Episode 230 - Sex Isn't A Drive Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

Have you heard the phrase "sex drive"? I'm sure we all have. But in truth, sex isn't a drive, it's a mindset. Why is this important? Because when we think that we need it, or should need it, it becomes a release rather than a way to get closer to our spouse. Listen to this episode to find out what a biological drive actually is, and why it is so important to know that if you don't want sex, you aren't broken.

Episode 229 - Duty Sex Sep 09, 2022

Show notes

What is duty sex? Duty sex is when we have sex with our husbands because we "should." Because it is our duty as a good wife. Because he "needs" it. Because we don't want him to look elsewhere for it. Or because we are trying to manage his emotions and behavior with it. We have been convinced that we don't have to want it too. And this simply isn't true! Duty sex is passionless and doesn't create the connection that either of you want. So, how do we stop having duty sex? It isn't an easy process but in this episode, I'll share with you the two steps to take to fix it.

Episode 223 - Silent Sex Jul 29, 2022

Silence can be good, if it's a comfortable silence. But when we are uncomfortably silent with our partner, especially in the bedroom, we lose the intimacy that is so important in our relationship.

Show notes

Has your partner ever asked what you wanted in bed, or what felt good, or what you wanted to do next, but you had no idea what to tell him? You are not alone.

In this podcast episode, let's talk about how to find out what you want in bed. It may just help you in all aspects of your life.
