Episode notes

Is it the sex act that brings us closer or is it actually just entering into the scary vulnerable, relevatory place with each other? Vulnerability is what makes us feel close to each other. It's what makes us fall in love with each other. And that's something that we forget in long-term relationship. We know I'm going to feel super vulnerable with this new person. Maybe they won't like what they see. But that's how we fall in love.

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.

For our previous conversations with Vanessa, check out: Episode 195 Sex Talk & That Night in Miami: Sex Therapy with Vanessa Marin and Episode 196 How Glennon & Abby Learned to Talk Dirty with Vanessa Marin.
