To mark 50,000 subscribers, I went through your comments and answered 30 real questions from husbands and wives: sexless marriage, desire, rejection, menopause, porn, attraction, pressure, and whether intimacy can actually come back.
I've alternated them, one from a man, one from a woman, to show both sides of the story.

A note before you watch: these are short answers to big questions, based on the little I know from each comment. They are not individual therapy, and they are not advice for abusive or coercive relationships.
Thank you for 50,000. It's beyond anything I imagined when we started.
