How Holiday Stress Can Build Sexual Arousal: Anxiety, Surprise & Sneaky Tricks
In this festive 25-minute Christmas episode of The Partnership Podcast, Lauren and Trey dive into the surprising role anxiety plays in arousal—especially during the holidays. They explore how visiting your childhood home can be a turn-on or turn-off, and the three key moments that can make you desire your partner more: missing them, seeing them in their element, or being surprised by them.
They also share hilarious and sexy stories about sneaking away for private moments (like a stinky NYE bathroom and slipping into a hotel conference room—no breaking and entering, promise!). Learn how taking risks and trying something new together can reignite passion in long-term partnerships.
Plus, get their tips for sneaky holiday play, titrating eroticism, and expressing your true needs, wants, and desires during the seasonal chaos. Lauren and Trey wrap up with practical ways to co-regulate with your partner through breathwork amidst holiday stress.
Tune in for laughs, insights, and a fresh perspective on keeping intimacy alive this holiday season!
