About this episode
Sexologist Alexa Andre ( @sexwithalexa ) sits down with Laura Desirée — absolute stranger, intimacy coordinator and pleasure educator — for an unforgettable conversation about how sex, grief, and shame shape our identities. In this episode, we dive into: What intimacy coordinators actually do on film sets and why they make sex scenes better, not worse Why Hollywood has failed at portraying female pleasure and how it should look instead The messy overlap of grief and sex and how pleasure can become healing The role of kink in teaching care, communication, and boundaries Laura’s experience as an identical twin and how sex became her path to self-discovery Owning shame, embracing vulnerability, and why our “messiest” moments can make us closer to others A hilariously human story of intimacy, trust, and… running out of toilet paper Laura’s raw honesty and fearless approach to sex and pleasure will make you rethink how you see intimacy, on screen and in your own life. ✨ For more uncensored conversations, bonus clips, and behind-the-scenes stories, join me on Patreon .
