Sex advice with Suzi Godson: My husband just isn’t interested in sex

Withholding sex in a marriage is often an attempt to communicate anger or hurt, says Suzi Godson.

Q. You always hear about women not wanting sex in long-term relationships, but what if it is the other way round? My husband of 10 years has become less and less intimate and isn’t keen on sex any more. What can I do?

A. Any relationship counsellor will tell you that sexlessness is rarely anything to do with sex itself. Instead, it is almost always a sign that there are unresolved issues in the relationship.
