Ep. 136: The Problem With Sex
Guest: Maureen McGrath, "sexpert"
Sex is one of the most contentious issues in relationships.
That is according to "sexpert" Maureen McGrath. She says, "Many couples go months, if not years, without sex. For some, this works because it's what both partners want but the problem arises when one partner wants sex and the other doesn't."
The reasons are many and they range from sex being taboo to the disruptive nature of technology, body image challenges, recreational use of erectile drugs, porn, boredom – and that's just the start of it.
McGrath works with people to help them with help they need because as she points out, "Sex is still a very much a taboo subject. And people are not comfortable talking about it. They'll sneak about because they were raised with guilt or embarrassment or shame around sex. Or a lack of appropriate education."
