In this episode of Begin Again, Davina McCall sits down with internationally renowned sex and relationships expert Tracey Cox for a bold and enlightening conversation about the myths that sabotage our most intimate connections.
Tracey shares decades of insight into what really drives desire, why so many couples lose their spark, and how outdated beliefs about sex, orgasms, and aging are quietly damaging our relationships. With honesty, humour, and hard truths, she explains how midlife can be the beginning of your best sex yet — if you’re willing to unlearn what you’ve been taught.
Together, Davina and Tracey explore the psychology of attraction, the silent killers of intimacy, and the emotional blocks that stop us from asking for what we want in bed. They uncover how shame, performance pressure, and unspoken expectations hold us back — and what it really takes to feel empowered, connected, and satisfied.
This is a conversation about rewriting the rules, reclaiming your pleasure, and reimagining what intimacy can look like at any age. Brave, liberating, and packed with wisdom — Tracey’s message is a wake-up call to anyone who wants more from their love life.
