Intimate Moments

Life as a two, no taboo and no jargon. Every week, Clara and Julian take one thing every long-term couple runs into: desire that has gone quiet, the roommate phase, a new baby, the mental load, distance, screens. We name the problem in your own words, explain why it happens, and leave you with three or four concrete moves to try this week. Short episodes, warm tone, never explicit. The podcast from pleasurepulse.eu.
