The couple is one primary unit which expresses social orientation. Women and men are social. Sexual attraction is only one aspect of the relationship. It increases the affection and intimacy of the relation. Successful sex is possible in case of very few couples. Another aspect of communication is your ability to communicate your needs and desires to your partner in a clear and self affirming way. This helps to make your relationship as both friends and lovers more successful. Communication is both ways, clearly expressing yourself and being able to listen caringly to your partner and understanding his or her needs and desires as well. We learn the skills of love and communication from our family unit. But the sexual habits are your personal and you don't discuss it with your partner. If there are conflicts on this issue they should be discussed immediately and solved.
Couple may be involved in each other intimately, but the sex may not be happy between them. This may be a result of communication gap. Counselor can discuss individually and collectively with couple to understand their problem. Once he know the causes, he will use his knowledge and give some suggestions to couple and then they will try it. With trial and error method and with improved communication between both partners sex can become happy thing for the couple.
If there are any physical problems because of sex, counselor may advise some medicines, tests. If the problem is only psychological, he can support the partner who is afraid of sex with the dialogue. Sometimes a partner is not willing to have sex because of some past memories, experience. In that case counselor will help to come out of the fear of sex.
