Sex is one of the most important aspects of a relationship—and yet, for so many couples, it’s one of the hardest topics to talk about. In this episode of Love Isn’t Enough, Dr. John Schinnerer and Joree Rose dive deep into the reasons why couples struggle to communicate about sex, the unspoken beliefs and fears that keep them silent, and how they can start having more open, honest, and fulfilling conversations about intimacy.

We explore:

• The common reasons couples avoid talking about sex (and how this creates distance).

• How cultural conditioning, shame, and past experiences shape our ability to communicate about intimacy.

• The difference between desire, arousal, and connection—and why understanding this matters.

• Practical ways to bring up sex in a way that feels safe, nonjudgmental, and productive.

• Tools to deepen emotional and physical intimacy through open, honest dialogue.

If you and your partner struggle to talk about sex—or if you want to improve the way you communicate about your needs and desires—this episode is for you!
