This is a subject that is mostly covered in anonymity and we felt it was important to bring it out into the open and put a face to it. \r\n\nSo what is a Sex Zombie?\r\n\nIt comes from the clinical term of dead bedroom, which is defined as 2 people in a relationship that have sex 10 or less times per year. In many circumstances, issues arise from the higher libido person in the relationship becoming all consumed looking for opportunities to have sex with the lower libido person, causing both physical and mental pain, and, often times, damaging the relationship beyond repair. \r\n\nIn this episode we discuss the signs you may be a Sex Zombie, how it affects your relationship, and some things you can do about it. \r\n\nIf you or someone you know is in a sexual, physical or emotionally abusive relationship, please seek appropriate help.\r\n\nCheck out the numerous resources listed below if you need help in your relationship. \r\n\nEpisode Highlights: \n0:49 Intro\r\n\n1:39 Definition of Sex Zombie\r\n\n2:38 Signs of sexless marriage/relationship from Melinda Fox\r\n\n3:10 Daava calls bullshit\r\n\n5:20 Signs of sexless marriage/relationship from Huff Post\r\n\n7:35 Daava's experience in sexless marriage\r\n\n9:10 Alena's experience with sexual incompatibility \r\n\n9:58 Get help\r\n\n11:33 Spontaneous Desire vs. Responsive Desire\r\n\n15:44 Asexuality\r\n\n16:57 Are you really communicating and getting at the root cause?\r\n\n20:50 Three choices in a dead bedroom\r\n\n23:15 Infidelity\r\n\n24:54 What to do if you're Sex Zombie\r\n\n29:24 Wrap up\r\n\n30:27 Bonus footage preview\r\n\n31:21 On the next Privilege With Purpose \r\n\n \r\n\nEpisode Links:\nPrivilege With Purpose\r\n\nContact Us: conversations@privilegewithpurpose.com\r\n\n7 signs of sexless marriage\r\n\n10 signs of sexless marriage\r\n\nAASECT\r\n\nEster Perel\r\n\nMichele Weiner-Davis Ted Talk\r\n\nWhen to Walk Away from a Sexless Marriage by Jessa Zimmerman\r\n\nTalkspace\r\n\nRegain\r\n\nThe Relationship Place\r\n\nLesli Doares\r\n\nVanessa Marin\r\n\nXplor Counseling\r\n\nDanielle Savory\r\n\nReddit Dead Bedroom Forum\r\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/02e40ff2-1563-41dc-9132-1b4f87f5c74a/untitled-design-3-yvhsda.jpg"}
