Today's episode is about sex. And I know that word alone is enough to make some people skip past this one — which is exactly why I wanted to make it. This episode is a little different from our usual format. You'll hear from audience callers who responded to our casting call asking for your spiciest, most unexpected sex stories. What we got back was so much more than I anticipated — hilarious, raw, surprising, and genuinely human. But first, you'll hear excerpts from my conversation with Vanessa Marin, a licensed sex therapist with over 20 years of experience who joined me to bring some real expertise to the table. My conversation with Vanessa includes a 30-day kissing challenge she and her husband actually did, the concept of "the ick" and what gratitude research says about relationship satisfaction. We also chat about her GET intimate technique: three surprisingly simple things that can rebuild connection even in the driest of dry spells. Then you'll hear a clip from my full conversation with Melanie, which is available as its own episode linked below. Melanie is deeply involved in the BDSM community, and what I expected to be a conversation about kink turned into a deep dive on trust, communication, consent, and something called subspace — which I genuinely had never heard of before. She completely shifted some of my assumptions, and if this clip intrigues you, I highly recommend going back to listen to the full thing. And finally, you'll get a taste of my conversation with Emily — also linked below as its own full episode — whose story starts as a spicy, unusual submission and takes a turn I truly didn't see coming. There's a chicken coop. There's a sensory deprivation box. There's a lot more I'm not going to spoil here. What I will say is that this one goes somewhere I never expected, and I think it's one of the most unexpectedly moving conversations we've had on this show. These are real stories from real people — and I think that's exactly the point. So many of us feel like we're the only one having the experiences we're having. We're not.

We are getting into spicy content today! I have been feeling the pull to talk about sex and intimacy. A topic that is extremely valuable in my opinion and under discussed!Especially when I started to discover how reflective, how powerful and how essential sexual energy is, what it means and how we are literally only utilizing this energy 4% when it is one of the most potent energies! In this episode I take you on a journey as I discover what sexual energy means to me and what energetically it is teaching us. The value of it and how we can start using it not just for pleasure and enjoyment but also a tool to amplify our creator power. Intimacy is a deeply spiritual act whether it is with yourself or someone else! In my bones I always felt that there was more to it than just pro-creation, lust and desire! It is the literal energy we use to manifest and create new life (not just in the form of a new human life). In this episode I'll take you down the rabbit hole of what I have channeled, researched and discovered through my experiences, plus the misconceptions around the topic of sex and intimacy!So let's dive in!Connect with Manouk: Email: info@nouksgoddessacademy.comApply for a Free intuitive Analysis HereJoin The NewsLetter and Stay up to date with FreeLive Events and Webinars:Join the Free NewsletterDive deeper inside the Free Goddess Academy Membership: https://portal.nouksgoddessacademy.com/MembershipWant to explore more of our programs?Visit: www.nouksgoddessacademy.comCome hang out with me!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manoukvinkRumble: https://rumble.com/user/Manoukvink
In one of her most honest conversations yet, Layla Taylor reflects on the quiet journey of becoming herself. She opens up about coming out as bisexual, navigating faith, identity, single motherhood, and the weight of growing up feeling like she had to fit into everyone else's expectations. Rather than focusing on the hardships alone, this episode explores what happens when you stop living in survival mode and finally choose authenticity, self-worth, and the freedom to define your own life. In this episode you'll learn: How to Stop Living for Other People's Approval How to Finally Embrace Your Authentic Self How to Leave a Toxic Relationship Without Regret How to Find Yourself After Divorce and Heartbreak How to Be Comfortable Being Alone for the First Time How to Turn Your Hardest Experiences Into Strength The greatest freedom comes from embracing yourself with honesty, letting go of the expectations that no longer serve you, and trusting that growth often begins on the other side of fear. Your story doesn't have to be perfect to be meaningful, it just has to be yours.

Welcome to Episode 69 of the QR Lab Podcast — Let's Talk About Sex: Biology, Psychology, and the Human ConditionIn this episode, we tackle one of the most powerful, influential, and often misunderstood forces in human life: sex. Far more than a biological function, the sexual act sits at the intersection of physiology, psychology, emotion, identity, relationships, and even spirituality. It is a force that has shaped civilizations, inspired art and literature, driven conflict, and brought people together since the dawn of humanity.We explore the governing mechanisms behind human sexuality, from the biological imperatives embedded within our bodies to the psychological and emotional dimensions that influence attraction, intimacy, bonding, and desire. Why is sexuality such a central feature of human existence? What role does it play in our development, our relationships, and our understanding of ourselves?As with many topics at the QR Lab, we move beyond simplistic explanations and ask deeper questions. Is sexuality merely a product of evolution and survival, or does it point toward something more profound about the human experience? Why does this aspect of life possess such tremendous power to create, transform, inspire, and sometimes destroy?Join us as we examine the scientific, psychological, and philosophical dimensions of sexuality, seeking to better understand one of the most fundamental realities of being human.Website: https://www.qrlabpod.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@qrlabpod/shortsInstagram: https://instagram.com/qrlabpodEMAIL: qrlabpod@gmail.comJoin us in the lab as we have an open and thoughtful discussion about one of humanity's most essential drives—and what it reveals about our nature, our relationships, and our place in the unfolding story of life.

How are sex and gender differences reflected in mental health research and care - from prevalence and symptoms to diagnosis and treatment?In this episode, Franziska talks to Andreas Fallgatter, Professor and Medical Director at the University Hospital Tübingen and spokesperson of the Tübingen site of the German Center for Mental Health (DZPG). Together, they talk about differences in prevalence and symptoms of mental health disorders between women and men, and discuss how well these differences are currently reflected in clinical practice. Prof. Fallgatter shares insights from both research and patient care, highlighting where psychiatry has made progress - and where important gaps remain. Looking ahead, Prof. Fallgatter outlines how we can better translate research into practice and what is needed to move toward more personalized and sex- and gender-sensitive approaches in psychiatry.Join us for a conversation at the intersection of neuroscience, clinical practice, and the future of mental health care.If you would like to get in touch with Prof. Fallgatter, you can find him here: https://www.medizin.uni-tuebingen.de/de/das-klinikum/mitarbeiter/profil/1572... or reach him at: andreas.fallgatter@med.uni-tuebingen.deTimestamps:00:26: Introduction of our guest Prof. Dr. Andreas Fallgatter01:53: Importance of sex/gender in mental health research & practice03:34: Prevalence differences in mental health disorders04:24: Examples of symptom differences in women vs. men across mental health disorders05:42: Risks of not recognizing sex/gender differences06:56: How the field has dealt with sex/gender differences in the past07:45: Has understanding of sex/gender influences in mental health changed?10:56: To what extent is sex/gender considered in diagnoses and treatment? 15:22: Overview of current projects on women's mental health disorders18:19: The German Center for Mental Health (DZPG): Aims and goals21:58: Sex/gender sensitive approaches in the German Center for Mental Health22:54: Summary & key takeaways24:01: Research gaps and future directions in sex/gender differences in mental health27:32: Thank you and wrap up Outline & questions: Franziska WeinmarSound recording & Editing: Franziska Weinmar with the equipment of the IRTG2804Do you have any feedback, suggestions, or questions?

Most couples think desire starts in the bedroom. That if intimacy feels flat, the fix must be: A date night. A new toy. A different position. A quick spark strategy. But here's the truth… By the time you get to the bedroom, desire has already been built… or eroded. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack what actually creates lasting desire in long-term relationships… and why emotional connection, safety, playfulness, and polarity matter far more than performance or technique. They share personal stories, masculine/feminine perspectives, and the practical shifts that help couples reignite attraction before the clothes ever come off. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why desire is built throughout the day… not in the bedroom alone Why date nights, toys, and quick fixes often don't solve deeper intimacy disconnection The real ingredients that build desire: emotional safety, vulnerability, playfulness, trust, and connection Why touch without an agenda can completely shift intimacy and attraction Polarity, emotional safety, and why many women need connection before desire opens Why low desire, menopause, or aging do not mean your erotic aliveness is gone Desire is not usually a sex problem. It's a connection problem. Or a safety problem. Or a resentment problem. Or simply a relationship that forgot how to play. But that can change. When you build emotional intimacy… create safety… slow down… and reconnect… Desire naturally comes back online.
What happens when couples stop talking about the very thing they most need to understand?In this honest and compassionate episode of The Whinypaluza Podcast, Rebecca Greene sits down with Dr. Tiffany Stanley to talk about desire, intimacy, shame, communication, motherhood, menopause, trauma, and what really happens when couples start feeling more like roommates than partners.Dr. Tiffany Stanley is a licensed psychotherapist, clinical sexologist, AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, and author of the upcoming book Nothing Is Off the Table. She helps women and couples move out of shame, silence, and disconnection and into self trust, desire, pleasure, and honest communication.Rebecca and Tiffany talk about why desire changes through different stages of life, why safety and nervous system regulation matter, and why couples need to stop guessing and start talking. Tiffany explains that intimacy is not just about sex. It is about connection, communication, emotional safety, and making time for the relationship before resentment and neglect take over.Key Takeaways→ Desire is not broken just because it changes over time.→ Women often need safety, transition time, rest, and emotional connection before they can access desire.→ Couples rarely talk about sex, but talking about it is one of the biggest keys to improving intimacy.→ Feeling like roommates usually happens because the couple relationship has been neglected.→ Mismatched desire does not automatically mean something is wrong with the relationship.→ Trauma, stress, illness, motherhood, menopause, and attachment styles can all affect intimacy.→ Pleasure starts with reconnecting to yourself, not just pleasing someone else.→ Children benefit from seeing parents invest in their relationship with affection, repair, and intentional time together.Dr. Tiffany Stanley, Ph.D., LPC-S, MA, NCC, ABS, CST, UKCP Reg., is a licensed psychotherapist, supervisor, clinical sexologist, and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. She specializes in women's emotional wellbeing, intimacy, desire, attachment, and identity across major life transitions.

Do you have this annoying problem too? You want to have a great, passionate, sexual marriage but your wife won't talk about sex with you and whenever you try it always goes badly?In this episode I talk about 3 options you have to deal with this situation, what happens when you try each option and which has the best chance of creating more safety, intimacy, connection and even laughter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't. They are too busy taking care of everyone else. Too busy minding the store and making the money. They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun
Why would the Resurrection change how Catholics talk about sex?We got into an online argument about sex, marriage, and what husbands are owed. But the more we talked, the more we realized the real disagreement was deeper than sex. It was about what marriage is, what sexual desire is, and whether how we understood the Resurrection actually changes what we believe our bodies are for.We wrote a Catholic s*x book!

When it comes to sex, culture has given us plenty of messages—most of them cheap, distorted, and hollow. But here's the truth: sex was God's idea. It's not dirty. It's not shameful. It's sacred. God created sex to reflect His design for intimacy, unity, and even creativity. But when sin entered the story, this gift was twisted. What was meant to bond us became casual. What was meant to be cherished became consumed. What was meant to bring joy became tainted by shame. That's why God gives us boundaries. Not because He wants to take away our joy, but because He wants to protect it. Boundaries aren't about limitation; they're about preservation. Real freedom doesn't come from doing whatever feels good in the moment. Real freedom comes from aligning our desires with God's design. Purity empowers us to build trust, to guard our hearts, and to experience intimacy as God intended to be deep, lasting, life-giving. So, here's the challenge: what does it look like for you to honor God with your sexual choices this week? Wherever you are, the invitation is the same: don't settle for the world's version of sex. Shed the shame, hurt and brokenness of the world and step into God's vision of sex that brings freedom, joy, and a love that endures.
Today's episode is going to be a wild ride, as we dive headfirst into a conversation that's bound to be one of the most raw and real shares we've ever had.Yep, you guessed it - we're talking about sex. But hold on, we're not approaching it the way you've heard a million times before.Our mission here at The God Pod? To flip the script and invite you into a judgment-free zone where we can explore your relationship with yourself (and with God) without any shame weighing us down.Joining me on this journey are my dear friends and mentors, Kevin and Rea Queen, who I affectionately call my "fairy godparents". Together, we're diving deep into my own experiences, baring it all in the hopes of showing you that there's no room for shame or condemnation when faith is your compass.When I first stumbled upon this whole idea of "saving myself" for marriage, I didn't fully grasp what I was getting into. But as my relationship with my now-husband evolved, so did my understanding of commitment.Before I knew it, we were on a journey of self-discovery and revelation, strengthening our bond in ways I never thought possible. And as our wedding day approached, I felt this urge to share our story, to shed light on how my faith journey transformed my views on love, intimacy, and self-worth.So here we are, laying it all out on the table, hoping to spark some honest conversations and remind you that your journey is valid, unique, and oh-so-worthy.

I'm so excited to share episode 124 of the Opportunity Knocks podcast featuring the incredible Dr. Christina Tracy Stein. ✨Christina is a therapist, sexologist, speaker, and the author of Accomplished Woman. Growing up in the personal development world as the daughter of legendary speaker and author Brian Tracy, Christina was surrounded by some of the pioneers of the self-development movement from an early age. Leaders like Tony Robbins, Jim Rohn, and Stephen Covey were part of the conversations in her world growing up, which sparked her lifelong curiosity about human behavior, psychology, relationships, and what it truly means to live authentically and with purpose.In this conversation, we explore everything from communication and intimacy to feminine energy, self-connection, and the power of authentic relationships. Christina shares how her own journey—from becoming a marriage and family therapist to earning a PhD in human sexuality—led her to help people better understand themselves, their partners, and the deeper connections that shape our lives.Christina also talks about her book Accomplished Woman, which encourages women to recognize their value, redefine what accomplishment means, and embrace a more holistic view of fulfillment that includes relationships, vitality, and authenticity.In this episode, we explore:• Why honest communication is the foundation of intimacy• The role vulnerability plays in building meaningful relationships• Reconnecting with your body, energy, and life force• How women can redefine what it means to feel accomplished• Why authentic connection is more important than ever in today's worldWhen we truly know ourselves and honor our own value, we show up more fully in our relationships—and that's where real connection begins.#OpportunityKnocksPodcast #AccomplishedWoman #AuthenticConnection #WomenInLeadership #PersonalGrowth #Relationships #EmpowerWomen #FemininePower #SelfDiscovery #EmpowHer #OpportunityKnocks #ChristinaTracy #Success
Sexual addiction is often treated as a behavior problem. Stop the behavior. Remove the temptation. Try harder next time. But what if the behavior is not the real issue? What if the patterns that bring shame, secrecy, and self-sabotage are actually revealing something deeper about the story you carry? This week on Win Today, therapist and researcher Jay Stringer joins me to unpack the anatomy of sexual addiction and unwanted sexual behavior. Drawing from research involving more than 3,800 men and women, Jay explains why these patterns are rarely random and how the unresolved parts of our past often shape them. We talk about why shame keeps people trapped in destructive cycles, why curiosity is often the first step toward healing, and why grief has the surprising power to reshape what we desire. Sexual struggles are not simply moral failures to suppress. They can become a roadmap that leads us toward the healing we have avoided. If you are stuck in patterns you cannot explain, if shame has kept you silent, or if you've tried to manage the behavior without understanding the story behind it, this episode will help you see why real freedom begins with honesty. Guest Bio Jay Stringer is a licensed therapist, minister, and researcher who helps men and women understand and outgrow unwanted sexual behaviors. He is the author of the award-winning book Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing, based on a multiyear research study involving more than 3,800 men and women exploring the roots of sexual addiction and compulsive sexual behavior. Jay is also the creator of the Sexual Behavior Self-Assessment and The Journey Course, a five-month program designed to help individuals identify and transform the deeper drivers behind destructive patterns. He holds an MDiv and a master's degree in counseling psychology from The Seattle School of Theology and Psychology and completed post-graduate training under Dr. Dan Allender while serving as a Senior Fellow at The Allender Center.

Welcome back BK Fam! This week we talk about sex, assumptions/ misconceptions that come with it. Plus the lessons I've learned from the consequences I've had to face from not doing it God's way! Sermon of the week: https://youtu.be/PY3bEWNC0ic?si=75fAPL1dMjjEtamQ Thank you guys for all the love & support! Never goes unnoticed! ❤️❤️ Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen to little old me!
Your sexual health is a crucial but often overlooked and under-discussed aspect of your overall health and well-being. So we invited Dr. Cammy Benton and her husband, Kyle, onto the pod to discuss their expertise and experience in helping themselves and others unlock the secret to deepening intimacy, reigniting desire, and transforming their sexual relationship—without shame, stress, or confusion. Dr. Cammy Benton shares powerful insights from her research and personal journey, revealing how understanding your body, love languages, and natural rhythms can elevate your sex life at any age. Most couples hit a wall long-term, thinking sex should just happen automatically, but the truth is, it takes intentionality, mastery, but a lot less pressure than you might think. Whether you're battling low libido, mismatched energies, or the cultural shame surrounding sexuality, you are not alone, and this episode is designed to connect you to the information, resources, and people who can help.Timestamps:00:00 - Welcome and introduction to Dr. Cammy Benton and her background and her husband, Kyle Hall02:02 - The significance of safe spaces and authentic love in sexual health05:15 - The influence of toxic humility and societal conditioning on self-love08:05 - Balancing masculine and feminine energies in relationships10:35 - The importance of polarity for sexual attraction and health12:05 - Addressing low libido and hormonal changes in women13:40 - Tips for reinvigorating desire through intimacy routines and date nights15:40 - The role of flirtation and playful affection in relationships17:00 - Scheduling intimacy—myth and practicality20:30 - Creating a sexual sanctuary at home for better connection22:00 - Understanding and honoring different love languages and sexual blueprints25:00 - The impact of cultural and religious shame on sexual expression30:23 - The significance of understanding men's and women's unique sexual needs34:43 - Approaching conversations about sex with honesty and safety38:00 - The divine purpose of the sexual body and creation energy41:25 - Maintaining pleasure and curiosity over long-term marriages44:00 - Moving beyond trauma and victimhood to empowerment in sexual health48:47 - The value of intentionality, play, and fun in intimacy55:40 - Exploring dance and creative expression to unleash sexuality58:00 - The importance of modeling healthy sexuality for future generationsResources & Links:www.BentonIntegrative.comCome As You Are by Emily NagoskiCome Together by Emily NagoskiThe Erotic Blueprint
For years, we thought better sex meant better techniques. New positions. More spark. More effort. More performance. But what if incredible sex isn't created by trying harder…what if it emerges when pressure disappears? In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack why performance kills desire, how nervous system safety unlocks erotic depth, and why the sex only became incredible once the pressure to make it incredible was gone. This conversation moves beyond surface-level sex advice and into embodied intimacy, sacred touch, and layered orgasmic experience. What You'll Hear in This Episode Why trying to fix sex rarely works and how performance culture quietly sabotages intimacy How the conditioning that keeps us in our heads instead of our bodies during sex Why pressure shuts down desire, and safety reopens it What is the sequence that transforms sex What are the four levels of orgasm, and why do most couples never move beyond the first How sacred touch practices shift intimacy from mechanical to embodied Why incredible sex isn't forced When intimacy deepens long enough… It's no longer about fixing sex. And that's when the sex becomes incredible.
Care to Change Counseling - Practical Solutions for Positive Change
We're closing out our All About Marriage series with a conversation that many couples avoid but desperately need: sex and intimacy.In this episode, Teresa Haskins joins Larry Vincent to talk candidly about one of the most misunderstood areas of marriage. From common myths about sex drive to the emotional, biological, and relational factors that influence intimacy, this discussion brings clarity, compassion, and practical insight.If intimacy has felt confusing, disappointing, or difficult in your marriage, you are not alone. This episode will help you reframe expectations, understand the deeper layers of connection, and begin healthier conversations with your spouse.In this episode, we discuss:The biggest myths about sex in marriageWhy intimacy struggles are rarely just a “low sex drive” issueThe biological, psychological, and relational factors that impact desireThe difference between using sex to gain connection versus sex flowing from connectionWhat it means to experience body, mind, and spirit alignment in intimacyHow unrealistic expectations sabotage fulfillmentWhy open, vulnerable conversation is the most important first stepEncouragement for couples who feel stuck or discouragedOne powerful takeaway: healthy intimacy is not a performance or a formula. It is an overflow of safety, connection, alignment, and ongoing communication.Resources Mentioned:The 40 Forms of Intimacy by Alex AvilaSacred Marriage by Gary ThomasCome As You Are by Emily NagoskiIf this conversation resonates with you and your spouse, consider taking the next step. The therapists at Care to Change are here to help you move from frustration to connection in a safe and supportive environment.
Life has been a lot lately. So today, we're digging into the archives and bringing back one of the most important episodes we've ever recorded: how to talk about sex. Because communication is the thing that keeps connection alive. And these conversations don't have to feel awkward, heavy, or like you're about to start a fight. When you know how to do it right, talking about sex can actually be fun, flirty, and bonding. In this episode, we're breaking down the #1 mistake couples make when they finally try to talk about sex (hint: they wait until something feels bad), and we'll give you our favorite low-pressure ways to start opening up… even if your partner is resistant, nervous, or shuts down the second you bring it up.
In this episode of One in Ten, host Teresa Huizar welcomes Dr. Brian Allen, professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Penn State, to discuss what motivates problematic sexual behavior (PSB) in children and youth and what the research shows. Allen explains his path into the field and why he conducted a meta-analysis—combining results across studies to create a much larger dataset (about 9,000 children) and examine the strength of associations across age, gender, and different risk factors.Time Stamps Time Topic 00:00 What Drives Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) in Kids?

“Good sex” isn't automatic. It's built. In this episode, Dr. Nicole McNichols breaks down a truth most people learn way too late: great intimacy doesn't come from luck, chemistry, or “just knowing” what to do. It comes from learnable skills. We talk about the skills nobody teaches you but that make the biggest difference over time: how to communicate desire without pressure, how to create safety so intimacy feels easier, and how to shift from performing to genuinely connecting. Dr. McNichols also shares practical frameworks you can use to explore more confidently, navigate mismatched desires, and have conversations about sex that feel respectful, clear, and surprisingly doable.

The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast With Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby
Struggling with a dead bedroom? Talking about sex can feel more vulnerable and more terrifying than almost any other conversation in relationships, but it's the key to bringing back the spark. In this episode, you'll learn how to talk about sex with your partner in ways that strengthen emotional intimacy, reignite sexual intimacy, deepen connection, and help couples communicate without shame, fear, or defensiveness. If you've ever wanted more closeness or desire in your relationship but felt frozen when it came time to talk about sex, you're not alone. For many couples, learning how to talk about sex with your partner feels risky—even when love is strong and the longing for connection is real. Fear of rejection, conflict, or hurting each other can keep these conversations stuck beneath the surface, quietly eroding intimacy over time. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tara, a Kinsey-certified sexologist and tenured professor of sexual and relational communication, to talk about how to communicate better about sex in ways that actually build safety, trust, and closeness. We explore why sexual conversations feel so charged, how cultural conditioning shapes desire and avoidance, and what helps couples rebuild trust sexually after long periods of distance, rejection, or disconnection. You'll hear practical guidance for starting these conversations gently, expanding what sexual intimacy can look like in long-term relationships, and taking responsibility for your own sexual self—without blame or shame. As you listen, I invite you to reflect on this question: What might become possible in your relationship if talking about sex felt safer, clearer, and more connecting than it does right now? Episode Breakdown 00:00 Why Talking About Sex Feels So Hard in Relationships 06:30 The Cost of Avoiding Conversations About Sex 15:00 How Sexual Communication Affects Intimacy and Connection 22:00 How to Talk About Sex Without Fear or Defensiveness 27:30 Understanding Your Sexual Self Before Communicating Needs 30:00 Redefining Sexual Intimacy Beyond Penetration 33:00 How to Ask for What You Want Sexually (Without Hurting Your Partner) 39:00 Navigating Sexual Differences in Long-Term Relationships 47:00 Rebuilding Sexual Trust and Attraction After Distance 52:40 The Core Skill: Knowing What You Want and Communicating It If this conversation stirred something for you—maybe a desire to feel closer, more confident, or more understood—you're invited to schedule a free consultation with me or a member of my team. It's a private, secure space where you can share what's been happening in your relationship and what you're hoping will feel different. You'll answer three quick questions so we can thoughtfully match you with the right counselor or coach for your needs. It only takes a couple of minutes, and it's designed to help you find support that fits, whether you're working on communication, rebuilding sexual trust, or finding your way back to connection. Consider this a gentle next step and an open door, if and when you're ready. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Growing Self Special thanks to this month's sponsors of the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast: Shopify — The all-in-one platform for building and growing your online business.

Let's talk about it—women's pleasure in marriage. For too long, Christian women have been taught that sex is just for their husbands, leaving many feeling disconnected, ashamed, or even unaware of God's true design for intimacy.

In this episode, I sit down with Tiera and Alana from Kingdom Sexuality Ministry to unpack what the Bible really says about intimacy, how to break free from shame, and why understanding pleasure is essential to a thriving, God-honoring marriage. What the Bible says about women's pleasure in marriage How purity culture shaped our view of intimacy—and what needs to change Practical ways to embrace intimacy as a gift from God How to communicate your needs in marriage with confidence Biblical encouragement for women struggling with shame, guilt, or trauma This is a conversation every Christian woman needs to hear—whether you're newly married, struggling in this area, or just wanting to grow in intimacy with your spouse.

In this episode of Sexy Marriage Radio, we discuss the importance of teaching children about sex and sexuality in a healthy and age-appropriate manner. There is a need for open communication between parents and children, and sex education should not be a one-time conversation but rather an ongoing dialogue. We provide practical principles for discussing these topics, including the importance of using accurate terminology, discussing consent and boundaries, and creating a welcoming environment for questions. They also address common parental fears and encourage parents to start these conversations early and often. Enjoy the show! On the Xtended Version … In the XTD content, we share age-tiered sex talk thoughts. In other words, how you adjust the conversation to the different ages as your children grow up.

There's no “right” time for the sex talk. Just ask Dr. Becky - who ended up explaining condoms to her 5-year-old on a crowded New York City subway.
