For one, you and your partner may have different sexual experience levels. When your partner has less sexual experience than you do, they may feel insecure, inferior, or self-conscious.

Couples therapy with our intimacy and sex specialists in Palm Bay, Florida can help you gain proper sexual health education.
So, in couples therapy with an intimacy specialist on our team, you can develop a better understanding of how to pleasure the female body. To note, the female body requires about 45 to 90 minutes to reach the same level of sexual arousal as the male body reaches in about 5 to 8 minutes.
This means that a male may be ready to have sex in about five minutes, when a female is not even aroused sexually. One common reason a female turns down and rejects her male partner is because of a lack of foreplay. If a female feels used, obligated to perform, or like sex is a chore, this will dampen your sex drive. A female will often times not want to have sex all together. And, you will end up in a sexless marriage when this is the case.
At Wisdom Within Counseling, we are a team of couples therapists and sex specialists who offer intimacy counseling in Palm Bay, Florida who offer sex positive education on the female pleasure and orgasmic system
To note, the female body requires caressing, massage, and even emotional communication to become aroused. For many females, feeling emotionally safe and building emotional intimacy are important steps before sexual arousal begins.

As well, get a timer out and start to look at how long foreplay really is for you. The female body requires 45 to 90 minutes of foreplay before penetrative sex should ever be considered.
Building longer and more adequate foreplay can provide more pleasure for a female partner, which can improve your sex life.
More so, making sex more pleasurable can promote more sexual desire in a female. As a result of more foreplay, anticipation, sexual excitement, and suspense increase. Foreplay can also help a female in feeling wanted and valued.
Did you know that feeling wanted, important, connected, and valued is a huge part of building excitement and rekindling sexual desire?
