Rekindling Intimacy: The Role of Curiosity in Relationships

Welcome to Episode 441 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I'm excited to be joined by Dr. Alexandra Stockwell who speaks to me about cultivating intimacy in long-term relationships, navigating sexless marriages, and reigniting erotic connection between partners.

In this episode, we explore what truly keeps the spark alive in long-term relationships and why the common advice of compromise may actually undermine deep connection. Dr. Stockwell introduces her approach of Uncompromising Intimacy, which champions full self-expression over self-suppression in partnerships. 

Alexandra Stockwell, MD, aka “The Intimacy Doctor,” is widely known for her ability to catalyze immediate and profound shifts in high achieving couples who want it all–genuine emotional connection, sensual passion, and erotic intimacy. 

A physician coach and Intimate Marriage Expert, Dr. Alexandra is the best-selling author of “Uncompromising Intimacy,” creator of the Aligned & Hot Marriage program,  host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, a wife of 28 years and a mother of 4. Couples who work with her discover the key to passion, fulfillment, intimacy, and success isn’t compromise–it’s being unwilling to compromise--because when both people feel free to be themselves, the relationship is juicy, erotically alive, and deeply nourishing.
