If you feel like you have low desire, stop scrolling and ask yourself this very important question. Is the sex that I'm having worth craving? Hey there. I'm Vanessa Marin. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist and the author of this New York Times best selling book. So low desire is one of the number one complaints that I hear about. And it's very easy for people to think like something is wrong with them or they're broken in some way if they don't want sex all of the time. But on page 118 of this book, I talk about something extremely important. The enjoyment, desire, connection. If you are not enjoying the sex that you're having, you are not going to crave it. It wouldn't make any sense to like think about a food that you don't enjoy. Do you ever crave that food? Of course not. Do you ever think that something is wrong with you or you're broken in some way if you don't crave the food that you don't enjoy? Of course not. And let's get real. So many of us are having sex that is not particularly enjoyable, not particularly pleasurable, not particularly craveable. So the problem isn't that something is horribly wrong with you or that you're broken. It's that you may need to take a look at the quality of the sex that you're having.
