In this week's episode we're answering one of YOUR questions with a combination of expert tips and personal experience.
The Question: “All my friends talk about how amazing their sex lives are, and meanwhile my partner and I are struggling. It’s starting to make me feel like something is wrong with me or our relationship. We’ve been together a couple years… is it normal to have this many issues or is this a red flag?”
What We Cover in This Episode:
- Why it feels like everyone else is having better sex than you. The truth about comparison, what people don’t share about their sex lives, and how this impacts your confidence.
- What are actual red flags in a sex life vs normal relationship struggles. How to tell the difference between fixable intimacy issues and deeper problems like lack of care, effort, or emotional connection.
- Why your sex life might not feel good (and it’s not your fault). How poor sex education, lack of communication, and not knowing your own desires can create a disconnect in the bedroom.
- How to figure out what you like sexually. Practical ways to explore desire, including solo play, Want/Will/Won’t lists, and expanding your understanding of pleasure.
- How to communicate about sex without making it awkward. Simple ways to talk about turn-ons, turn-offs, and different desire styles like responsive vs spontaneous desire.
- How to improve your sex life and feel more connected to your partner. Taking pressure off, redefining what sex means beyond penetration, and creating a version of intimacy that actually works for you.
