Desirable

What if most people have never actually experienced real love or real sex? This episode challenges everything we are taught about intimacy, exposing how performance, porn, and shame have replaced emotional connection and embodied pleasure. Susan argues that many relationships fail not because of a lack of love, but because we are never taught how desire, arousal, and the heart actually work together. From faking orgasms to redefining betrayal, this conversation dares to ask uncomfortable questions about monogamy, aging, and sexual fulfillment. Susan shares: ✅ Why faking orgasms and avoiding desire quietly destroy relationships ✅ How heart connection, not technique, changes sex and love completely ✅ Why betrayal, aging, and mismatched desire are misunderstood and rarely discussed honestly ✅ How intimacy can be relearned through embodiment, communication, and self-pleasureFollow Susan!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susanbratton/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BetterLoverWebsite: susanbratton.comConnect with Us:💜 Sign up for Sonya Love's Dare To Love coaching program
