Episode notes

Vanessa: Most often I do see that we tend to show up in the bedroom in a way that's different from how we are in real life. In your day to day life, you're somebody who has a lot of power, a lot of control. But when it comes to sex, we have to have all our desire or fantasy. Vanessa: Is it because we're ashamed of it? Because, for example, you talked about the ravishing fantasy.

Sex therapist Vanessa Marin is back and we’re digging into: why we’re (sadly and ironically) proven to be less likely to try new things in the bedroom the longer we’ve been partnered; how to spice up your sex life when things get bland – including how to find out and explore your sexual fantasies; how not all orgasms (even for men!) are created equal; and the TikTok sex challenges we should probably pass on.
