Having treated many couples presenting with s*xual desire discrepancies, I’ve found that these difficulties are often influenced by individual factors within each partner, not simply differences in libido. Common contributors include:

Different erotic interests.
In some relationships, frequency is not the central issue. Instead, the mismatch lies in the type of s*xual experience each partner desires, which can create ongoing frustration even when s*x is occurring regularly.

Timing differences.
Couples may fall out of sync due to work schedules, sleep patterns, stress levels, or biological rhythms. When one partner feels most receptive in the morning and the other late at night, opportunities for connection can easily be missed.

Demanding or rigid expectations.
Some individuals hold narrow or inflexible s*xual preferences and become distressed or resentful when s*x does not unfold in a specific way. This rigidity can generate pressure and erode safety and desire in the relationship.

Disgust and shame.
Erotic differences may not simply be unshared but actively aversive. Certain fantasies or behaviors—such as kink, oral s*x, s*x with the lights on, or a**l s*x—can evoke discomfort, disgust, or shame, often shaped by cultural messages, trauma, or early s*xual learning.

Quality of s*xual connection.
Desire discrepancies may reflect dissatisfaction with the quality of s*x rather than its frequency. When one partner is unwilling or unable to attend to the other’s needs, the dissatisfied partner may opt for no s*x rather than engage in experiences that feel unfulfilling or emotionally disconnecting.

Loss of attraction.
Over the course of long-term relationships, partners change physically, emotionally, and psychologically. These shifts can impact both physical attraction and emotional desire, sometimes quietly but profoundly.

When a trauma wound is activated, your nervous system doesn’t respond from your present-day self.
It responds from the age you were when the hurt first happened.

That’s why a calm conversation can suddenly feel overwhelming—why you might shut down, panic, or lash out in ways that don’t feel like you. This isn’t a failure. It’s often a protective part, a younger part, trying to keep you safe.

When you begin to recognize these moments as emotional time travel, everything changes.
You stop blaming yourself and start making sense to yourself.

Healing isn’t about forcing yourself to “act your age.”
It’s about meeting the younger you with the safety, attunement, and compassion they never had.

Trauma can literally change the structure of your brain.🧠

That’s why symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, and triggers from certain sounds or smells are real neurological responses, not signs of weakness or
“overreacting.”

Here’s what’s happening inside your brain after trauma.
👇🏼
1️⃣ The Hippocampus: your memory center.
When it shrinks after trauma, it struggles to tell the difference between past danger and present safety.
That’s why flashbacks feel like they’re happening right now.

2️⃣ The Amygdala: your internal alarm system.
If a traumatic memory is stored incorrectly, the amygdala stays on high alert, sending fight-or-flight signals even when there’s no real threat.

3️⃣ The Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex : your emotional regulator.
When this area goes offline, it becomes harder to manage big emotions — which is why you might
“overreact” to something small.

Your brain isn’t broken; it’s protecting you.

The good news? The brain can heal.

The memory of the traumatic event is stored in the amygdala, which ensures you do not find yourself in this dangerous situation again. However, the amygdala doesn’t save the events as if it was a story- the amygdala saves the emotional significance of the traumatic events as experienced by our five senses.

Learning about the power of neuroplasticity through therapy, and practices such as EMDR,meditation, journaling, gratitude and ... can help you to process those unprocessed emotions and store those events and memories in a less triggering and harming form.

Staying connected and keeping the love alive requires work, repair, communication, willingness and openness to change, vulnerability, courage to accept challenges... “for a lantern to stay on, you need to add oil in it”.

Love map: A Love Map is essentially the mental and emotional map you have of your partner’s world — the details that make them who they are.

Nurture fondness & admiration: focusing on what you appreciate, respect, and love about your partner, even during conflict or stress.

Turn towards each other instead of away: Each time you turn toward your partner — even in small moments, you make a micro-deposit into your emotional bank account, strengthening trust and connection.

Let your partner influence you: Healthy relationships aren’t about keeping score or dominating decisions. Instead, partners respect each other’s opinions, feelings, and perspectives, and allow these to shape their own choices.

Solve your solvable problem: focuses on handling the day-to-day disagreements that can be fixed, rather than getting stuck in endless arguments.

Overcome Gridlock: Gridlock happens when couples have persistent, unsolved conflicts that feel impossible to resolve. These usually revolve around deeply personal dreams, values, or life goals.

Create shared meaning: This principle is about building a life together that feels purposeful and meaningful for both partners, beyond just managing day-to-day logistics.

Rather than strive to be right, strive to make things right.
