Just because you’re attracted to, or fall in love with someone, it doesn’t mean your sexual styles or desired frequency of sex will be the same. Today’s podcast focuses on how to navigate style and desire discrepancies, to keep intimacy and passion alive.
How to Keep Passion Alive, Even With Desire Differences: Show Notes
Just because you’re attracted to, or fall in love with someone, it doesn’t mean your sexual styles or desired frequency of sex will be the same.
This can be confusing, since most of us weren’t taught much about sex, and this is on the fringes of what gets discussed.
Today’s guest Marc Azoulay, is the founder of Men’s Therapy Online. He has worked with many men who face this challenge, in many different ways. Marc got honest about the style and desire differences in his marriage, and they don’t fall along the common gender stereotypes. Getting to see behind the curtain, into how he and his wife navigate these differences, is gold!
In this honest and important conversation we discussed…
- What you can do when there are discrepancies in sex drives or styles
- The platinum rule — relationships are about treating others how they want to be treated
- The shame barriers to asking for what you want in sex and intimacy
- Understanding one’s own, and another’s needs, as a crucial part of sexual satisfaction and relationship health
- Sex beyond the physical act
- What it takes to have sexual sovereignty
- How one’s ability to feel connected is impacted by societal conditioning
- Breaking the taboo — having open, vulnerable conversations to improve intimacy and pleasure
I think you’ll find Marc’s honesty refreshing and freeing, as you explore how to create a thriving love and sex life.
