Desire Mismatch: When One of You Wants More

Every couple knows the ache of mismatched desire — when one of you is longing for more intimacy, while the other feels pulled back or pressured.

In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we share how to reframe desire mismatch from a source of conflict into an opportunity for deeper connection, presence, and intimacy.

 

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why mismatched desires don’t mean your relationship is broken and how to see them as an invitation.
• Why honouring the cycles reduces shame.
• How stress or safety influences your ability to feel aroused.
• What is the hidden emotional toll of rejection and pressure when a desire mismatch goes unspoken
• Why intimacy takes practice and the simple daily rituals that reconnect you outside and inside the bedroom.

 

Desire mismatch isn’t the end. It can be the doorway into more truth, more trust, and more erotic aliveness.

Kim is a teacher, speaker, and Bestselling Author, bringing years of trauma-informed, professionally certified Intimacy, Relationship & Tantra coaching experience to the podcast mic... 

And Roberto joins her side, sharing his grounded masculine insight, hard-knocks inspired wisdom, and a refreshing no-BS perspective on what it actually takes to show up in love.

They’re here to tell the truth about what it means to build sacred partnership- not the filtered, social-media version, but the real, raw, beautifully messy kind that actually lasts.
