About this episode
Listen to this with your partner! So much talk about partner communication I am so excited to talk to Dr. Alexandra Stockwell. We officially met on a panel for sexperts in October 2020! Which are really the only panels I should sit on these days as they are so fun! She is on a mission to change the cultural narrative around long-term relationships from one of stagnation and companionship to the delectable joy a couple can feel when they build passion and excitement to nourish them both. How do you define a “juicy” relationship? Why people compromise in their relationships. Great sex in a long-term relationship is no accident – talk about the myth of why people think it should be easy or not take work. Tips for becoming a better lover. Why did you write “uncompromising intimacy”? There is a couple – late 60’s – early 70s….he watches porn, turns down her advances – she keeps asking for sex…she states she is torn between divorce and suicide……where would you start? So many women fake orgasm – give me your thoughts on that. You have said that “Humans learn by observation or modeling” – I totally fell in love with that statement. How does that apply to your work? We were talking in January about a stat that 49% of women in their 50s stop having sex – then we had to nerd out and look that up. What do we tell women in their 40s/50s about the next decade of life with their spouse? People are afraid to talk about sex – but it is the vulnerability and communication that actually builds intimacy – people feel entitled to intimacy without doing the hard work. Underneath every complaint is a desire. How to have sex like a woman! Okay, tell us about your programs, how to find/follow you and get your book! Uncompromising Intimacy: Turn your unfulfilling marriage into a deeply satisfying, passionate partnership. https://amzn.to/2UCQZmA The Marriage Podcast with Dr. Alexandra Stockwell: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marriage-podcast/id1548060690 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kj-casperson/message Learn more about your ad choices.
