    Why Do People Have Sex? The Science and Psychology Behind the Why.

    Why do people have sex? A 2007 study identified 237 distinct reasons humans engage in sexual activity, revealing that our motivations extend far beyond pleasure, love, and reproduction. Researchers grouped these motivations into four major factors and 13 subcategories that help explain the "why" we have sex. In this episode, Lauren unpacks the science behind these four factors and 13 subcategories, exploring how different sexual motivations shape our relationships. You’ll discover what drives your motivation, how your reasons for having sex may differ from your partner’s, and why these differences can create both connection and conflict. By understanding your own sexual motivations, and those of your partner, you can gain valuable insight into your relationship, improve communication around intimacy, and identify practical ways to create a more fulfilling and satisfying sexual connection. ------- Host: Lauren Muratore Get FREE Sex & Relationship advice sent to your inbox.

    When Desire and Arousal Don't Match, Understanding Arousal Non-Concordance with Haley Krenzke

    Why does your body sometimes respond sexually when you don’t actually feel desire, attraction, or consent , and what does that mean for relationships, communication, and intimacy? Alternatively why does your body not respond when you're mentally into the experience? In this episode, Haley Krenzke joins me to unpack arousal non-concordance: something many people experience, and something we regularly hear in clinic. We explore how expectations about how our bodies “should” behave can create confusion, pressure, and disappointment in sex and relationships. Together, we discuss what “normal” actually looks like, how to communicate more openly about desire and consent, and why better sex often starts with removing performance pressure, letting go of rigid expectations, and reconnecting with playfulness and curiosity.

    Why Talking About Sex Is So Hard (And What It’s Costing Your Relationship).

    Why is talking about sex so hard, even in long-term relationships? In this episode, I break down why so many people struggle to talk about sex, what’s really underneath the silence, and how avoiding these conversations quietly erodes intimacy over time. Because it’s not just about sex. It’s about vulnerability, rejection, shame, power, and everything we were never taught how, or allowed to say out loud. I’ll walk you through: Why talking about sex feels uncomfortable (even with someone you love) and reframing this.The hidden fears that stop couples from speaking honestly and how to work through the fear.How sexual communication impacts desire, connection, and satisfaction.Why shrinking will most likely not help you want sex.Questions to ask yourself that help you understand your sexual self and identity.If you’ve ever thought, "this shouldn’t be so hard to talk about", you’re not alone. And more importantly, you’re not stuck. This episode will help challenge the fears, assist you to understand what’s really going on, and give you further deep questions to explore in your own time. ————— Host: Lauren Muratore Get FREE Sex & Relationship advice sent to your inbox.

    From Sex Work to Sex Therapy: The Making of an Expert.

    I didn’t learn about sex in a textbook. I learned it in the real world. Before becoming an accredited clinical sex therapist, I worked in the sex industry as a private independent sex worker (escort). It shaped everything I know about desire, intimacy, and why sex stops working in relationships. And while most people expect that to be a chapter I’d keep quiet on, it’s actually where I learned some of the most confronting truths about desire, power, and performance. In this episode, I’m not here to shock you. I’m here to show you what most people get wrong about sex. Because what happens in the bedroom isn’t just about technique. It’s about psychology, identity, safety, control, and vulnerability. And after a decade in clinical private practice, I can tell you this; the struggles couples face behind closed doors is not that different from what I witnessed long before I had a clinical framework to explain it. This is the story of how I went from living sex, to studying it, to helping people transform it. And why the truth about intimacy is far more uncomfortable and far more powerful than we’ve been taught.
