S3 Ep105 - Reigniting Passion: What Really Works (Hint: It’s Not Opening the Relationship) with Dr. Diane Mueller from My Libido Doc

Love, libido & longevity—can they all exist together?In this soulful conversation with Dr. Diane Mueller (aka my libido doc), we’re busting the myth that long-term relationships kill passion. From healing performance pressure to navigating shame-free communication, we explore what it really takes to reignite desire in committed love.

We also unpack the growing trend of open relationships—and whether they’re truly a solution for fading intimacy. Plus: how novelty, nervous system safety, and small shifts in how we touch and talk can create big waves of pleasure.

If you’re craving more spark, depth, and orgasmic connection with your partner—but want it to feel real, not performative—this episode is your permission slip.

🎧 Tune in to learn:– Why libido often fades in long-term love (and what to do about it)– How to bring novelty and curiosity back to your sex life– The truth about open relationships as a fix– How pleasure evolves—and why that’s not a bad thing– What actually helps you feel safe enough to surrender

YesNoMaybe Checklist: MySexDoc.com

The Yes, No, Maybe Checklist is a fun, engaging way to discover what lights you and your partner up. Each partner independently marks “Yes” for activities they’re eager to try (e.g., scheduling a sensual date night), “No” for those they’re not comfortable with (e.g., specific positions that feel off-limits), and “Maybe” for possibilities to explore together (e.g., introducing novelty like role-play). With over 100 carefully curated items—spanning sensual touch, creative positions, communication techniques, and passion-boosting ideas like those in Dr. Diane’s Hot Monogamy Club—this checklist helps couples navigate desire mismatches, reignite excitement, and build trust. It encourages notes on preferences (e.g., giving vs. receiving) and physical or emotional limits, ensuring every step feels safe and consensual.
