A quick heads-up: This is an open, mature conversation about sex and intimacy, and it includes some explicit language. It is focused on men's sexual health. How can a man bring up missing intimacy when conversations about sex keep ending in frustration? For men over 50, a sexless marriage can leave affection, confidence, and connection in question. Changing desire and unspoken resentment can make it difficult to understand what has happened between two people who once felt close.  Host Mike Capuzzi and midlife intimacy coach Karen Bigman explore how men can begin addressing that distance without turning the conversation into blame. Why Karen encourages couples to look beyond sexual frequency and examine the connection underneath.How expressing a desire for closeness can open a different conversation than complaining about missing sex.Why small, mutually welcome gestures of affection may offer a starting point without pressure to go further.About Karen Bigman Karen Bigman is a midlife intimacy coach and host of Taboo to Truth: Life and Sex After 50.
