Tammy Nelson Erotic Recovery After Infidelity Restoring the Sexual AMERICAN ACADEMY OF CLINICAL SEXOLOGISTS EROTIC RECOVERY AFTER INFIDELITY: RESTORING THE SEXUAL TEMPLATE THROUGH SEX THERAPY A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF CLINICAL SEXOLOGISTS IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN CLINICAL SEXOLOGY BY TAMMY NELSON ORLANDO, FLORIDA JANUARY 2010 i To Bruce Hirshfield, my husband, for his perpetual love, support and understanding. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS To Jette Simon, for teaching me that I could be a relationship therapist, and showing me I could have a better relationship. To Dr Gina Ogden, who showed me how to be a sex therapist, researcher and a writer, before we ever met. To Dr. William Granzig who believed in me, and encouraged me to finish what I wasn’t sure I could. iii ABSTRACT Infidelity damages the sexual template and recovery from the trauma of an affair can be difficult to repair. Sex therapy can help couples recover their sexual relationship after infidelity. Through erotological recovery, sex therapy can restore the desire phase of the relationship. This may also affect the emotional recovery of the partnership after an affair. Affairs happen for many reasons. Infidelity does not always have to mean the end of a relationship. If the couple chooses to stay together, restoring the sexual template can even lead to an improvement of their erotic life. This can no only improve their relationship, but prevent infidelity in the future. Sex therapists and sexologists can focus on restoring relationships despite infidelity using sexual template recovery and erotic methodology designed to reconnect the couple. A damaged relationship can recover and be repaired, becoming stronger, more erotically connected and renewed after infidelity. iv CONTENTS ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... iv CONTENTS .................................................................................................................................... v PROBLEM STATEMENT ............................................................................................................. 7 CHAPTERS: 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................................... 8 2 LITERATURE REVIEW .............................................................................................................

  • Recovery from Infidelity
    Recovery from Infidelity Paul David, Ph.D. “The infidelity is not in the sex... but in the secrecy. It isn’t whom you lie with. It’s whom you lie to.” Frank Pittman Private Lies After the devastating discovery of infidelity, intense emotions and recurrent crises are the norm in intimate relationships. The good news is that the majority of couples cannot only survive infidelity, but as researcher John Gottman (2012) has found, many couples can recover and develop stronger relationships as a result of therapy. Infidelity is one of the primary reasons couples seek therapeutic help (Subotnik & Harris, 2005). A striking paradox is that while studies of married people indicate that the vast majority disapprove of infidelity, studies also show that that approximately 25% of wives and 50% of husbands had experienced extramarital intercourse (Glass, 2003). When emotional affairs and sexual intimacies without intercourse are included, the incidence of infidelity increases by approximately 15-20% for married people (Glass, 2003). Furthermore, when the higher levels of infidelity in cohabiting and other committed relationships are taken into consideration (Hertlein, Wetchler, & Piercy, 2005), a conservative estimate is that approximately 75% of these couples will break their agreement for sexual or emotional exclusivity during the lifetime of their relationship. Definitions Historically, infidelity was defined as violating an agreement of sexual exclusivity between partners married, cohabiting, or otherwise in a committed relationship (Hertlein, Wetchler, & Piercy, 2005). More recently, the definition of infidelity has expanded beyond the criterion of sexual intercourse to include such behaviors as cybersex, sexting, compulsive use of pornography, physical intimacy (such as kissing), and emotional intimacy with another person outside of the primary relationship.

  • When Tongzhi Marry: Experiments of Cooperative Marriage Between Lalas and Gay Men in Urban China
    winner of the 2018 Feminist studies Graduate Student award Stephanie YingYi Wang When Tongzhi Marry: Experiments of Cooperative Marriage between Lalas and Gay Men in Urban China Ang Lee’s fiLm The Wedding BanqueT could be classic introductory material for tongzhi studies and, particularly, for research on cooper- ative marriage.1 In the film, Wai-Tung, a Taiwanese landlord who lives happily with his American boyfriend Simon in New York, is troubled by his parents’ constant efforts to try and find him a bride. His partner Simon suggests he could arrange a marriage of convenience with Wai- Tung’s tenant Wei Wei who is from mainland China and is also in need of a green card to stay in the United States. However, their plan back- fires when Wai-Tung’s enthusiastic parents arrive in the United States and plan a big wedding banquet. As the film critic and scholar Chris 1. Tongzhi, literally “same purpose,” is the Chinese term for “comrade.” Since the 1990s, it has been appropriated to replace the more formal tóngxìnglìan (same-sex love) to refer to gay men and lalas (same-sex desiring women) in the Chinese-speaking world. The translation of xinghun as “cooperative marriage” is debatable, as xinghun literally means “pro-forma marriage.” In other works, “contract marriage,” “fake marriage,” or “pro-forma marriage” are used to refer to gay-lala marriage. Informed by Lucetta Kam’s work, I use “cooperative mar- riage” to highlight that such marriage is not merely functional without sus- tenance, but is contingent on the cooperation and negotiation between mul- tiple parties in the relationship, as my findings suggest.

  • Consensual Nonmonogamy: When Is It Right for Your Clients?
    Consensual Nonmonogamy: When Is It Right for Your Clients? By Margaret Nichols Psychotherapy Networker January/February 2018 You’ve been seeing the couple sitting across from you for a little more than six months. They’ve had a sexless marriage for many years, and Joyce, the wife, is at the end of her rope. Her husband, Alex, has little or no sex drive. There’s no medical reason for this; he’s just never really been interested in sex. After years of feeling neglected, Joyce recently had an aair, with Alex’s blessing. This experience convinced her that she could no longer live without sex, so when the aair ended, the marriage was in crisis. “I love Alex,” Joyce said, “but now that I know what it’s like to be desired by someone, not to mention how good sex is, I’m not willing to give it up for the rest of my life.” Divorce would’ve been the straightforward solution, except that, aside from the issue of sex, they both agree they have a loving, meaningful, and satisfying life together as coparents, best friends, and members of a large community of friends and neighbors. They want to stay together, but after six months of failed therapeutic interventions, including sensate-focus exercises and Gottman-method interventions to break perpetual-problem gridlock, they’re at the point of separating. As their therapist, what do you do? • Help them consciously uncouple • Refer them to an EFT therapist to help them further explore their attachment issues • Advise a temporary separation, reasoning that with some space apart they can work on their sexual problems • Suggest they consider polyamory and help them accept Alex’s asexuality.

  • Your Marriage Can Survive an Affair
    Your marriage can survive an affair: As previously published in the Stillwater Gazette Dear Dr. Bill, I cannot believe I am writing this letter. Two weeks ago, I discovered suspicious looking e-mails written by my wife to a man at her work. What I found were dozens and dozens of love letters, many containing very explicit sexual content. Yes, my wife had been having an affair with a guy at work for almost a year. She says she is very sorry and has ended the relationship. I am devastated, angry and afraid. I can’t imagine ever feeling secure in this relationship again. We have two beautiful children. Can we ever get past this? Signed: Devastated. Dear Devastated: My heart goes out to you and your wife. An affair is a tsunami to a marriage. The damage is incomprehensible. While it will be hard work, the good news is that it has been estimated that two-thirds of marriages survive affairs. My guess is that of those that survive, far too many eventually sweep the affair under the rug and never really deal with it. Try not to make that mistake. Trust and affection can be restored. I think you have two major tasks. One is recovering from the affects of the affair and two is taking a hard look at your marriage itself. Be honest. How strong was your marriage before this happened? I would like to be very clear on one point. The state of your marriage prior to the affair does not justify your wife’s decision to have an affair.
