Desire in Long Term Relationships

Season 1 · Episode 24

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 10:04

In this episode, Andrea explores one of the great paradoxes of love: why sexual desire fades even in relationships filled with affection, loyalty, and trust.

Love and desire play by completely different rules — love craves closeness, comfort, and safety, while desire thrives on distance, curiosity, and mystery.

And yet we expect one person to provide both.

Andrea breaks down how to reignite desire without swapping partners or adding pressure — by reintroducing imagination, autonomy, and play.

Understanding Vaginismus

Season 1 · Episode 23

Thursday, October 8, 2026 • Duration 10:18

In this episode, Andrea explores vaginismus — a condition that affects many women and people with vaginas, but is often misunderstood or hidden behind silence and shame.

Because vaginismus isn’t a flaw — it’s a fear response.

And once the body feels safe again, pain can ease and pleasure can return.

Grief

Season 1 · Episode 22

Thursday, October 1, 2026 • Duration 10:22

In this episode of Conversations We Need To Have, Andrea explores the deeply human experience of grief and bereavement.

While we often associate grief with death, loss can take many forms — the end of a relationship, retirement, illness, changes in health, financial difficulties, or even grieving something we never had in the first place. Drawing on two widely respected grief models, Andrea explains why grief is rarely predictable, why there is no "correct" way to grieve, and how understanding the grieving process can help us offer ourselves and others a little more compassion.

Because grief isn't something we get over — it's something we learn to carry.

ChemSex

Season 1 · Episode 21

Thursday, September 24, 2026 • Duration 11:35

In this episode of Conversations We Need To Have, Andrea explores the complex and often misunderstood topic of chemsex — the use of certain drugs before or during sexual activity to enhance pleasure, connection, and intimacy. Rather than focusing on judgement, this episode looks at the psychological, social, and emotional factors that can make chemsex appealing, particularly within some LGBTQ+ communities. It also explores the risks, the realities of recovery, and why compassion is more effective than shame. Because understanding chemsex means understanding the human need for connection, belonging, and acceptance.

Menopause & Masturbation

Season 1 · Episode 20

Thursday, September 17, 2026 • Duration 07:26

In this episode of Conversations We Need to Have, Andrea opens up an honest, much-needed conversation about masturbation during perimenopause, menopause, and beyond — a topic many people were never encouraged to talk about, yet one that can be genuinely life-enhancing.

If masturbation feels awkward, embarrassing, or “not for you,” this episode gently invites you to pause and stay curious. Because masturbation isn’t just normal during menopause — it can support physical health, emotional wellbeing, sleep, mood, vaginal health, and your relationship with your body.

Andrea explains why sex therapists often recommend regular masturbation during menopause, how hormonal changes affect arousal and sensation, and why pleasure is not indulgent — it’s biological, accessible self-care.

This is a shame-free, practical exploration of how reconnecting with your body can help you feel more comfortable, confident, and at home in yourself during a time of significant change.

Intro to Kink and BDSM

Season 1 · Episode 19

Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Duration 19:07

In this episode of Conversations We Need To Have, Andrea explores the world of kink and BDSM — what it is, what it isn’t, and why conversations about consent, communication, trust, safety, and pleasure matter so much. BDSM is often misunderstood in mainstream culture. Many people assume it’s about pain, abuse, or dysfunction — but healthy BDSM is built on something very different: informed consent, negotiated boundaries, emotional awareness, and mutual respect.

This episode offers a broad, shame-free introduction to BDSM and kink practices, including common terminology, relationship dynamics, fetish culture, community spaces, aftercare, and the role communication plays in ethical kink. Whether BDSM is personally relevant to you or not, understanding it without stigma helps us have healthier conversations about sexuality, intimacy, identity, and human diversity.

Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 03:58

Episode Title: Fantasies: Why They’re Normal, Healthy, and Worth Talking About

In this episode, Andrea opens up a playful, honest conversation about sexual fantasies — the private thoughts that many of us have, but few of us talk about.

Fantasy isn’t a problem to solve — it’s a window into your erotic imagination.

Sexting and Talking Dirty

Season 1 · Episode 16

Thursday, August 20, 2026 • Duration 07:15

In this episode of Conversations We Need to Have, Andrea tackles a topic that makes a lot of people nervous — sexting. If the idea of typing something sexual makes your palms sweat and your brain go blank, you’re not broken — you’re normal. Sexting isn’t instinctive. It’s a learned skill, shaped by culture, confidence, and comfort, and like all sexual skills, it’s awkward before it’s hot. Andrea explores why sexting feels so intimidating, how fantasy and reality can coexist safely, and why there’s no “right” way to sext — only the way that works for you and the person on the other end of the phone.

Love

Season 1 · Episode 15

Thursday, August 13, 2026 • Duration 06:11

In this episode, Andrea explores the messy, meaningful, and ever-evolving nature of love — how it starts, how it changes, and why it’s as much a daily practice as it is a feeling.She unpacks the difference between chemistry and compatibility, the psychology of long-term attachment, and how self-love sets the foundation for every other kind of love we experience.
