When desire is missing
Sexual desire is not a fixed quantity. It fluctuates over a lifetime – with everyday life, with relationships and with our own bodies. Low desire is therefore not automatically a problem. What matters is whether the situation weighs on you and whether you would like to change something.
What can influence desire
Usually several factors come together. Common ones include:
From the Sexocorporel perspective, desire is closely linked to how we experience arousal and pleasure in our own bodies. When sex is not very pleasurable, it is understandable that motivation fades too. Desire can't be forced – but it can be rediscovered.
How sex therapy can help
Together we look at how your desire shows up, what nurtures it and what holds it back. Alongside conversation, support may include information about sexuality, awareness exercises or small experiments for everyday life.
You can come on your own or as a couple. Even if the topic shows up in your relationship, it can help to look at it for yourself first. Sessions take place fully clothed; there is no physical contact.
If physical causes such as hormonal changes or side effects of medication may be involved, I also recommend a medical check-up.
Frequently asked questions
Is it normal to have no desire for sex?
Yes, low or no desire is common – for a while or over a longer period. It becomes a problem when you or your relationship suffer because of it. Then it can be worth taking a closer look.
Can I come alone if it's about our relationship?
Yes. Many people start on their own and first clarify what they need. Later your partner can join if that feels right for both of you.
Do I have to talk about intimate details?
You decide what and how much you share. We go at your pace.
Is it covered by health insurance?
Sessions are generally not covered by basic health insurance. If you have supplementary insurance, it is worth checking in advance. A session costs CHF 150 (individual, 50 min) or CHF 225 (couple, 75 min); a reduced rate is available on request.
