Episode 251: Talking About Sex with Your Partner with Jessica
Talking about sex in a relationship can feel intimidating, especially when pornography use adds another layer of complexity. The vulnerability required to share desires, boundaries, and preferences often triggers fear of rejection and judgment.
In this episode, coach Jessica explores the challenges many couples face when discussing sex, offering practical strategies to navigate these conversations with curiosity and care. She explains why these conversations can feel so difficult, particularly when pornography is involved, and offers a clear framework for approaching them in a way that strengthens connection rather than creating conflict.
You'll learn how to prepare emotionally before initiating a conversation about sex, how to stay regulated when emotions run high, and how to repair and reconnect when things don’t go as planned. Jess emphasizes that the goal isn’t perfection, but building the skills to communicate openly, fostering trust, and making space for both partners to be seen and heard.
