Sex can be a fantastic way to connect and build intimacy, but it is also a common trigger of disagreement, hurt or conflict. Vanessa, a Licensed Sex Therapist, and her husband Xander, join us on the podcast to give you concrete, shame-free sex and intimacy tips. They chat about sex in a way that feels light, shame-free and simple. We know this episode will help spark conversations about sex with your partner to help you connect more sexually and emotionally! 
Vanessa and Xander - affectionately referred to as "that sex couple" by their followers - are here to help you create the sex life you secretly want. Vanessa is a licensed psychotherapist who studied human sexuality at Brown University and Xander is a regular dude who left a cushy career in Tech once he realized it was more fun to talk about sex with his wife all day. Together, they have the unique ability to make you laugh while giving you the courage to talk about sex and relationships in ways you never have before!
