Episode notes

Every couple has their own unique ebbs and flows. One of the biggest ebbs in a couple's sex life happens after kids. There weren't huge noticeable differences in how much people are having sex across different age groups, according to study. It does always come back to us being able to ask ourselves if we're feeling satisfied with our connections.

Sex Therapist Vanessa Marin is back on the pod to discuss how we can all make sex more ENJOYABLE. She shares with us:

How we can stop faking our orgasms and experiment with real pleasure;
How to communicate honestly with our partners about what we want in bed; and
Why masturbation can be an opportunity for self-exploration and reclamation.

She also offers empowering advice for individuals recovering from sexual trauma.

Plus, Glennon contemplates writing erotica.
