Esther Perel: 我认为,性亲密关系中的许多问题并非源于性不相容,而是源于沟通不畅和缺乏理解。在本次对话中,我与一对伴侣探讨了他们遇到的性问题。女方过去的创伤经历(强奸)严重影响了她的性感受和表达,导致她难以主动参与性生活,并对男方的主动行为产生抵触情绪。男方则感到困惑和沮丧,他需要理解女方的行为并非针对他个人,而是源于她的创伤经历。为了解决这个问题,我们需要重新定义性爱,它不仅仅是性交本身,而是一个持续的过程,需要双方共同参与和创造。我们需要放慢节奏,避免直接的性行为,从非性器官的亲密接触开始,慢慢培养和建立信任。双方都需要坦诚地表达自己的需求和感受,才能建立更亲密的联系。 为了帮助这对伴侣,我建议他们尝试一些新的方法,例如:女方主动引导男方,而非被动地等待或拒绝;双方可以尝试用书写的方式来表达自己的想法和感受;男方需要更加耐心,并学习如何更好地理解和回应女方的需求;双方需要重新定义性爱,它不仅仅是性交本身,更重要的是双方的情感交流和心灵沟通。 总而言之,性亲密关系的建立需要双方共同努力,坦诚沟通,互相理解,才能克服障碍,建立更和谐的关系。 男方: 我和女友的性生活质量很高,但频率较低,且女友常常不愿积极参与,这让我感到困惑和沮丧。尽管我已经尝试过沟通和改进,但问题仍然存在。性生活中,我一直是主动方,但女友的反应常常让我感到困惑和沮丧,这导致我逐渐失去耐心和兴趣。我希望我们的性生活能够更加自然和轻松,能够有更多的亲密接触和情感交流。我愿意尝试新的方法,例如:放慢节奏,避免直接的性行为,从非性器官的亲密接触开始;更加耐心,并学习如何更好地理解和回应女方的需求;坦诚地表达自己的需求和感受。 女方: 我过去的创伤经历(强奸)严重影响了我的性感受和表达,导致我难以主动参与性生活,并对男方的主动行为产生抵触情绪。向伴侣分享我的性幻想让我感到脆弱,但同时也让我感到更亲密和被理解。我仍然渴望与伴侣有亲密关系,只是表达方式需要改进。我愿意尝试新的方法,例如:主动引导男方,而非被动地等待或拒绝;用书写的方式来表达自己的想法和感受;坦诚地表达自己的需求和感受。

Shownotes Transcript

For the first time in an Esther Calling, Esther speaks to the partner of the caller from last week to hear his perspective on the story. Then, she does a session with the two of them as they detail how they feel stuck in their sexual pattern, where he always initiates, but when he initiates, she freezes. They try to figure out where they can go from here.

It's a place to continue conversations on important topics like sexlessness, infidelity or the perils of modern dating.
