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 can feel good again — with the right support.
You are in the right place if you are:
- Tired of feeling broken, pressured, rejected, or disconnected
- Frustrated that one person always wants sex more than the other
- Worried your desire differences mean you’re incompatible
- Stuck overthinking sex or avoiding it
- Disappointed that hormones didn’t help (that’s super common)
- Wondering if ADHD is affecting your desire
Here’s what most people don’t know about desire gaps:
- They affect 80% of couples—you’re not alone
- Without the right approach, nearly all gaps get worse
- They are a leading cause of divorce
- Most therapists lack specialized training in desire issues
- Medical providers can’t address the emotional and relational aspects
- Hormone prescriptions rarely solve it
- 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.
I help couples close the desire gap through The Desire Gap Bridge™ Method—a somatic, body-based approach that gets you out of your head and into connection.
The Desire Gap Bridge™ Method:
- Works with both partners equally—no blame, no shame, no pressure
- Uses proven, body-based techniques (somatics, not just talk therapy)
- Gets you on the same team quickly

- Gives you the intimacy and communication skills you were never taught
I’ve helped hundreds of individuals and couples transform desire differences from a source of pain into opportunities for deeper intimacy. I also train therapists and coaches who want to better serve their clients with desire issues.

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
