Phoenix, AZ -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2016 -- Understanding the ebb and flo of sex and desire is challenging to most individuals in relationships. Fueled by self-doubt or what seems as a confusing message, people often blame themselves when a partner appears distant or withdrawn. The feelings of insecurities prompt questions like, "is something wrong", "are you okay" and "have I done something wrong". When the response is less then reassuring, more fearful questions are ask "is there someone else or do you still love me."

When physical touch, intimate desire and sex ebbs in a relationship the partner experiences abandonment and loss unless there are significant reasons like medical issues or other factors. Many times the ebb and flo is simply a process of growth and change in the relationship, understanding and accepting this is the challenge. All of this speaks to the significance of physical touch and its ability to reassure, comfort and maintain an intimate relationship.
