Talking to your partner openly about your desires and needs can be beneficial in finding a satisfying middle ground. It’s important that your partner understands why you want more sex and how it could improve your relationship, as well as expressing any physical or emotional changes that you've experienced. Listening to any concerns they may have is vital —address their fears and be accommodating if you're looking for ways to get them on board. Finally, don’t forget to nurture the relationship through connection, laughter and compassion so that there is a desire for physical intimacy out of deep love, not just sexual need.

One key thing to remember is that your partner’s lack of interest in sex could be indicative of a larger issue, so it’s important to have an open and honest conversation about what is causing this lack of interest. That being said, there are some tips you can use to try to rekindle the intimacy.

The first step you should take is make sure that both parties feel comfortable talking about sex. Open communication between you and your partner can help improve any sexual issues you may have.

To encourage more sexual activity, start by making sure there are ample opportunities for physical contact—things like holding hands in public or simply cuddling on the couch. This increases comfort with physical intimacy.

You should also try initiating fun activities together, like watching an adult movie or playing a sex-related board game—and maybe even doing something slightly risky together in bed.

It might also be useful to bring up fantasies and playfully act them out; often we have secret desires that we don’t want to admit. In general it just helps enhance the overall experience emotionally—and then usually physically follows suit!
