In this episode of “Ask a Mormon Sex Therapist” Brian talks with  Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife about how the high desire partner can best contribute to a relationship that is sexually dysfunctional but also in the process of healing (hint: not necessarily just being patient), the second question is about male ownership of sexual desire (when you want it but you don’t openly acknowledge and express your sexual desire for your wife).
