Have you ever asked yourself why you fuck?

No, seriously…

Beyond the obvious pleasure, what’s the real reason that takes you to bed with your partner?

For many men, sex is like an emotional bridge. It’s through the physical act that they feel truly close to their partners. But what if that bridge collapses? What if, for some reason, sex is no longer an option?

You’re in a relationship for years. Everything seems fine, but suddenly, your partner is diagnosed with a disease that will drastically affect your sex life. How do you deal with that?

How do you maintain that connection when sex is no longer in the equation?

It’s a situation many couples face, sooner or later.

Whether due to illness, stress, or simply the passage of time, there comes a moment when sex might not be as frequent or even possible. And that’s when things get complicated.
