Foreplay Replay - Autopsy of a Sexless Marriage

In early dating years our partner’s face lights up at the thought of sex, they tell us with their eyes that we make them hot. The gleam in their eyes hits our body, hits our center, hits our being. Feeling that we light up their world is a turn-on!

Secure attachment begins with the loving gaze of our mother or parent – cradled in the crook of their elbow – they smile and coo because we are theirs. Later in childhood we know we belong and make our parents proud when we see it in their eyes… not so much for our accomplishments but because we are their son or daughter. 

In romantic partnership, sexual desire that radiates from our partner’s face and gaze is a powerful reminder of belonging, safety. We revel in being the person who excites our partner.

What happens though when our partner is willing to have sex but doesn’t give us that deep reassurance that we are desirable with a gleam in their eye? Can we get it back? How do we tell them what we need from them to turn on? Listen as George and Laurie get through to each other about how sexual desire is tied to being the gleam in our partner’s eyes.

512: Do You Still Want Me?: How to Talk About Sex as We Get Older

Mailbag!! George and Laurie answer questions from the Foreplay Fam in this week’s episode! They’re talking all about unrequited fantasies, compromise, and vulnerability. Sexual fantasies are extremely common; in fact only 4% of men and 14% of women report NOT having fantasies. A listener talks about a fantasy of an old lover and not being able to get it out of her head. While this one may be a block to emotional connection, fantasies can also be mined for good information about what turns us on. And some partners feel comfortable and like sharing their sexual fantasies as a way to grow learn and get aroused with each other. Sexual improvement requires vulnerability and willingness to talk about your sexual needs. Discuss with your partner what they are comfortable with and address any of their concerns. Compromise is important in any relationship. While we want people to feel respected sometimes we might do something for tour partner out of love in order to just make our partner happy. It’s all about communicating these things! Listen to this week’s mailbag episode now to hear more of your questions answered!

Foreplay Replay - Mailbag! Unrequited Sexual Fantasies, When to Compromise and Being Vulnerable

In today's episode, our hosts are tackling an important and uncomfortable conversation. This episode does contain content regarding sexual trauma and we advise all our listeners to be aware. Sexual trauma doesn't stay in our past, it follows us in the bedroom. It is common for couples that feel safe and committed to one another to experience heightened reactions around sex if sexual trauma is part of the personal history. However, this can be confusing, frustrating and cause stress on a couple that had no apparent issues prior. Join George and Laurie today as they expertly and carefully, discuss how sexual trauma affects couples and their sexual experiences. They will walk you through the signs of sexual trauma and the 5 steps to heal in your relationship. For both partner's in the relationship, there is a role to take in the healing and our hosts want listeners to feel optimistic that healthy relationships can heal traumatic experiences. Laurie reminds us that the grief around these experiences will end and joy and pleasure await on the other side. We can't recommend enough that conversations around this topic require loads of safety, compassion and understanding. We thank you for being brave with us today and everyday!

Foreplay Replay - Laurie's Story

In today's episode we discuss what couples want more hot or heart-centered sex. Prompted by conversations about their upcoming book, George and Laurie define and explore these two types of sexual connection, how they are different and how they are alike. Withdrawers may find the concept of hot sex too pressure filled and back away from the idea while pursuers might gravitate to that concept. However, we discuss that hot sex can often be a benefit of connected sex. There is more attunement and less pressure or judgement to perform. The formula might just be connecting the heart with the hot. We want to know what you think! Make sure to leave a review and share this episode with your love.
