    The Sexual Playground for Issues of Sexual Desire Discrepancy

    This episode creates the understanding, language, and “way out” for couples stuck in issues of sexual desire discrepancy. Dr. Hughes is the first to put forward clear and concrete words, understanding, and ways to move forward for couples plagued by these discrepancies. Dr. Hughes has created a sexual playground analogy that enables couples to do this. The higher desire partner yearns for their partner to play on this sexual playground with them. Playing on the playground isn’t just doing sexual acts. It’s not about sex. It’s about the meaning of sex. It’s about the engagement and desire to play on the playground with the higher desire partner. Dr. Hughes provides examples of how the lower desire partner can still help the higher desire partner feel accepted, connected, seen, and loved while not dramatically increasing intercourse or varied sexual activity. These examples also help the higher desire partner find ways to play on their sexual playground with their partner in ways where they are no longer alone while also respecting the difference in their partner.
