Nourishing the Mother

NTM 524: Pressure, Predictability and the Death of Desire


Listen Later

So many couples find themselves tangled in the same painful dance: pressure, predictability, and the slow death of desire.

In this episode, we’re unpacking why your sex life isn’t just about sex - it’s the meeting place of both your worlds. Why men often feel sex as devotion (and rejection like a dagger), why women need connection to even want sex, and how survival mode and arousal simply can’t coexist.

We’ll explore how to stop counting acts and start cultivating an erotic climate where your ‘yes’ becomes inevitable - not out of duty, but from deep, authentic desire.
Because your erotic self is still there. Vibrant. Alive. Waiting for you to make space.

 In this episode we discuss:
— Why a man telling a woman how she should experience sex is a dangerous slope
— The kernel of truth that stings (and why it lands)
— How most men feel sex as devotion, and why rejection cuts so deep
— Why your sex life isn’t just his or yours, it’s a shared garden you both must tend
— That sex is anything that makes you feel alive, soft, open, connected - not just penetration
— How pressure and predictability strangle desire
— Why survival always wins over arousal, and what to do if you have responsive desire
— How to stop keeping score and build an erotic climate where your ‘yes’ is inevitable
— And why choosing your pleasure is radical, dismantling the old martyr mother story once and for all
