#140: How To Enjoy More Sex As You Get Older Ft. Shannon Hamaker

Sex and intimacy can change over the course of a relationship, even when the love between two people is still very much there. In this episode, we’re joined by sex and relationship coach Shannon Hamaker to explore what can sit underneath that disconnect.In This Episode, We Discuss:How the ways we learned to protect ourselves can affect sex, intimacy, and our ability to stay present with a partner.Why pressure around sex can cause the other partner to pull away or go into protection mode, even when they still want closeness and connection.How to talk about what is happening in your body without blaming or criticizing your partner.Why removing pressure and old stories can sometimes do more for intimacy than trying to add date nights, lingerie, or other quick fixes.How planning intimacy can actually build anticipation and connection in a long-term relationship.Shannon also shares her own experience of navigating a libido mismatch in her marriage and what changed when she and her husband stopped trying to manage each other and began taking responsibility for their own patterns, emotions, and nervous systems.#SexAndIntimacy #HealthyRelationships #RelationshipAdvice #EmotionalIntimacy #SexualWellness #NervousSystemRegulation #SomaticHealing #RelationshipHealing #CouplesCommunication #IntimacyInRelationships #HealthyMasculinity #HealthyFemininityWant to work with Bri and/or Courtney?Connect with Bri on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@buildingbricoaching⁠⁠⁠Connect with Courtney on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@courtney_schand⁠⁠⁠Follow the show on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠@thefortheloveofmenpodcast⁠⁠⁠Check out our website:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.fortheloveofmenpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠Looking for deeper support?Check out our Masterclasses:1️⃣ What Your Woman Wants Emotionally And How to Provide It: Unlock the secrets to fulfilling your partner emotionally!
