E247: Our Recent Foreplay Discoveries (and how to explore more)


Listen Later

We’ve been experimenting more in our own bedroom lately, and in today’s episode, we’re pulling back the covers on what we’ve discovered.


The things that surprised us. The moments that felt a little vulnerable. And the small shifts that brought a big boost of curiosity and connection.


Exploration doesn’t have to mean doing anything extreme or intimidating. If you love the idea of trying something new but feel stuck on how to actually bring this into your real-life sex life, don’t worry. We’re breaking down exactly how to make exploration feel intentional, low-pressure, and actually fun.


💛 In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • What “exploration” really means (and what it doesn’t).

  • Why new doesn’t have to mean wild — it can mean slower, softer, or more intentional.

  • How to talk about trying new things outside the bedroom first.

  • Why removing pressure makes experimentation way more enjoyable.

  • How to create playful structure with curiosity nights and King/Queen roles.

  • How laughing things off builds safety and trust.

  • Why exploration is an ongoing mindset, not a one-time fix.

  • Our recent bedroom discoveries — including pillows, fingers, and subtle shifts in sensation.

    If you’re in a season where sex feels predictable, disconnected, or a little stale, this episode is a reminder that you don’t need a total overhaul.

    Sometimes curiosity is enough to open the door again.
