The Erotic Realm podcast explores eroticism in all its forms, including the darker desires of BDSM and kinky sexuality. It’s mission is to humanise eroticism one erotic realm at a time.
In this episode I’m joined by sex therapist and clinical social worker Caroline Hood to explore female desire, sex and intimacy in long-term relationships.
We explore:
Why sexual desire can change in long-term relationships without disappearing.
Whether “low desire” can actually be a logical response to stress, caregiving, resentment and exhaustion.
The biggest myths we’ve inherited about female desire and spontaneous desire.
What responsive desire gets right — and where we’ve become too rigid with the concept.
How couples can cultivate eroticism, intimacy and desire when life never seems to calm down.
