  • Episode 121: When She Wants It More: Navigating Mismatched Libidos When The Woman Has A Higher Drive

    Are you a woman who wants sex more than your male partner? All we see on TV, movies, and social media is men wanting it more, so if that’s not the case in your relationship, you may feel like something is horribly wrong.

     

    But after polling our community, we found that almost half of male-female relationships have this dynamic! That has even been the case for us in seasons of our relationship.

     

    We’re here to remove the shame, show you how normal it is for the woman to want sex more often, and tell you what to do to balance your libidos. Because mismatched sex drives - regardless of who has the higher drive - don’t need to be a dealbreaker.

     

    In this episode you’ll learn:

    • Real life responses from men and women about how higher female libido affects them
    • The 4 ways couples accidentally make things worse
    • The single most overlooked step that could make a world of difference

  • Episode 119: Jealousy In Relationships: Why Do We Get Jealous, And What Do We Do About It?

    Jealousy is one of the most difficult emotions to face, and it feels even trickier when it comes up in your romantic relationship. It’s such a common feeling to have, but it’s also so challenging to even acknowledge.

  • Episode 118: The Foreplay Episode: The 5 Things We’re All Getting Wrong

    Foreplay? More like the BEST way! Today we’re talking about the part of sex that never gets the credit it deserves - foreplay!

     

    Foreplay is the number one way to get your partner to orgasm, and one of the best ways to create more intimacy, connection, and excitement. With all those benefits, why aren’t we doing it more often? 88% of men and 59% of women say they want more! But 67% of women feel like they’re “too needy” for wanting foreplay, 56% say they struggle to receive it, and 62% say foreplay feels boring or awkward. With numbers like that, we know you can relate!

     

    In today’s episode, we lay out the 5 things we’re all getting wrong about foreplay, how to have more, and how to make it better than ever.

  • Episode 115: Grief And Sex: Loving Each Other Through A Loss

    How do you maintain intimacy while grieving?

    We’ve had many requests to create this podcast episode, and to be honest, we resisted because the topic felt so heavy. But then we experienced our own loss - our beloved companion, Winston the pug. Suddenly, we were trying to figure out how to navigate sex and grief in our own relationship.

     

    In this incredibly vulnerable episode, we share our experience of mourning. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, but we hope our story can help others on the same path. With insights from our community, we explore various approaches to intimacy, recognizing the complexities and intensity of this experience. Tune in to discover how to honor individual grieving processes while finding solace and connection amidst the sorrow. We may be tearful and still in the healing process, but there is still joy to be had, and we’re here to help you find it.

  • Episode 114: Can We Come Back From This? Part 2: Even More Relationship Make Or Break Moments

    Has your partner ever done or said something painful, leaving you wondering, “Can we come back from this?” Sometimes you need an outside party to either guide you and your partner through moving past the hurt, or to validate that the relationship can’t survive the blow.

     

    Prepare yourself to hear some pretty spicy takes as we examine each situation and get real about when to talk it out, when to just plain walk, and how to know the difference. Because while we fully support communication and forgiveness, we also advocate the enforcement of boundaries, intention, and respect.

     

    Tune in to the episode, then meet us over on IG and let us know if you agree with our advice or have your own hot take!

  • Episode 112: Creating A Shortcut To Intimacy With Compliments

    Compliments. They sound like such a small act but they can make such a huge difference in the intimacy of your relationship.

     

    But for most couples, compliments are surprisingly hard to come by! Maybe you’ve never been good at receiving them, so now your partner doesn’t feel it’s worth the effort. Maybe your family never gave compliments when you were growing up, so you’re uncomfortable with them. Or maybe you’ve simply forgotten how sweet they can be!

     

    We’re here to help you figure out what your partner wants to hear, and how to move past the blockages that leave you tongue tied. Our tips will create little moments of happiness and gratitude in your relationship, and remind you what you love about each other. This compliment roadmap is also the perfect soundtrack to play in the background, allowing your partner to "accidentally" overhear our tips.

     

    Warning: this episode can cause butterflies, excessive kisses, and possible trips to the nearest bedroom.
