ABOUT OUR LOW/HIGH DESIRE AND AROUSAL ISSUES THERAPY IN WASHINGTON

WHAT IS UNMATCHED SEXUALITY OR DESIRE DISCREPANCY?


You may be experiencing unmatched sexuality when you and/or your partner(s) feel as if you are not on the same page sexually. Perhaps one of you desires sex and sexual interactions more frequently than you or your other partners. Frustration can quickly seep in with desire discrepancy–frustration for feeling out of sync with your partner(s) and frustration for feeling as if your libido is playing tricks on you. It could also be the other way around: Perhaps you are suddenly feeling a high libido and are discouraged that your partner does not return the excitement.

 

At some point in their relationship, many couples will experience arousal issues and desire discrepancy and a Respark therapist can guide you through these moments. Our highly-trained professionals discuss the conflict in arousal issues all the time, so know you are not alone. Unmatched sexuality is common for individuals and relationships at all stages. We are here to help find beauty in the balance and assist in creating the relationship you want with your partner(s). 

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED UNMATCHED SEXUALITY THERAPY?


Unmatched sexuality therapy is for those who want sex more often than their partner(s), those who want sex less often than their partner(s), those who have experienced a change in libido and usual arousal, and those feeling a sudden total lack of sexual arousal or desire. Unmatched Sexuality Therapy is your time to discover and voice sexual boundaries you might not have needed earlier in life, that have changed over time and through relationships, and personal desires and needs when it comes to sexual interactions. Unmatched Sexuality Therapy is for those struggling with any arousal issues, desire discrepancy, or libido problems. Remember, there is no “normal” when it comes to sexuality, so stop trying to measure it. Meet your desired discrepancy with compassion and understanding.

Just want a therapist that is knowledgeable and affirming?

Many of our couples and relationship clients come to Respark because they are having desire and arousal issues. This is a very common issue between couples as arousal doesn’t always match perfectly. Most of our clients seeking help with their arousal issues need a therapist that won’t judge or maybe a therapist that just “gets it.” Respark Therapists have some of the most advanced, up to date training specifically in sexual arousal and desire issues and general mental health issues. We’re here to help normalize your experience and remind you that you are not alone. Together, we will navigate these issues as a couple and help to make a change.

common reasons to go to unmatched sexuality therapy

This is a very common issue that couples come to Respark Therapy for. Couples conflict in sexual arousal and desire discrepancy all of the time, and you are not alone. We’re here to help.

  • Wanting less sex than your partner 
  • Wanting more sex than your partner
  • Not feeling aroused or experiencing low desire for your partner
  • Feeling frustrated about the disconnect with your partner
  • Feeling pressured to have sex because you know it’ll make your partner happy, even if you don’t feel in the mood 

Many couples at some point in their lives will experience a desire discrepancy or difference about how much sexual activity they are engaging in. Ask yourself:

  • Do you or your partner want sex more often than you do?
  • Or does your partner want less sex than you do?
  • Do you feel like you’ve lost the spark or your libido/desire?

do i need to be in a couple to attend unmatched sexuality therapy?

 

You do not need to be a part of a couple in order to attend any sex therapy practice, including unmatched sexuality therapy. If you are someone who thrives on casually dating, but suddenly loses sexual interest then desire discrepancy therapy could be for you. If you feel like your libido changes daily, regardless of relationship status, unmatched sexuality therapy could be beneficial to you as well!
