THOUGHTS ABOUT MY TEDx Talk: The Sex-Starved Marriage

This video is about my first thoughts about my TEDx Talk on "The Sex-Starved Marriage." I wrote a book with the same title.
Before I gave my TEDx Talk in April 2014, I talked about a few thoughts I wanted to express.

Michele Weiner-Davis, MSW is an internationally renowned relationship expert, best-selling author, marriage therapist, and professional speaker who specializes in helping people change their lives and improve important relationships. Among the first in her field to courageously speak out about the pitfalls of unnecessary divorce, Michele has been active in spearheading the now popular movement urging couples to make their marriages work and keep their families together. She is the author of seven books including her best-selling books, DIVORCE BUSTING: A Step-by-Step Approach to Making Your Marriage Loving Again (Simon & Schuster), and THE SEX-STARVED MARRIAGE: A Couple's Guide to Boosting Their Marriage Libido (Simon & Schuster).

Michele's work is highly regarded in professional circles. She was the recipient of The American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy's prestigious Outstanding Contribution to the Field of Marriage and Therapy Award and Smart Marriages' Impact Award.
Michele's work has been featured in major newspapers such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, and magazines such as Time, Redbook, Ladies Home Journal, Essence, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Woman's Day, Men's Health, New Woman, and McCall's. She has made countless media appearances on shows such as Oprah, 48 Hours, 20/20, The Today Show, CBS This Morning, CBS Evening News, CNN, and Bill O'Reilly. Michele's Keeping Love Alive program aired on PBS stations nationwide. She recently completed a reality based show for the BBC about helping couples save their marriages.

Michele maintains that her true expertise in helping couples have great relationships is derived from first-hand experience. She and her husband have been married for more than thirty-five years.

My future ex wife does not even want to watch this video (or the TEDx Talk).

1 bet its more than 50%. I almost went crazy with it because I was an emotionally abandoned child. Emotional abandonment in childhood is an epidemic. Therefore I bet sexless marriages are way more than 50%, maybe 75% or more. Lack of intimacy is the worst thing that can happen in a marriage. The other one has toral power to ruin your life and as a result your relationship with your children because the only thing you want in life is to get your spouse to be there with you.

What is wrong with some people....no intimacy, sexless marriages, ....heck some people don't even know how to 'make out' anymore!!
I feel bad for the partner that is in a sexless marriage, it is a fraudulent marriage!
How about a sex surrogate?
Cheers!!
