ABSTRACT
After infidelity, many couples struggle with how to restart their sex life again. Should they wait until they know their partner is fully committed? Will waiting to have sex cause their partner to cheat again? Sometimes, the unfaithful partner cheated because he/she was tired of living in a sexless or sex-starved marriage. In this chapter, Angela Skurtu, an AASECT certified sex therapist, describes several of the common issues couples experience related to sex and desire. A big part of moving on from infidelity is making sure a couple is happy in all aspects of their life, including their sexuality and their desire for one another. Clinicians need to be educated in matters of sex so they can discuss sexual issues honestly with their clients. In this chapter, Angela Skurtu helps clinicians address these concerns directly.
