Summary

Explore the common relational challenge of mismatched sex drives in partnerships, emphasizing that differences in sexual desire are normal and often rooted in individual biology, life stage, or emotional dynamics. Rather than seeking a “right” or “normal” amount of sex, the hosts encourage couples to approach the topic with curiosity, vulnerability, and a willingness to understand one another’s needs. The conversation also challenges common gender-based assumptions about sex and introduces the idea of sexual pursuit and withdrawal patterns as part of a couple’s dynamic. In this episode, we talk about topics such as:  Mismatched Sex Drives Are Normal Sexual Pursuer vs. Sexual Withdrawer Curiosity Over Rigidity Sex as a Form of Regulation vs. Connection Navigating Differences with Vulnerability and Flexibility And more!
