#107: Q&A: Mismatched Libido & Anxious-Avoidant Sexual Dynamics
About this episode
Mismatched libido in a relationship is a challenge that a lot of couples face. In today’s episode, I’ll be answering a listener's question of how to navigate mismatched libido in a relationship, particularly in an anxious-avoidant dynamic. I’ll guide you on strategies to break the anxious-avoidant spiral, by initiating open dialogue and finding a middle ground between both partners.
We’ll cover:
- Why it's unrealistic to expect your libidos to be in sync all the time
- How anxious and avoidant attachment styles relate to sex and intimacy
- Tips for reframing a partner's lack of interest in sex
