In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Green, a licensed marriage and family therapist and clinical sex therapist with over 20 years of experience, for an honest, grounded conversation about sex, shame, communication, kinks, and intimacy in long-term relationships.

We explore why so many couples struggle to talk about sex, how cultural and religious conditioning creates lasting sexual shame, and why fantasies don’t always mean action. Carrie breaks down how to communicate desires without overwhelming your partner, how to approach sex toys in a healthy way, and why honesty early in relationships matters more than trying to be “easygoing” or sexually adventurous.

We also dive into:

• Why women often fake orgasms and how couples can repair trust after the truth comes out
• Sexual incompatibility, open relationships, and when misalignment is a dealbreaker
• Whether kinks come from trauma (and what research actually shows)
• How to support female pleasure without pressure or performance
• Why foreplay starts long before the bedroom

This episode is practical, compassionate, and deeply normalizing. If you want clearer communication, more intimacy, and less shame around sex, this conversation delivers.
