Why does sex feel so hard sometimes—especially when you’re tired, touched out, or just not in the mood? In this honest, judgment-free convo, Dr. Mamina, Dr. Lindsey, and Dr. Jenny sit down with licensed sex therapist and bestselling author Vanessa Marin to unpack what’s really behind low desire, awkward initiation, the “bristle reaction,” and more.

🎧 Topics include:

Why “spontaneous” desire is a myth for most people
