We're getting intimate, y'all with Intimacy Coach Andre Lazarus as we talk about how past sexual experiences – or inexperiences – may be holding you back from having the sex life you've always wanted. We discuss how to take back control of anything that's caused you shame, ways to feel more confident about your sexual desires, and why it's entirely possible to live a more connected life with deeper intimacy.

Trigger Alert: We touch briefly on sexual traumas including rape, assault, and more.
