When I meet people at parties and tell them I’m a psychosexual therapist, the most common question I’m asked — often in a whisper, possibly after a few glasses of wine — is how to get a sex life back on track once the spark in a marriage has waned.
It’s a familiar theme in my clinic, too, and almost always at the root of it is a mismatch of libidos. But, sometimes, the reason for the mismatch is complicated.
