Hey gang. I'm hoping to get some support and feedback on something. I am in a wonderful relationship with my fiancee and we love each other more than anything. We are also deeply attracted to each other. The problem? Although we both are very much interested in sex and have pretty high sex drives, we have sex pretty infrequently. I know that we both have stuff affecting our energy levels - for me it's an eating disorder, mostly; for her, it's medication side effects - but for me a big part of it is body image stuff. Even though I know she finds me sexy and is more than happy with my body, sometimes I can't even stand to be naked around her, let alone to have her touch me, let alone have sex. But I don't want this to escalate to the point where our relationship ends up fizzing out because our sexual needs are not being met and we grow so far apart that it becomes something we cannot fix. Thoughts? Comments? Suggestions?

That sounds like a serious problem. I would seek sex therapy.
