Keeping Sex Alive in Lesbian Relationships
Dear Dr. Glenda: My partner and I are arguing a lot about our sex life. We don’t really have one, except maybe a couple times in the past year. She thinks we should work on this, but when I talk to my friends they aren’t having much sex either. Sex has never been that big […]
Lesbian Partner is Angry about Lack of Sex
Dear Dr. Corwin: My (lesbian) partner and I had a complete blowout last weekend, and now she says she’s done. She was angry because I’d just gotten back from a long trip, and for the first 24 hours I was home I just was into settling back, catching up on work, enjoying being home–but she […]
Is it Anti-Feminist for a Lesbian to Initiate Sex?
What’s a very common refrain you hear when you ask a lesbian about her sex life? “Once we get started, I love it!” Actually, you hear a version of that about a lot of things, not just sex. “I didn’t want to go to that party, but once I got there I had a great […]
Are You Worried About the ‘Other Woman’?
Lesbian relationship and sex expert Dr. Glenda Corwin answers our questions! Dear Dr. Glenda, My partner has been spending a lot of time with a recent female acquaintance who shares common career and social interests. They meet at least weekly for lunch or coffee, and often talk on the phone or text. I’ve never had […]
I’m Just Not Attracted to You
Here’s something that doesn’t need to be said: I’m just not attracted to you. Recently “Sally & Sue” came in to talk because they hadn’t had sex in several months. Sally was very upset about it. She missed the warmth and intimacy of their early relationship, but was afraid that Sue had shut down permanently. […]
Does She Still Want Me?
Lesbian relationship and sex expert Dr. Glenda Corwin answers our questions! Dear Dr. Glenda, Last night I got an email from a woman I was crazy about last year. I don’t know how to respond. Last year she said I was too clingy, and then she just stopped calling me back. I’ve worked hard to […]
Let’s Talk about Sex and Orgasms
One morning in my office a woman told me her biggest fear about beginning to date again was about sex; specifically, how to deal with the fact that orgasm had been so difficult with her last partner, and she just didn’t want to go through that again. That afternoon, another woman told me that she’d […]
Being Loving Creates More Love
Recently I attended a couples’ therapy training program, which was terrific–research-based, positive, practical. And unexpectedly depressing, as they showed videos of elderly heterosexual couples holding hands and talking tenderly about their 50-70 years of wedded bliss. How many us can identify? Never mind the sexual orientation–how many of us have that many years in that […]
Is Lesbian Bed Death Inevitable? We Think Not
Seven years ago a young woman came to my office for consultation about a very specific question. She asked “Do you think lesbian bed death is inevitable?” Her story was sadly familiar. She had been living with her partner for 12 years, the past 5 without sex. She was unhappy about this, but her partner […]
I Wish I Could Quit You
It’s a great time of year for reflecting on what works well in your life and what doesn’t. What to continue, or quit doing? Some things seem obvious—addictive drinking, smoking, and eating are all bad for your health, so it would be good to quit. It’s just hard to do. At least you can know […]
