Sparking Up a Sexless Marriage

Linda and Doug's first homework assignment from Dr. Berman was simply to touch each other. "They had to get naked. They had to spend like 10 to 15 minutes, each of them on the other. No genital touching. No breast touching. Not about arousal. Just about sensuality and touch," Dr. Berman says.
Doug says the assignment worked well. "It was great because of the connection, but then our conversation at the same time, you know? It wasn't about anything outside the bedroom. It was just us talking," he says.
The couple's second assignment was a field trip to Tantric yoga.
