Episode notes

This chapter discusses the significance of talking about sex in relationships and emphasizes that it is not a sign of a problem but rather a vital aspect of maintaining a strong and satisfying sexual connection. It explores challenges that can hinder pleasure and intimacy in relationships and shares strategies for rekindling desire and connection through open communication and embracing pleasure.

Sex educator Emily Nagoski reveals how to sustain passionate intimacy over the long haul with research from her groundbreaking new book, Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections.

She explains why pleasure trumps desire, how stress impacts connection, and the importance of open communication about desires. Emily offers practical steps to invite more pleasure into relationships as bodies change, and rejects cultural grind in favor of ease. Her insights on nourishing intimacy through pleasure can enrich partnerships when we center what truly matters.
