EPISODE 197: Ask A Sex Therapist - Resentment, Sexual Frustration, And The Death Grip


Listen Later

Ever wish you had a sex therapist on speed dial? We get so many questions every week (because you guys are THE BEST) that we just can’t get to them all—so today, we’re dedicating an entire episode to answering your biggest intimacy and relationship dilemmas.


From navigating mismatched libidos to handling awkward bedroom moments, we’re here to break it all down with practical, shame-free advice.


In This Episode, We Cover:


💬 How to address it when your partner gropes you in their sleep

🧼 Balancing household chores with a partner who wants affection right now

😩 What to do if your partner struggles with death grip

😔 Bouncing back after a disappointing sexual experience

😤 Is “sexual frustration” really a thing?

🔄 How to stop being defensive in your marriage



🚨 NEW FREE Guide! 🚨

Ever struggle with how to start intimacy? We joke a lot about bad initiation styles (hello, awkward boob grabs) but we want to help you find what actually works. That’s why we created a brand-new FREE guide to help you figure out your initiation style—so you and your partner can create a spark your way.
