Hey friend! When you think of s*xual desire, what comes to mind? If it’s a sudden, out-of-nowhere wave of horniness that feels like a chocolate craving—you're not wrong. That’s one form of desire… but it’s not the only one.

In this episode of The Road to Happiness Podcast, Josh & Cassie dive into Chapter 9 of their book Feeling Sexy: A Christian Woman’s Guide to Sexual Confidence & Desire, and introduce you to a powerful concept that changes everything: Receptive desire.

While spontaneous desire often shows up like “I want s*x right now,” receptive desire is quieter, more slow to grow—and just as holy. It’s the willingness to lean in, say yes to connection, and allow intimacy to grow in the moment. And guess what? Receptive desire is not only normal—it’s more common than you think, especially for women (and lots of men too!).

In this episode, Josh (certified Christian s*x therapist) and Cassie discuss:

• The difference between spontaneous and receptive desire
• Why both are equally valid—and equally important in marriage
• How to recognize your own desire style and communicate it with your spouse
• Why honoring your wiring can lead to more freedom, intimacy, and connection

Whether your desire shows up loud and spontaneous or quiet and receptive, it’s all beautifully valid and part of how God wired you. Understanding your desire style—and your spouse’s—can bring so much clarity, compassion, and connection to your marriage. 

Key Takeaways:

• Desire doesn’t have to be instant to be real
• Receptive desire is relational, holy, and often overlooked
• Your desire style might not match your spouse’s—and that’s okay
• Intimacy grows when we learn to honor how God uniquely wired us

Ready to tune in to your own desire with fresh understanding and freedom? This episode is your permission slip to embrace your s*xual design with confidence and clarity. 💖
