Get Your Sexy Back

Desire Mismatch: When One of You Wants More

Episode Notes

Every couple knows the ache of mismatched desire — when one of you is longing for more intimacy, while the other feels pulled back or pressured.

In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we share how to reframe desire mismatch from a source of conflict into an opportunity for deeper connection, presence, and intimacy.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why mismatched desires don’t mean your relationship is broken and how to see them as an invitation.
• Why honouring the cycles reduces shame.
• How stress or safety influences your ability to feel aroused.
• What is the hidden emotional toll of rejection and pressure when a desire mismatch goes unspoken
• Why intimacy takes practice and the simple daily rituals that reconnect you outside and inside the bedroom.

Desire mismatch isn’t the end. It can be the doorway into more truth, more trust, and more erotic aliveness.
