How do you even bring this up?
A free guide for couples when something’s changed in the bedroom: plain words for what’s changing, lines you can borrow to start the conversation, and what can help when you’re ready.
Read it on your own first, or read it together. Either way, the first conversation gets a little easier.
Something has changed, and you don’t know how to say it.
These are some of the most common things we hear, from people in brand-new relationships and people who’ve been together for decades.
- I don’t know how to tell my partner what’s going on.
- I’m worried they’ll think it’s about them.
- Every time I start to bring it up, I change the subject.
- We love each other, but we’ve drifted, and nobody’s saying it out loud.
Five short sections.
What’s changing
Plain words for what men, women, and couples often notice in midlife, and why it happens.
How to bring it up
Lines you can borrow, a simple plan for the talk, what to do if your partner brings it up, and a few things worth remembering.
The treatments, in plain words
GAINSWave®, the P-Shot®, the O-Shot®, and other tools: what each one is and what a visit is like.
Which concern, which conversation
A simple chart that matches what you’ve noticed with where we often start, plus questions to ask any provider.
Better together
Why many patients combine treatments, and how couples are welcome.
About ten minutes, three steps.
1. Put words to what you’ve noticed
The first section explains what’s changing in plain language. Mark anything that sounds familiar.
2. Plan the conversation
The second section has lines you can borrow and a simple before, during, and after.
3. Bring your questions to us
Start with a free conversation. Partners are welcome.
Do not change or stop prescribed therapy without discussing it with your clinician.
Sexual health is health.
And it deserves a conversation without embarrassment.
Many people wait years to bring this up, or never do, because they don’t know how to start. This guide gives you the words, so the first conversation feels easier, at home and with a provider.
