Why does sex feel so hard sometimes—especially when you’re tired, touched out, or just not in the mood? In this honest, judgment-free convo, Dr. Mamina, Dr. Lindsey, and Dr. Jenny sit down with licensed sex therapist and bestselling author Vanessa Marin to unpack what’s really behind low desire, awkward initiation, the “bristle reaction,” and more.
Whether you’re burned out, postpartum, or just not feeling it—this episode is your reminder: you’re not broken, and you’re definitely not alone.
🎧 Topics include:
Why “spontaneous” desire is a myth for most people
What to do when one partner always initiates
How mental load kills intimacy
Real answers to real questions about sex
