When a desire gap is destroying your connection

You're not broken or wrong for wanting more or less sex than your partner. Your relationship isn't doomed—but you do need the right approach to bridge the gap.
You’ve come to the right place if you’re:
- Tired of feeling broken, pressured, rejected, or disconnected
- Frustrated that one person always wants sex more than the other
- Disappointed that hormones didn’t help (that’s completely normal)
- Worried your desire differences mean you’re incompatible
- Stuck overthinking sex instead of enjoying it
- Wondering if ADHD is affecting your desire
- Ready to work on this even if your partner isn’t
- Not ready to give up on your relationship
Here’s what most people don’t know about desire gaps:
- They affect 80% of couples—you’re not alone
- Most therapists lack specialized training in desire issues
- Medical providers can’t address the emotional and relational aspects
- Hormones rarely solve it (and that’s completely normal)
- Gaps lead to major relationship ruptures without intervention—but with the right help, these issues are highly solvable.
- Even one partner making changes can transform the entire dynamic
That’s exactly why desire coaching exists. I work with individuals and couples to close the desire gap—even when only one person is ready to start.
I’m Dr. Laura Jurgens, Desire and Arousal specialist and host of The Desire Gap Podcast.

Here's What Becomes Possible When You Close the Desire Gap
“When I started with Laura, I did not have a sex drive and was feeling less like a woman each day. After just 3 months, my sex drive was increasing and communication between my husband and I was much better. My husband also started seeing Laura—our marriage is better because we found Laura.” – Randi
“We weren’t having sex at all when we started—just years of obligation, resentment, and distance. After working with Laura, I feel like we’re embarking on a long, extended honeymoon. I’m 57, Brooke’s 63, we’ve been married 12 years, and I feel more hopeful about our future than ever.” – Christina
