Why your female partner or wife isn’t having sex with you, and what you can do about it

from Closeness · host Tari Mannello

Sometimes, the things you aren’t doing in bed can be just as damaging as the things you are. In this episode, we explore 10 key reasons why your wife or girlfriend might not feel inspired to be intimate with you—and more importantly, what you can do to turn things around. Spoiler alert: It’s not about asking for sex or sticking to the same moves you’ve been using for years.  Mindset Matters: How Do You View Sex? One of the biggest turn-offs for women is when men treat sex like something they’re owed or something they can “get” from their partner. Similarly it's a turnoff of men beg or ask for it. If you catch yourself using expressions like, “I haven’t gotten any in weeks,” or thinking sex is something she needs to give you, or you catch yourself asking for it, it’s time to reset your mindset. Women can sense neediness from a mile away. Talking about sex too much, asking repeatedly, or being randomly horny without putting in any effort to open her emotionally or mentally isn’t inspiring—it’s exhausting. Stop Doing What Isn’t Working Relationships aren’t static, and neither is intimacy. What worked in the past—whether it’s moves from 10 years ago or repeating the same patterns—might not work today. Women thrive on variety, connection, and emotional safety. If you’re doing the bare minimum or refusing to evolve, don’t be surprised if her desire fizzles out. Start paying attention to what excites her. Healthy dominance, creativity, and the confidence to lead can reignite that spark. Inspire, Don’t Demand Desire isn’t automatic. Women need to feel seen, appreciated, and inspired to want intimacy. If you’ve done little to build her up emotionally, mentally, or physically, why would she feel turned on? In this episode, you'll learn to be present, take initiative, and understand her unique rhythms to make all the difference. Remember: women can be insatiable sexually when they feel safe and inspired, so have fun and explore!  This episode is packed with actionable advice to help you shift your mindset, ditch bad habits, and create an environment where intimacy flows naturally. If you’re ready to learn how to inspire your partner and become the lover she craves, this one’s for you. Ready to Come Closer?

And even harder to get close to. The funny thing is, the one thing I want more than anything in life is to feel a genuine connection and closeness with somebody who truly understands me. In my later years, I have grown to be more transparent, not just for others, but to help me understand and learn about myself more. I hope this brings clarity.Music from Daniel Radovanovic. Explicit Kinky Yogi Podcast Bryn Wolf Sex, Love and Authenticity: The path of the (kinky) yogi is to dispel shadows of fear and enlighten. Your host, Bryn (The Kinky Yogi), is an Intimacy Coach, Cultural Anthropologist, and long time yoga teacher, who guides you to the edges of what's comfortable and brings light to worlds often left in the dark. This podcast will challenge what you think you know about kink, sexuality, and what it means to be human. Intimate interviews reveal perspectives on vulnerability, closeness, s3x work, and humanity. In the end, we all want to be closer and learn how to live and love authentically. Explicit IF I MAY BE SO BOLD Daniel Epstein If you’re like us, you didn’t grow up in an emotionally honest home. Because of this, having healthy relationships as adults has sometimes felt impossible. On this podcast, be a fly on the wall as we, Dan and Justin (a real life couple), learn how to love each other and ourselves unconditionally. Often it’s messy: we overthink, try to control each other, and fall into old patterns. But each time we work through it, something happens on the other side— more closeness, deepening, humor, and a new understanding of the word “love”.Insta: @iimbsbEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
