Desire Discrepancy is the dissatisfaction experienced when frustrations arise out of the amount and type of sex being had/not had.
This is one of the most common presenting issues for clients. The topic of sex becomes fraught and often there is little sexual activity and clients can report feeling broken. Its more complex than simply the amount of sex being had.
Often people wanting more sex are looked upon as selfish and deviant in some way.
Those with lower libidos are castigated and told they “should” feel like sex because “everybody else” does.
This workshop is designed to help practitioners work with individuals or couples facing the challenges of differences in sexual expectations, libido and desire.
