Preferred term

marriage: sexual problems  

Definition

  • Sexual practices in marriage are diverse, making it difficult to define what is “normal” or “healthy.” Marital sexual practices may include masturbation, coitus, oral sex, anal sex, sex play, and other activities. In healthy relationships, these sexual activities can occur through gentle caressing touches as well as through more sexually aggressive or passionate contact.
