How to Hold Space When Your Partner Is Too Tired for Sex

from Sex in Real Life with Stacey Herrera · host Stacey Herrera

This week, we're talking about being better partners when your person doesn't have the bandwidth for sex. What it looks like to hold space without expectations. What it's not. How non-sexual touch builds intimacy and trust. And why both people get to have feelings—disappointment and exhaustion are both valid. When you can say no without being punished, you get to say yes from a place of authenticity.     💌 Subscribe to the Sex IRL Substack: https://www.sexinreallife.com/ Ready to Transform Your Intimate Conversations?
