    Pleasure Without Pressure: Rethinking What Good Sex Looks Like

    We’ve inherited so many ideas about what sex should look like — who should initiate, what arousal should look like, how sex should end, and what counts as “good” sex. But what if a lot of these expectations are creating pressure rather than pleasure? In this episode, Zoe explores some of the culturally entrenched narratives around sex and why shifting our focus away from performance, outcomes and expectations can open up a much more expansive experience of sexual pleasure. Zoe also covers the science of sex: Different types of desires The Orgasm Gap & the elusive ‘G-Spot’ Arousal Non-concordance The Dual Control Model *Apologies for my voice - I was so congested when I recorded this epi!

    When Reassurance Makes Things Worse

    Reassurance is undoubtedly one of the most valuable ingredients in helping a partner feel secure and loved. But sometimes the thing we say because we love our partner and want to make things better, is exactly what makes them feel worse. So in moments of emotionality, what if leading with reassurance is actually getting in the way of our partner feeling understood? In this episode, Zoe explains why we jump to reassurance so quickly and what we can do instead to ensure our partner feels heard.
