The Turned-On Couple Podcast ·

2025/12/20

We’re all on a wild ride together. There’s no question about that. Every part of our lives — including health, politics, cultural norms, and the environment — is in crisis. Depression and anxiety are skyrocketing. I don’t know about you, but it sometimes it feels like life is spinning out of control. When I sit down to write about sex, or speak to a group, a coach, or a client, the question, “Why have sex?” keeps bubbling up. Even in ordinary times it’s important to answer this question, but

Ever wonder what happens in someone else’s bedroom?

Then I’ll break down all nine coaching tips they used on their date night so you can learn from them as well. Thomas and Kelly came to me feeling disconnected, largely because they had been letting their sex life slide. The ripple effect

I won’t say exactly how long cannabis has been in my life, but the release of Dark Side of the Moon and my first joint fell in the same calendar year!I feel like a relic of the past when I remember terminology like doobie, roach clip, and head shop. That was also the year my sexuality came fully into being. Ergo, the idea of combining consciousness-altering substances with sensual pleasure is not new to me.Cannabis is now legalized in many States, taking its rightful seat at the table of other

Ethical Porn: Beyond the Mainstream

The Turned-On Couple Podcast ·

2025/11/08

Watching other people have sex is tucked deep into our DNA. We’re drawn to it out of curiosity, the thrill of voyeurism, the excitement of arousal, and the big-time driver in our human bodies, the desire to procreate. Watching others have sex has signaled the desire to have sex ourselves since time immemorial. As a sex and relationship coach, I see how porn tends to pit partners against each other and lead a couple down the road of sexual shame, secrecy, and mistrust. It doesn’t have to be this

Sexual desire discrepancy in long-term relationships isn’t an anomaly; it’s built into the lifestyle of cohabitation and is pretty much guaranteed to develop at some point within the first couple of years in a new relationship.Desire discrepancy is normal and to be expected, yet it remains one of the most painful and destabilizing challenges a couple must face. This dynamic pits partners against each other in a battle of blame, guilt, and defensiveness. Given the reluctance most couples have to talk

You Can’t Argue Someone into Loving You: Solid Advise...

The Turned-On Couple Podcast ·

2025/10/25

You can’t argue someone into loving you, yet in effect that’s the conflict in which many no-sex or low-sex couples find themselves. Chronic anger around a couple’s sexuality poisons a relationship and stresses their emotional bond. When the higher-desire partner badgers, guilt trips, nags, pouts, barters or begs for sex, they unwittingly turn sex into a commodity to be acquired, an argument to be won. While such pressure tactics may work in the outside world, power struggles in the bedroom only end

Lay Your Heart on the Table: Ten Tips for Sharing...

The Turned-On Couple Podcast ·

2025/10/18

Sex is probably one of the hardest things to discuss with a partner. It’s easy to take things personally because sex is deeply personal. Many couples tell me the only time they talk about sex is usually when there’s tension or a complaint. If a conversation about sex always leads to bad feelings then of course we’ll avoid the subject. There’s another way to talk about sex that is more relaxed, curious and intentional. Confessing our desires and asking for what we want takes courage and trust that

Sex and Grief: The Body’s Healing Wisdom

2025/10/04

Many years ago, a convergence of experiences and losses left me in a state of grief. I cried, I felt sadness, and I rationally accepted life as it was. Yet over the months that followed I felt like I was in a low-grade depression. I spent time with friends and enjoyed day-to-day pleasures, but something inside of me was not moving on.After a few months I went to see a bodyworker who offered massage in addition to other healing modalities. I didn’t share much more with her than my name. She placed

The Art of Sexual Initiation (Part 2): Five Elements...

2025/09/27

In last week’s chapter of The Turned-On Couple, you learned about why it’s important to master the art of sexual initiation. I use the term “art” because with seduction and initiation there’s no formula, no one-size-fits-all script. In Pt 1 of Sexual Initiation, we learned the importance of understanding our partner’s experience and why communication matters. Mastering sexual initiation requires an understanding of desire, attunement, communication, confidence and (yes) disappointment. Let’s look

The Power of Polarity in Your Relationship

2025/09/13

What is polarity?Equal and opposite energies are found in every part of nature. Cause and effect, Yin and Yang, masculine and feminine, initiating and yielding, giving and receiving, leading and following, light and dark. Each opposite plays its role in forming the whole.Most of us flow easily between these roles. One moment we’re following someone’s lead in conversation or agreeing to someone else’s plans for dinner, and the next we’re giving directives to the babysitter or describing how we want

Sex and stress do not make happy bedmates. That’s a biological fact.Human suffering, illness, politics, environmental issues, human rights violations, and finances are just some of our stressors. Bad news often comes at us from all directions; conversations with family and friends inevitably end up processing that bad news. Even in our happy moments, the undercurrent of stress may always be present.Biologically, stress is killing our sex drives. Our emotional and physical stress is activating our

Mismatched desire is the number one challenge my clients bring to me for resolution. Statistically, if you’re part of a couple, there’s an 80% chance you have experienced this or are experiencing this in your relationship right now. “We don’t have sex anymore. I don’t understand why.”These clients don’t feel wanted or desired. And they don’t know what to do about it. It usually starts with accusations that it’s their partner’s fault. Clients blame their lack of sex on their partner’s loss of desire

No matter how dry your sex life is right now, there’s a path forward for you as a couple. Like anything in nature, change is constant; everything has an ebb and flow, an expansion and contraction, a rising and falling. Yet when it comes to sex and intimacy, ebbs and flows leave us feeling confounded and insecure.If you asked 100 couples if they’ve ever been through a sexual drought, 90 percent of them would say “YES.” Children, travel, sickness, stress, distance, and hormones all play their part in

Jealousy: Taming the Beast

2025/08/02

I once sat in on a group conversation about jealousy. The attendees were made up mostly of people in polyamorous and open relationships. For this group, jealousy is an emotion that requires honest investigation to successfully live their chosen relationship models. Those who choose to have multiple partners necessarily need to learn how to manage jealousy by working together with their partners to minimize it. It’s not an easy task, but it’s part of the territory if you want to step outside of the

Shrines, festivals, purification rites, ceremonies, and ancestral veneration all bring meaning to Japanese life and culture. Rituals invite us to go deeper: deeper into the meaning

We are walking, talking, memory machines. We draw information from old memories and apply it to our present-day decisions. Every pleasure to which we’re drawn, every pain we avoid, every relationship dynamic or conflict pulls from these memories to guide our physical and emotional experiences in the present moment.Interestingly, the memories that most impact our adult emotional state took place long ago, when challenging childhood experiences began to form our strategies for surviving in a dangerous
