Understanding the Impact of Sexual Crisis on Self-Exploration
Many individuals enter a phase of self-reflection in their sexual journey only after encountering a crisis or experiencing profound shame in their sexual lives. This trend, observed frequently in therapy, reveals the lack of proper sexual education people receive. The expectation for perfect sexual intimacy post-marriage often leads to issues like desire discrepancies or infidelity. Embracing moments of crisis can be a gateway to broader healing and personal growth, highlighting the need for a more holistic approach to sexual development.
