Irrespective of gender, we all have both feminine and masculine energies that we express at different times. How and when we express these energies can affect our sexuality. This became evident to me as I spoke with Jackie, a 50-year-old administrator, who had come to the Sexology Clinic with her husband, Andrew, because they were experiencing a lack of intimacy.
Jackie expressed her frustration, explaining, “I sometimes feel like being intimate with my husband, but there is a force between us that repels it.” Andrew, on the other hand, seemed withdrawn and was hesitant to share his thoughts. It was clear that their relationship dynamics were affecting their intimacy.
As we delved deeper, it became apparent that the power dynamics had shifted within their relationship. Jackie, a strong administrator, had taken on a more dominant role in both her professional and personal life. This shift in energy had impacted their intimacy, as she struggled to express her feminine side, and Andrew appeared resigned to this new dynamic.
I explained to Jackie that as women get older, they may naturally begin to express more masculine energy in an effort to lead and make decisions for the family. However, this shift can often lead to a lack of balance and harmony in the relationship, impacting intimacy and sexual satisfaction.
I also emphasized that both men and women need to embrace and balance their feminine and masculine energies for a harmonious relationship. It’s important for women to feel empowered in expressing their femininity, as it brings joy and satisfaction to both partners. This balance of energies is essential for fulfilling intimacy and sexual connection.
Jackie was initially confused by these concepts, as they challenged her belief in equal power in relationships. However, I reassured her that embracing her femininity was not a weakness, but a source of strength and joy. Embracing both feminine and masculine energies can lead to a deeper connection and more fulfilling intimacy.
As we continued our discussion, it became evident that for Jackie and Andrew to restore their intimacy, they needed to reconnect and find a balance of feminine and masculine energies. As they learned to appreciate and express both aspects of themselves, they could create the fusion of energies necessary for a satisfying and fulfilling intimate relationship.
