When sexual intercourse isn’t possible, what happens to your sexual intimacy?

For many couples, sexual intimacy comes down to one question: "Did we or didn’t we have sex?"

But intercourse is not the only way to create sexual closeness and connection.

Most couples don’t confront this until something changes:

• Pain during intercourse
• Pregnancy or perimenopause
• Aging, illness, or other health challenges

And if you’re not equipped to talk about it, the two of you can quickly feel disconnected.

In fact, 86% of you said one of these changes has impacted your sex life.

If pain, menopause, aging, illness, medication, or another life change has affected your sex life, this is a conversation worth having together.
