What does it really take to have better sex—and why were so many of us never taught how? In this episode of Let’s Talk Love, Robin sits down with Dr. Nicole McNichols, internationally renowned human sexuality professor and author of You Could Be Having Better Sex, to unpack the myths and shame around sex that shape our relationships.

Together, they explore how pleasure, sexual communication, and emotional safety are learnable skills, why understanding how our bodies work matters, and how small, practical shifts can transform intimacy over time. They also talk about masturbation, sexual mindfulness, navigating insecurity, and the power of creating “intimacy dates” to rebuild connection.

Consider this your permission slip to learn, unlearn, and build a sex life that actually feels good to you.  This is possible for all of us!
