Do you long for the days when you loved sex? Miss the lusty new relationship energy that made you never want to get out of bed? Do you worry you will never enjoy sex again? If so, you are not alone – we hear every day from people with versions of this question: is great sex a thing of the past? Will I ever love sex again?
When we opened up the tool to share your wins, breakthroughs and aha! moments with us (Share your wins here!) one of the first responses to come in was about asking this question and finding Speaking of Sex Podcast Episode #160, originally published in January 2016. We were so moved by this story and loved the episode when we re-listened, so wanted to share it again as an encore episode.

🎤 Speaking of Sex Podcast Episode on Intimacy
★ We are pro-love and pro-intimacy in ALL of it’s forms – so we love this moving tribute to the power of really beautiful friendship.
★ This French cartoonist captures delightful moments of intimacy and connection.
We are forever grateful for all of the teachers and ancestors in our erotic lineage. We work towards being the Youngest Ancestors in this noble line of loving souls.
★ We will forever be grateful for the work of Black lesbian feminist hero Audre Lorde. Here is a newly updated recording where she reads the essay The Uses Of The Erotic As Power, and shares teachings that are at the core of everything we do. We listen to this several times a year to be reminded of our purpose. “For the erotic is not a question only of what we do; it is a question of how acutely and fully we can feel in the doing.” ~ Audre Lorde
★ A bright mind pushing back on the confines of his privilege, Foucault offered frameworks for understanding power, language and identity that are essential for paving a path to erotic liberation. “There are forms of oppression and domination which become invisible – the new normal.” ~ Michel Foucault
★ Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld is the most influential person in the sexuality field that you’ve probably never heard of. His story is simply amazing, and needs to be made into a soaring biopic soon. In the mean time, listen to this podcast about this early intellectual activist whose library was one of the very first target of Nazi book burnings. Much was lost in those burnings, but, thankfully, not his legacy.
★ Dr. Jack Morin, sex therapist and author
