* Explore other forms of intimacy such as holding hands, talking gently to each other, cuddling and stroking rather than full-on sex
* Feeling as if you are not being heard is a barrier to sex – so make your partner feel respected and important
* Get some additional support by going to see a sex therapist, relationship counsellor or your GP
