Jung Faces Common Marital Dilemma in “A Dangerous Method”

The new movie, “A Dangerous Method,” confronts an issue that many married couples face. In the David Cronenberg movie, Carl Jung is forced to choose between living an honest, yet unfulfilled life, with his wife; and indulging in his deepest, most passionate desires with a mistress. Today’s modern couples often struggle with the same dilemma. The majority of people have a difficult time reconciling the fact that the stable, secure person with whom they have raised a family and built a solid life can still be the person who fulfills their wildest fantasies. In a recent article, Craig Malkin, Ph.D., …(See More)

How to Tell Your Partner Your Sexual Fantasies

Variety is the spice of life, or so the saying goes. But for many couples, variety is practically non-existent in their bedrooms. “Most everyone has some type of secret fantasy, fetish, or kinky desire. They have something in the back of their mind (or tucked in the back of a closet) that they are just dying to share with the right partner,” says Jeremy Nicholson, doctor of social and personality psychology and author of a recent article explaining how to share your fantasies with your partner. “But, bringing up the topic with a date or mate can be difficult.” Nicholson …(See More)

The Truth about Sexual Healing

Living with chronic pain can make everyday tasks difficult. For couples, chronic pain can cause intimacy problems as well. But research suggests that physical touch and sexual intimacy actually release hormones that help us feel better and relieve our pain. “The typical message is that intimacy is challenging and uncomfortable but ultimately worth it for the sake of the relationship,” said Deborah Barrett, Ph.D., and clinical associate professor at the School of Social Work at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “However, this advice neglects evidence that sexual intimacy may reduce pain which means that chronic pain may …(See More)

When Men Cheat During a Recession, Blame it on Biology

According to Omri Gillath, a professor of social psychology at the University of Kansas, men feel the urge to mate when they are confronted with a threatening situation. In light of the country’s current economic condition, Gillath says that more men may feel that the only way to ensure their survival is to procreate, or at least try. “We’re biologically wired to reproduce, and the environment tells us that is the best strategy to use to make sure our genes are passed on,” said Gillath in a recent article. “If you think you might die soon, there’s a huge advantage …(See More)

Is Cuddling More Important than Sex?

Cuddling and intimacy are both important to overall sexual satisfaction. But a recent study suggests that in long-term couples, cuddling and kissing increase the overall sexual satisfaction of each partner. Researchers looked at over 1,000 couples from five different countries, including the United States, and discovered that although men are quicker to admit their happiness in the relationship, both men and women reported high sexual satisfaction when they engaged in regular cuddling, kissing and sexual touching. The study also showed that women enjoyed more sexual satisfaction the longer they were with their partner. All the participants in the study reported …(See More)

Sharing Your Deepest Sexual Desires Leads to Stronger, More Intimate Relationships

Men and women both harbor fears of being completely truthful in their sexual desires with their partner. But in a recent article, clinical sexologist, Dr. Charley Ferrer, says that partners must overcome their fears in order to achieve ultimate intimacy. She says, “Often women will deny themselves their true sexual desires and become unable to derive intimate pleasure from their relationships because they fear being judged and subsequently rejected by their partner once they reveal their naughty thoughts.  Ironically, men experience the same doubts and fears.  And yet, it is these same fears that prevent the intimacy you desire most …(See More)

Marriages Lacking Sex – Can they be Re-Ignited?

Many people live in sexless marriages. Couples who may be deeply in love with each other and appear to be happily married on the outside may be living a lackluster romantic life on the inside. Frances Cohen Praver, Ph.D, uses her experience as a clinical psychologist to shed some light on this frustrating issue in a recent article. Praver explains that this type of relationship is not uncommon and is a result of years of poor and painful communication. Praver says, “That’s because the ongoing hurts, the insults, the disappointments have become entrenched in your brains. When two people are …(See More)
