The Couples Desire Study

We are inviting couples who experience some distress related to different levels of sexual desire (sexual desire discrepancy) to participate in an 8-week online sex therapy and education program.

What is involved?

Couples will take part in a brief Zoom interview, 8 weekly online sessions with a therapist and homework (or self-guided modules), and will complete questionnaires.

Who can participate?

  • Couples
  • You and your partner have been together for 1 year or more
  • You both are 19 years or older
  • You and your partner have different levels of sexual desire, and this difference causes you some distress
  • You both are fluent in English
  • You both have stable internet and a device capable of running Zoom
  • You both are willing to participate in 8 weekly online treatment sessions
  • Neither you nor your partner is starting or receiving sex therapy for sexual desire discrepancy
