Listen Later

Bringing up boredom in your sex life can feel like walking through a minefield. In this episode of The Roadmap to Secure Love, Kim and Kyle explore how to talk securely about boring sex with your partner—without triggering shame, defensiveness, or disconnection.

Many couples experience seasons where intimacy feels mundane or uninspired. But trying to address spicing up sex can lead to misunderstandings or hurt feelings. This episode offers a compassionate, attachment-based approach to navigating the “we are having boring sex” conversation with care and connection.

💬 Challenges we explore:

  • Why even loving couples struggle to talk about boring sex
  • How shame, trauma, and societal scripts shape sexual communication
  • Why the “compliment sandwich” often does not help 
  • What to do when your partner hears your desire for different types of intimacy as a rejection

❤️ Key takeaways:

  • Speak from your emotional and attachment needs, not performance critiques
  • Normalize the reality of mundane sex while making space for curiosity
  • Create emotional safety before exploring new sexual desires
  • Reframe sexual exploration as a shared journey—not a personal failure

This episode is perfect for couples wanting to reconnect, therapists supporting relational healing, or anyone ready to move toward more secure and satisfying intimacy.
