Talk Summary: A Case to Put Out
What do you do when your partner wants to have sex but you don’t feel like it? Or vice-a-versa? This extremely common problem of mismatched libidos is also fairly serious. If it isn’t addressed it can and does lead to sexual and relationship dissatisfaction, break-ups, and divorce. Most of us make the decision about whether or not to have sex based on how we feel and/or what our genitals are doing. However, this may not actually be the most prudent criteria to make this decision. In fact, if we were to use science to help us make this decision – just like we do in all other areas of our lives like our work, exercise, and nutrition – you would use a completely different set of criteria to make this decision for the betterment of your health, well-being, and of course for your relationship.
