Challenges and Layers of Complexity
Sexless marriages can stem from various factors such as trauma, broken trust, pornography struggles, and negative perceptions of sex. Couples dealing with sexless marriages face deep emotional and physical barriers that need to be addressed for intimacy to be restored.
Healing and Transformation Journey
Addressing a sexless marriage involves a holistic approach that includes physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects. By redefining safe touch through gradual steps like the Sensei Focus system, couples can rebuild trust, enhance intimacy, and experience a transformation that extends beyond physical connection.
