Bonus Episode! Valentine's Day Is Ruining Your Sex Life

from Sex, Here & Now · host sexhereandnow

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about romance, connection, and great sex. So why does it leave so many people feeling pressured, disappointed, or disconnected? In this episode, I unpack why Valentine’s Day wrecks so many sex lives. From unrealistic expectations and comparison culture to obligation sex and performative intimacy, we explore how a holiday meant to celebrate love often ends up doing the opposite. You’ll learn why pressure kills desire, how social media distorts intimacy, and why good sex cannot be scheduled by the calendar. This episode is for anyone who has ever felt behind, broken, or like they were doing relationships wrong on February 14th. Whether you are single, partnered, or polyamorous, this conversation invites you to step off the script and redefine intimacy on your own terms. Because Valentine’s Day is not a performance, and intimacy is not something you prove. New episodes drop weekly! Sign up for my online class here You can now watch the full video podcast on YouTube!
