ABSTRACT

The number one sexual problem facing American couples is inhibited sexual desire. The second most common problem is discrepancies in sexual desire. Pundits laugh and say, What do you expect from people married 20 years? In truth, these are not the couples in trouble. Desire problems plague newly married couples, as well as unmarried couples. Contrary to cultural myths, neither boredom nor age are the main factors in inhibited sexual desire. Desire problems occur among all age groups and types of couples.
