The Pleasure Principles with Dr Jordin Wiggins

#183 Why Successful Women End Up in Sexless Marriages & What to Do About It


Listen Later

The high-achieving women that I work with fall into two groups. Low desire and checked out because intimacy has become a performance, a task, a source of resentment. Or high desire and confused because sex is one of the only ways they feel close, but their emotional needs aren’t being met. And then they’re blamed for wanting it too much.

No matter which group you're in, you're trapped. And it’s invisible unless you know what to look for.

On the surface, it looks like a libido issue. But what we’re really talking about is emotional labor, power dynamics, and a nervous system that no longer feels safe. Whether it’s vacation-only sex or craving touch from someone who doesn’t meet you emotionally, your body is trying to protect you.

I’ll walk you through real client examples of what this looks like and why women who have it all are still unfulfilled in intimacy. These women don’t need more communication tips. They need nervous system safety, emotional equity, and relationships where they can finally let go.

If you've tried therapy, the books, the hormone panels, and you’re still wondering what’s wrong with you, this is your episode.

You are not broken. You are burned out. And your body is smarter than you think.
