Why We Avoid Talking About S3x (And How to Start)
Conversations about sex often feel awkward, avoidant or emotionally loaded. I talk about what’s happening underneath the surface, how gender myths and pressure shape desire, and what couples can do to reconnect with honesty and care.
In this episode, I share :
- How emotional safety shapes intimacy
- What’s really behind avoidance in long-term relationships
- Gender myths and pressure in sexual desire
- Why non-sexual connection matters
- How to talk about sex without shame or fear
- When therapy might help
