  • Excellent Show; excellent hosts

    This podcast has been so helpful to me in navigating a history of challenges in a long term monogamous relationship. I especially appreciate the focus on attachment, emotional literacy and security and pursuer/ avoidant dynamics.

    Thanks so much & keep up the great work.

  • Good sometimes Not so good others

    This podcast is alright. I hate how the hosts like to say other people are being close minded towards sex, but then only see how they view sex as “the right way.” Not everyone is as into sex as say the host Lori. That’s their right. Not every one wants and/or is happy to compromise themselves, for the pleasure of their partner. Like this oral sex episode. Not everyone likes oral sex! They may examine why and get deeper and still wind up.. not liking it. No one is wrong or right in a situation li... more

  • Low desire partners beware

    This podcast diminishes the pain and reality of low desire partners. A groundbreaking study by Dr Cami Hurst which included 1300 participants revealed that low-desire can often be the result of many years of concentual-yet-unwanted (yes that is a thing) ‘duty sex’ by women in an effort to avoid negative reactionary responses by their partners, ie: sulking, coercion…basically anything that happens after the ‘NO’

    After many years of this unhealthy dynamic, women not only experience PTSD symptoms,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

534: The Unconscious Life of Sexuality
Q: Where would you like to start when exploring a client's internal conflicts about sex?
Juliane suggests starting with normalization and then widening the lens to examine the couple's emotional ecosystem, attachment patterns, and early experiences, since desire emerges from the relational context rather than occurring in isolation.
534: The Unconscious Life of Sexuality
Q: Okay. Have you ever been curious about what low desire is also telling us about our partner, or about ourselves?
Juliane explains that low desire often signals deeper emotional or relational issues rather than being a simple sexual problem, and she emphasizes exploring the broader context of the relationship to understand what the lack of desire might reveal about attachment, safety, and unresolved tensions.
Foreplay Replay - Affair Recovery
Q: How can couples create emotional safety when re-engaging sexually?
Designing a re-engagement trip and discussing fears on paper can create emotional safety and help manage expectations about sexual intimacy.
Foreplay Replay - Affair Recovery
Q: What questions should couples ask when recovering from an affair?
Couples should focus on meaning-oriented questions about emotional needs and what was missing in their relationship before the affair, rather than on explicit sexual details.
Foreplay Replay - 52 and Needing Blue
Q: Would you be telling him to curtail some of his porn use?
Yes, I would advise him to consider reducing his porn use and focus more on his relationship with his wife.
