ABSTRACT

Two major contributions from the sex therapy field to the study and treatment of couple problems are the use of psychosexual skill exercises and the concept of a couple sexual style distinct from the general relational style. Discovering the couple sexual style has two dimensions (McCarthy & McCarthy, 2009). The first is how to balance each person’s sexual autonomy ( sexual voice ) with being an intimate sexual team. The second is how each couple sexual style integrates intimacy and eroticism.
