It's getting hot in here – as we chat about sex, intimacy, and why talking about sex could be the key to having the love life you've always wanted. Whether you wish you were having more or happy with the way things are, single or partnered up – it doesn't matter – we're diving into it all with sex therapist Vanessa Marin and her husband Xander. We discuss what really goes on behind closed bedroom doors for couples, how to talk about sex in early dating without being creepy, and why talking about sex doesn't have to be scary (and can actually be sexy!). 

Learn more about Vanessa and Xander at: https://sextalksbook.com/ and check out their book 'Sex Talks: The 5 conversations that will transform your love life' today.
