Nourishing the Mother

NTM 535: The Sexiest Thing Your Partner Can Do (Hint: It’s Not in the Bedroom)


Listen Later

What really turns mothers on isn’t roses or lingerie….it’s partnership. It’s not having to carry everything alone, not having to think about one more thing, not feeling swallowed up by kids and needs with no solo time left. In this episode we explore why sharing the load is the ultimate aphrodisiac, how appreciation and acknowledgement fuel intimacy, and why true partnership is so much sexier than performative help. When you feel like it’s not all on you, when you’re a team doing it together, when you trust in each other’s best intentions - that’s where turn on lives.

In this episode we discuss:

- Defining invisible labour: remembering birthdays, meal-planning, emotional holding

- How doing the dishes or handling school emails is foreplay because it reduces resentment and creates space for turn-on

- Why true partnership is hotter than performative help

- The intimacy of “thank you” and “I see what you did”

- How acknowledgement turns everyday tasks into moments of being valued

- Why feeling seen is often the gateway to wanting to be touched

- The difference between “checking the box” sex and “I want you” intimacy

- How nervous system safety and emotional connection unlock desire

- Practical shifts like flirting in the day, slowing down, making sex about connection rather than performance

- Not having to think about something as a turn-on in itself

- The idea of being a team and doing it together as sexy

- Protecting each other’s solo time so you’re not swallowed up by kids and constant needs

- The turn-on of feeling it’s not all on you

- Running with the assumption of your partner’s best notions and intentions as a foundation for intimacy
