ABSTRACT
A joyful sexuality can be the place where the relationship is experienced most intensely, where children are conceived and where we generate new energy, new courage, and an intense shared life. Sexuality can be the glue that sustains the relationship. Being sexual is a dialogue, which may be nonverbal, which works. There is devotion, playfulness, experimentation with roles, etc. We often find that an unsatisfactory sex life can be the decisive factor that prompts a couple to opt for therapy. This is a very good decision, because often it is not just the sexual relationship that has died. Pregnancy makes some women feel uncomfortable when having sex, and many parents with small children may feel that their desire to have sex is suddenly not as great. Women as well as men produce the hormone testosterone, one of the many factors which influences desire and sex.
