My wife over the past year or so has been totally disinterested in having sex with me or doing anything sexual in nature. She has extreme anxiety over it and says it really hurts when we do have sex. What can I do to help our situation? She feels really bad about it and I don’t want her to feel that way.
Why Sexual Desire Can Fade
Lack of sexual desire shows up in almost all relationships at one point or another. There could be many reasons for a lack of sexual desire. It could result from a major life change (like having a child or the loss of a parent), it could be due to difficulties within the relationship, or something medical could be going on.

Here at Insight Psychological, we have three practising sex therapists, one of whom is the only certified sex therapist in Alberta. The therapists at Insight Psychological are highly trained in sex therapy. You and your wife may find it beneficial to come in and speak to someone. Sex and intimacy desires put a lot of strain on the relationship, and I’m sure this is causing a lot of stress for both you and your wife.
