Pleasure Is a Practice: Why Good Sex Doesn’t Just Happen

Even after years of tantra, pleasure work, and healing, you can still find yourself having disconnected sex, obligation sex, or even “Let’s just get it over with” sex. And you’re not broken for that. In this episode, Pleasure Is a Practice: Why Good Sex Doesn’t Just Happen, we pull back the curtain on our own sexual evolution, what we used to believe was “good sex” (think: drunk, performative, porn-scripted), and how it’s now become something radically different.Some other things we tackled are…Slowing down until the nervous system says yesListening to the body instead of chasing orgasmHonouring the grief, rage, or tenderness that arises mid-pleasureGiving and receiving pussy or cock massage without pressureExpanding intimacy through energy, breath, and presence This isn’t about fixing you.  You already know your body is sacred. This is about creating the kind of space where that sacredness gets to be witnessed, met, and fully felt…together. Another thing, if you would like to learn more about Couples Retreats at Phoenix Rising Retreats and/or Private Coaching, book a complimentary Exploratory Call with Kim here - https://calendly.com/talk-to-kim/exploration-call.  Something you might like is that when you book your free call before July 31, 2025, to learn more, you will receive $1000 off a retreat of your choice in 2025!   About us: Kim & Roberto are the co-founders of Phoenix Rising Retreats, and the real-life couple behind the mic.
