Sex Worth Having

The Need To Feel Wanted


Listen Later

When was the last time your partner felt unmistakably wanted by you? And when was the last time you felt wanted by them? In this episode of Sex Worth Having, Clare explores one of the deepest human longings in long-term relationships: the need to feel desired. Many couples still love each other deeply, but somewhere along the way, they stop expressing desire. The relationship becomes focused on schedules, responsibilities, and daily logistics while the erotic connection slowly fades into the background.


You'll learn:

  • Why love and desire are not the same thing
  • How couples unintentionally drift from lovers to roommates
  • Why "evidence of desire" matters more than most people realize
  • How resentment can quietly block attraction and connection
  • A simple question that can help you understand what makes your partner feel wanted


If you want more intimacy, passion, and connection in your relationship, this episode will help you understand why feeling wanted remains essential at every stage of love.
