow in our genitals.
- Alcohol, which numbs the senses. Sensation is central to sexual pleasure.
- Exercise – an important practice for mental and physical health.
- Time priorities – creating time for sexual intimacy in collaboration with our partner offers time for enhancing romancing.
