Spring Series: When Passion Dies While Love Survives—A Discussion Group for Gay Men

Session One [February 9th, 2019] — What Causes Passion?
What causes the “rush” (both sexual and emotional) at the start of a relationship? Is it inevitable that the passion will wane and/or die? How do you know at the beginning of a relationship if sex is inevitably doomed? What causes passion to taper over time?

Session Two [March 9th, 2019] — Can Bed Death Be Prevented or Reversed?
What might a couple do to avoid loss of passion? Once passion is gone, can it be restored? How? Are there ways to prevent bed death even before you meet the man of your dreams?

Session Three [April 13th, 2019] — Open Relationships as a Solution for Bed Death?
Are outside sexual encounters an answer to loss of eroticism in a relationship? Are there different kinds of open relationships…and does that matter? Is it possible, and if so, how is it possible to have sexual openness and maintain the integrity of the primary relationship?

Session Four [New: May 4th, 2019 - DATE CHANGED] — Marriage Sabbaticals: Avoiding Divorce When Passion is Gone
Is lack of sex a good reason to divorce? Is separation a solution to the eroticism problem in relationships? How does one do a sabbatical as opposed to a separation or divorce? What does a sabbatical look like, and what are the possible outcomes?
