While many couples may experience sexual difficulties, it doesn’t mean there isn’t hope. Problems with intimacy can unfortunately cause feelings of fear, disappointment, and lowered self esteem. But by working together to communicate effectively and work towards a solution, any couple can overcome sexual pressures or problems.

One topic discussed in Sex Without Stress is individual differences, such as in sexual styles or desires. Not only is it important to understand each other, but also yourselves, while simultaneously upholding accountability for improving intimacy. The author of this book, Jessa Zimmerman, is a couple’s counseling expert who offers accessible, practical, and thoughtful discussions for readers to take together as a couple.
