Reviving Romance: Exploring Desires Together
This chapter explores ways to maintain passion in a romantic relationship, addressing the challenge of routine and differing desires. It suggests using ethical pornography as a tool for couples to communicate and connect over fantasies in a comfortable and consensual manner.
In this special mashup episode, we dive deep into what it really takes to keep passion alive over the long haul with one of our favorite returning guests: Dr. Alison Ash, aka Dr. Aly. As a trauma-informed intimacy coach, Stanford University lecturer, and founder of TurnON.love, Dr. Aly brings a unique blend of academic insight and real-world tools for sustaining emotional and sexual intimacy.
