In this video we go after one of the most damaging traps in a sexless marriage: duty sex, or \"pity sex.\" The flat, going-through-the-motions intimacy a lot of men accept because they tell themselves \"at least it's something.\" Here's the hard truth: that \"something\" may be doing more damage to your self-esteem than getting nothing at all, and I'll show you exactly why, and what to do about it.
