In episode 2, Sarah discusses how the coital imperative can negatively influence heterosexual relationships when women experience low libido. Sarah explains what the coital imperative means and uses author, Emily Nagoski's interpretation of how sexual desire can be different for everyone and societal beliefs have made us feel that if we do not initiate sexual spontaneity, something must be wrong with us.

This is a must listen to episode for women who are feeling inadequate and shamed if they are experiencing low libido in a heterosexual relationship.
