This podcast addresses the common dynamic in a heterosexual relationship in which the wife doesn’t want and enjoy sex and the husband does. Too often, the focus is placed on labels like “low libido” and “low sex drive” without addressing the root issues including physical and emotional safety, shame, porn use, unintentional pressure, lack of emotional awareness, and many others. I’m Janna Denton-Howes, a Relationship Coach and Sex Educator who has specialized in this one area for the last 7 years, helping thousands of couples create a sex life that both partners can look forward to and genuinely enjoy. I’ve developed Doing It Together (formally known as “Wanting It More”), a unique program offering both men and women the tools, skills, and support to do the work required for a healthy and sustainable intimate life.

The only way through is to slow down, unlearn and heal- not just for your marriage but for your well-being.  It’s understanding safety, not just physically, but emotionally. It’s questioning the model of sex you were handed, instead of trying to perform it better. It’s rebuilding trust with your own body. And, when you’re doing this together, it’s learning how to create a sexual environment that doesn’t require forcing, convincing, or enduring. This is exactly what I talk about in the podcast episode today- why trying harder is often the very thing that makes sex feel worse, not better. Looking for where to start?
