This week, Dr. Corey and Irene Fehr discuss the concept of highly sensitive people (HSPs) and how it relates to sexual desire in long-term relationships. We explore the different types of sexual desire models, with most women being highly responsive. And we also delve into the characteristics of HSPs, including sensory sensitivity, emotional sensitivity, energetic sensitivity, and introspection. Irene explains the importance of acknowledging and managing overstimulation for HSPs, as well as the need for emotional de-armoring and a slow, spacious progression in physical intimacy. Our conversation emphasizes the importance of self-care and collaboration in creating a better connectedness within the dynamic of a relationship. Learn more about Irene here - https://www.irenefehr.com/ Takeaways Highly sensitive people (HSPs) tend to be highly responsive and sensitive to their environment, both sensorially and energetically. HSPs have a sensitive nervous system wiring, which leads to more input being registered and more time spent processing that information. HSPs may experience overwhelm, overstimulation, and a sense of armoring as a result of their heightened sensitivity. Creating transition times and practicing self-care are essential for managing overstimulation and de-armoring. Emotional dearmoring involves opening up emotionally and having heart-to-heart conversations to melt the armor and foster intimacy. In physical intimacy, HSPs need a slow, spacious progression that focuses on touch that is first affectionate and comforting before becoming more sensual and sexual. On the Xtended Version ...

Irene Fehr, MA, CPCC, Certified Sex & Intimacy Coach, helps couples make love and sex work in long-term relationships and bring sex and passion into sexless ones. Determined to dispel myths about why sex dies in long-term monogamous relationships that cause heartache and broken dreams, Irene's views have been featured all around the world in HuffPost, Cosmopolitan, Shape, Refinery29, ScaryMommy, EliteDaily and Bustle. She is no stranger to her clients' issues, having recovered from the all-too-common story of ‘happy marriage turned sexless' when she lost her libido — all before turning 30.   Listen to this insightful Whinypaluza episode with Irene Fehr about the often-secret subject of loss of intimacy within a relationship and debunking the myths that women have about sex. Here is what to expect on this week's show: The painful feeling of losing one's libido and how it impacts all areas of life, including your sense of worth. Sexual desire is one of our most primal needs as a species. When this is lost, it affects us in myriad ways. Feeling the connection with it is very powerful. Myth 1: Women who are not sexual are broken. In the Western world, media and the greater social community would have women believe they are broken if they have a loss in libido. As a couple in a long-term relationship, it is necessary to deal with multiple sets of factors when desire is lost. Women often feel they need to match the same spontaneous desire that their male partners do. This just isn't realistic. Women generally have responsive sexual desire. Physical engagement and relaxation are precursors to desire and arousal for women. Myth 2: Women can do it all, be it all and still have energy and desire for intimacy at the end of the day. Despite women's capabilities to do much, they are only human and have finite energy and patience. Instead of pushing to do more, focus on removing things from your daily to-dos so you have room and energy left for intimacy. Myth 3: In a long-term relationship, women should want to have sex with the man they love just because they love them. There is not a single, automatic reason for wanting to have sex. It is more complex for women. Intimacy is created in moments of connection and positive stimuli with your partner. Myth 4: Assuming that engaging in obligatory sex will create a desire to engage in sex more. Filling the pleasure cup: small, but frequent moments of joy and pleasure throughout the day will add up and create a state in which you feel desire. These moments can be something a small as enjoying a quiet moment, or smelling a flower. How you and your partner can better communicate their needs and work together to create more intimacy.   Links Mentioned: https://www.irenefehr.com/ How To Want Sex Again video series https://www.irenefehr.com/wanting-sex-again Fee Your Libido program https://feedyourlibidocourse.com/   Connect with Irene: Twitter https://twitter.com/ignitedwoman YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR09-jgEvU89NH9CwoJ2I1Q LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/irenefehr/ Follow Rebecca Greene Blog  https://www.whinypaluza.com/ Book 1  https://bit.ly/WhinypaluzaBook Book 2 https://bit.ly/whinybook2 Facebook  https://www.facebook.com/whinypaluzaparenting Instagram https://www.instagram.com/becgreene5/ @becgreene5 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@whinypaluzamom?lang=en @whinypaluzamom Learn more about your ad choices.

What if divorce were not the end? This week's podcast guests, Tommy and Gina Mulligan, share their journey from acrimonious divorce back to happy coupledom. Tommy and Gina started out as high school sweethearts and grew up together to create a happy life and family. As Tommy's career accelerated, however, they encountered problems with work/life balance, gendered relationship stereotypes and a problematic dynamic that sometimes felt more like a parent and child than a married couple.  Later, however, they were able to rediscover their spark and develop their own unique approach to starting over. This involved working on communication skills, but also agreeing to parcel away the bad times and start again from the point where there had been harmony.   Follow Up Read Andrew's new Substack newsletter and join the community there Follow Tommy and Gina on Twitter @2ndtimearound22 Read Andrew's book The Happy Couple's Handbook – Powerful Life Hacks for a Successful Relationship Listen to some of our other episodes on marriage and relationships - including Irene Fehr on Why Desire Disappears in Committed Relationships and Terry Real on The Five Traps that Undermine Your Love .

Do you fall too easily into the role of rescuer in your relationships? Being the eternal rescuer is exhausting, and it tends to cast those around you in the roles of victim and persecutor.  Or, often, you and your partner will switch between the roles, caught in an eternal and unproductive “drama triangle”. None of the three roles are likely to allow true self-expression, and getting stuck in this cycle is draining and dispiriting. This week Andrew talks with psychotherapist, spiritual teacher and author Chris Partridge about escaping the rescuer role, and developing the spiritual muscle to be able to really understand what your emotions are telling you.   Follow Up Read Andrew's new Substack newsletter and join the community there  Buy Chris Partridge's book Wake Up: What Are Your Emotions Really Telling You?

Why do women stop wanting sex? Why is it so hard to recapture the intoxicating desire of those wonderful early weeks and months of your relationship? Irene Fehr has spent a decade working with couples as a sex and intimacy coach. Her specialty is women's libido and sexual desire in long-term relationships. In this episode Andrew and Irene discuss the nature of desire. Unless we understand what compels and creates desire at different life stages, we will not be able to create a passionate, connected sexual life that meets both partner's needs. As well as understanding desire, there are also practical steps you can take to rekindle your connection. Fencing off time away from your children (including the controversial act of locking the bedroom door) is key; as is taking small amounts of time each day (rather than weekly date nights) to spend in complete, uninterrupted togetherness.  And if you are one of our wonderful Apple, Spotify or Patreon paying subscribers, this week's bonus material sees Andrew and Irene discussing Seven Common Traps for Couples Making Love.

It's a tragic time in the world right now—my heart is breaking for Ukraine, as is the rest of the world. Yet it's also a time that is full of possibility at the same time. Most crises are. And so I begin with an essay I just wrote titled ‘Is This the Beginning of the Great Turning?' I hope it gives you a larger context in which to hold your own grief and upset over what is going on in Eastern Europe right now. My guest in this show has a lot to say about sex, and her message is healthy, strong and reassuring. And if you're a busy woman, it may be just what you need to hear. Irene shares a lot of ideas for those who think their sex life is less than it could be. (Hope is at hand!) Among other things, Irene shared: Four damaging myths about “broken” women The media's influence on how we perceive our sex life—and what reality says The roots of sexual performance anxiety How to manage when one person wants sex and the other doesn't What do our partners need to know about our libido What to do for women who have performance anxiety? What to do if you take meds that inhibit libido Thoughts for single women It's a great show—I hope it helps you understand far more about our sexual selves.  My best to you as ever!

Bringing sexy back: Overcoming a Boring and Routine Sex Life with Irene Fehr Sex and Intimacy coach Irene Fehr joins Tessa to discuss why the honeymoon period of relationships end and what to do about it. They explore how different sexual desires in a relationship create a battleground for attachment, myths around the female libido and how these myths create a stressful rather than enjoyable sex life, and how to create a sex life that survives the many waves of life.Irene Fehr began her journey as a sex and intimacy coach after going through a crisis of her own. She was in a marriage that other people wished they had. But, for many years in her marriage she was losing her libido and experiencing painful sex. Not too long after, she lost her marriage and got divorced. This experience sent her on a quest to understand her body and mind. Today, Irene is a certified coach and relationship expert. She is regularly featured as a sex expert in mainstream publications such as Cosmopolitan, Elite Daily, and Bustle. “I realized I wasn't actually broken” - Irene Feh5 Key Takeaways 1. Men are more likely to experience spontaneous sexual desire while women are more likely to experience responsive sexual desire. Women can take more control of their sex life by initiating a sexual experience in a way that turns them on. For example, if baths turn you on then invite your partner to have a bath with you. 2. To get to a confident place in your sex life, you have to be ready to fail. Yes, it is frightening to experiment in such a vulnerable setting. But, being ready to fail is the only way you can fully explore and understand who you are as a sexual being and what turns you on. 3. You can't run on an empty engine. If you are spending the day doing exhausting things, it is only natural that you don't have sexual energy at night. You have to be in tune with your body and listen to what it needs. 4. One place that women's libido myths originate from women trying to mimic the sexual behavior ofmen and the expectation of men for women to exhibit the same sexual behavior they do. 5. When you seek a sense of safety during sex, you might tend to play it safe during sex. For example, you might say things like “I don't want to hurt his feelings by asking him to give me more time”.

"My story was typical," Sex & Intimacy Coach Irene Fehr says describing her picture perfect marriage with her ex-husband. "We fell in love. Everything was wonderful in the beginning. We had amazing chemistry. We were the couple that everyone looked at and said, wow, we want to have what you're having. It looked great from the outside but, on the inside, just by getting married, it didn't make us experts in being married. It didn't all of a sudden make us know each other and know how to make a relationship work, how to make love and sex work, how to negotiate, how to take care of each other's emotional needs, how to even express our own emotional needs. So, the way I wasn't living my own life was because I was performing. When it came to sex, what was I reading? I was reading Cosmo and the different tips and how a woman is supposed to be. I also grew up on shows like Friends who showed me you're supposed to be nonchalant and easy about things. I couldn't fathom this idea that I could actually ask a man to do something different. I was just on this receiving end of what came. Of course I felt powerless, like I wasn't living my own life, because I had no agency."Thus begins, Irene's rolling awakening from closed eyes to eyes wide open, from friction sex to connection sex. Together we discuss the need to know what we want in order to truly consent to anything in a deep way and how exactly it's possible to finish sex feeling more open, more confident, more relaxed, and filled up with pleasure rather than empty and wanting.Irene Fehr:Website: https://www.irenefehr.comBlog: https://www.irenefehr.com/blog-and-writingTwitter: https://twitter.com/ignitedwomanYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channelEmail: https://www.irenefehr.com/contactChelsea Leigh Trescott:Website: https://breakupward.comAdvice Column: https://www.huffpost.comWriting: https://thoughtcatalog.com/chelsea-leigh-trescott Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/musingsEmail: chelsea@breakupward.com

Marni welcomes a sex and intimacy coach into the Den. Irene Fair helps couples make love and sex work in long-term relationships while keeping the passion alive. Irene’s work has been featured in HuffPo, Elite Daily, Bustle, and Scary Mommy.   Key takeaways from this episode:  How to want sex again Dispel myths about libido  Why it is important to communicate your sexual needs early Why having sex too soon can hurt a sex life later   Losing Libido Isn’t Funny [2:24] It's important to remember sex at the beginning of a relationship is special and unique. It should not be a benchmark for the sexual expectations of a long-term relationship.  When some women become asexual as their libido drops we rarely look at what has happened in a relationship or what is different than in the beginning when the partners first experienced each other.   Irene reminds us, there are various ways to have a sexual connection between partners. Sex doesn't have to mean only traditional intercourse. When we think of sex as only one thing we pigeonhole ourselves because it robs us of the richness of connection and intimacy.  We all need to let loose and surrender to the moment.    Communicating Sexual Needs [8:40] Contrary to popular belief, Irene recommends communicating sexual needs at the beginning of a relationship. She says do not wait until problems show up to discuss them with your partner. Because it is common for men to initiate or to lead the sexual aspect of a relationship. Therefore, he leads from his perspective or what works for him without fully understanding what works best for us.  It can lead women to try to keep up with or reject their partner which can create a negative dynamic.  Having our emotional needs met is the key to a woman’s sexual desire engine. Men function differently.   Tips for a Successful Sex Life [15:54] While it is important to communicate your sexual needs early in a relationship, Irene warns against having sex too soon while dating. She points out that once you are being manipulated by all those crazy hormones you will be bonded to a person before you know if they are right for you.   Hormones released during sex can keep you from recognizing potential red flags in a relationship. Staying sober (free from hormones) during the beginning of a relationship allows us to ask important questions about what the future may look like with a person.    Make a Connection: Visit Our Website Join Our Dating Den Facebook Community Here!

 In this episode, I am joined by Irene Fehr to discuss how to avoid a sexless marriage, a topic that is so often brought up as being the "norm". Irene has been a sex & intimacy coach for the last 8 years and has helped hundreds of women and couples find sexual satisfaction. Libido is a person's overall sexual drive or desire for sexual activity. Painful sex & lost libido are two popular things that lead to a sexless marriage.Take a moment during this episode to ask yourself- Have you lost your desire? Are you having "friction sex"?In the beginning of a relationship, the couple can't keep their hands off each other, everything is new and exciting. Over time, the same kind of sex becomes boring. For example, one partner wants more variety but is scared to bring up her wants, so they hold back. In friction sex, you're only hurting yourself by not having your needs met. In this type of sex, talking about your wants can be scary. When you start to fall in love with someone you become attached, you experience a new passion but with that comes the fear of abandonment or fear of failure. What do we do when we're scared? We tend to play it safe; we don't ask for what we need. When we don't show up vulnerably which leads to a loss of connection. So how do we avoid this? Irene's Tips:- Connect verbally. Speak about your needs and desires often- what is or is not working in the relationship?- Connect sexually and non-sexual (sacred spaces) - Take risks! Learn to be vulnerable and you will benefit greatly with connection through emotion - Assume your partner wants to please you as much as you want to please them Repeat after me"I AM WORTH IT, I DESERVE FOR MY NEEDS TO BE MET".Connective sex is not just a way of having sex it is a way of life. Having your needs met is fundamental. Connective sex is a disciplined approach to creating intimacy. Remember...Being vulnerable and having fun sets your relationship up for the long term! You can work through any problem and overcome any obstacle in a vulnerable way with your partner!Connect with Irene Fehr!

Irene Fehr is Sex and Intimacy Coach specializing in female libido, working with women & couples in a long term relationship. In this candid interview, Irene shares her journey as she navigated the unknown of female libido - which showed up in pain with sex and led to a sexless marriage in her late 20’s. After a painful divorce, Irene was left without answers to why she experienced pain and loss for sexual desire. She set out on a mission to heal herself and find answers both western medicine and traditional therapy left untouched. It was through this daunting exploration and emotional deep dive, she discovered the world of life coaching. For the first time she was asked - what do YOU want?

Having shrunk from the shame and negative beliefs around sex and intimacy - Irene felt invisible in front of men. On a quest to untangle her wounds around intimacy, she then sought out a sex coach. Irene was given permission to paint a sex life she really wanted to create. Within 6 months her life was overhauled, and she became 100% clear this is what she wanted to do with her life. Irene believes our sexuality as women isn’t just a ‘nice to have’ or for reproductive purposes - it is our POWER. Irene's mission is to help women, couples, and men understand what’s happening and to help them find each other again in the relationship, realize their dreams of love, connection, and support them in creating a future they really want - and then pass it on to their children!

Episode 25 breaks apart the belief that Pleasure is so taboo -   The time has come to talk about sex in a more spiritual, soul filling way and my guest Irene Fehr is all about that!  Are you so scared to ask for it, receive it, surrender to it, and give yourselves permission to like sex, money or power? Has life or pain filled up so much that you can't enjoy it? This episode is going to open your mind up to how your ability to be intimate can deeply affect your psyche and invade your physical health, self-view, lifestyle, success, and pain!   The Guilt, The Fear Around Wanting it Better   I know many conservative women in my old clinical practice struggled with the guilt, fear, and authority to call the shots in the bedroom. I have seen how that inner dialogue can play off as pain in the body. I have seen some pretty tight pelvic floors and stress related conditions show up in the muscles of the pelvis, jaw, hips and low back and upon healing, we find that this pattern of hold in the body had much more to do with feeling bad inside about wanting pleasure than actually not having it available.   When Being Touched Feels Wrong   I have also seen many women deal with years of painful periods after being sexually abused and avoid being intimate with that body area due to dysfunction.  It is as if the body is punishing the woman for not receiving pleasure or is caught up in mind/body loop to guard against passive entry.   Sometimes we are protecting ourselves from a history of receiving it the wrong way.   Irene Fehr knows all about that.    As an Intimacy & Sexuality Coach, advocate, adventurer, and healer Irene is on a mission to help people have more love into their sex life and more sex into their love life. Known for authentically sharing her own personal experiences as a sexually empowered woman, Irene gives permission to others to explore their authentic selves in uncharted territory.   In this Talk we explore: The myths and sadness making pleasure being a taboo subject How Irene leads women and couples on a journey of sexual growth, expansion and connection. How receiving, as in the role of our bodies during sex, is actually a really feminine force of abundance, surrender, and flow into our minds and bodies. How important it is to change the the way sexual health has been historically linked to two things: STDs and avoidance of pregnancy for our sons and daughters. She ends our call with a really wonderful gift for everyone to learn SO MUCH MORE.

She inspires Women to connect with their sensual and sexual pleasure as a source of fuel and nourishment for their soul and wellbeing!   Yeah, we're talking about sex today!   When Irene found herself in a sexless marriage in her early 30's she felt her light went out and subsequently lost her fire for life. With a loss of libido at the core, she felt a distinct disconnect with her partner and body. The startling reality is this is more common than you think. Women today are so busy that they have de-prioritize themselves while primarily focusing on  external elements of their life. Irene claims that sexless marriages and loss of libido are epidemically common for women between 35 and 45 years of age. Attributing the loss of libido with self abandonment; there are many cultural implications we need to face: lifestyle, societal messages, career consumption and at the heart, our deprioritization of self!   She unpacks this for us and shares the ways Women need to experience nourishment and have important conversations about wellness for the whole self.
