306. How Often Should Married Couples Have Sex?04 Nov 202600:14:46

How often should you be having sex in a marriage? Once a day, once a week, once a month? The answer isn't about hitting a magic number. It's about whether both partners feel satisfied, connected, and genuinely fulfilled.

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores what happens when partners want different amounts of sex, and why the conversation needs to start with honesty rather than blame. Neither partner is responsible for sacrificing their needs or managing the other person's feelings. Lasting change starts with understanding what each person truly wants and finding a way forward together.

Alexandra also shares why the way you initiate sex matters so much. If you want your partner to say yes, the goal is to create an invitation that feels exciting and appealing, not to ask them to rescue you from disappointment or rejection. Confidence, warmth, enthusiasm, and positive energy make a real difference.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • How to define a healthy sexual frequency for your relationship

  • Why expressing your desires is an act of vulnerability, not blame

  • How emotional connection and fulfilling sexual experiences encourage desire

  • Why the energy you bring to initiating sex matters

  • How to make your invitation feel good to receive

  • What men can learn from Alexandra's masterclass on asking for sex

If you want more intimacy, start by getting clear on what you want and creating an experience your partner genuinely wants to share.

304. How to Transform your Marriage with Intimacy Dates21 Oct 202600:18:24

When life gets busy, intimacy can easily become something couples only think about when they're having sex. In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD introduces the concept of intimacy dates: intentional time set aside to cultivate emotional, sensual, physical, and erotic connection without the pressure or expectation that it has to lead to sex. 

Alexandra explains why decoupling intimacy from sex creates more safety, relaxation, playfulness, and desire, and shares practical ideas for creating intimacy dates that fit your relationship, energy levels, and personality. She also explains how these small, consistent moments of connection can have a compounding effect, creating more tenderness, vulnerability, and joy in your marriage.

303. How to have Better Orgasms with your Husband14 Oct 202600:25:25

Having stronger, more satisfying orgasms has nothing to do with your age. It’s about understanding your body, your relationship, and what actually works for you now.

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell, MD answers a question from a woman who wants to know how to teach her husband to create the kind of intimacy and orgasms she experienced when she was younger. Her answer goes far beyond what happens in the bedroom.

Alexandra breaks the process into three essential areas: cultivating emotional intimacy before sex, slowing down and becoming more attuned to the body during sex, and taking responsibility for your own physical and sexual awareness. She explains why women often need more time to warm up, why moving from the periphery toward the center matters, and how experimenting with edging can expand the intensity of orgasmic experiences.

She also emphasizes the importance of knowing your own body. Understanding what feels good, where you like to be touched, and how you respond gives you the ability to communicate with your partner clearly and confidently.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- Why emotional intimacy sets the stage for sexual intimacy

- How to create more time and space for arousal

- Why confidence and attunement matter inside and outside the bedroom

- How edging can expand erotic energy and orgasmic intensity

- Why knowing your own body makes communication with your partner easier

- How physical and physiological health factor into sexual pleasure

You don't have to recreate the sex you had in your 20s. You get to discover what feels even better now. May you have richer, more satisfying orgasms, and more intimacy along the way.

302. What If You Could Have the Best Sex of Your Life at Any Age? | with Dr. Debra Durst07 Oct 202600:45:08

What happens when we stop treating sexual health as something separate from overall health? For many women, sexual vitality, sensation, arousal, and pleasure gradually change with age, yet these experiences rarely receive the attention they deserve in conventional medicine.

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell, MD sits down with Dr. Debra Durst, known as “The SexMD,” to explore the fourth element of great sex in a long-term relationship: physical health and vitality. Dr. Durst shares how her own journey from emergency medicine to sexual wellness revealed a major gap in healthcare, and why women deserve comprehensive care that addresses sexual function, not simply reproduction or disease prevention.

They discuss sexual rejuvenation therapies, hormones, blood flow, erectile tissue, arousal, orgasmic strength, and the experience of feeling more fully connected to your body. Alexandra also shares her own experience receiving treatments at Dr. Durst’s clinic and the striking sense of physical awakening and wholeness she experienced afterward.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- The four elements required for great sex in a long-term relationship

- Why female sexual health receives far less attention than it deserves

- What sexual rejuvenation therapy actually addresses

- How blood flow, nerve regeneration, and erectile tissue relate to arousal and pleasure

- Why sexual vitality deserves attention throughout every stage of life

- How Dr. Durst built a practice focused on comprehensive sexual wellness

Dr. Durst’s message is simple and powerful: sexual health is not taboo, and we are never too old to embrace sexual creativity, vitality, and pleasure.

301. The Art of Non-Sexual Physical Touch, and how good it feels30 Sep 202600:15:44

When couples feel disconnected sexually, they often focus on sex itself. But one of the most powerful ways to rebuild closeness is found in a different kind of intimacy: non-sexual physical touch.

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores how intentional physical affection creates safety, connection, and attunement between partners. From holding hands and cuddling to giving a massage or simply putting an arm around your spouse, these small moments of touch communicate care without creating pressure or expectations around sex.

Alexandra also explains why touch often disappears when couples are out of sync sexually, navigating infertility, or simply overwhelmed by parenting. She offers a practical framework for understanding what kind of touch feels best for each partner, including pressure, pace, and location, and explains why being fully present while touching your spouse makes the experience even more meaningful.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why non-sexual touch is essential for emotional and physical intimacy

• How to create affection without making your partner feel pressured for sex

• The three variables that determine whether touch feels connecting: pressure, pace, and location

• Why your attention matters just as much as the physical touch itself

• How everyday affection helps your bodies relax and release emotional armor

• Why non-sexual touch actually enhances your sexual connection


Intimacy isn't created only through sex. It starts with a hand held gently, an intentional embrace, or simply being fully present with the person you love.

300. What does it take to break generational patterns? | with Rodd Stockwell, MD23 Sep 202600:31:32

None of us gets to choose the family we were raised in. But we do get to decide which patterns we carry forward and which ones end with us.

In this special 300th episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD sits down with her husband, Rodd Stockwell, MD, for an unusually personal conversation about fatherhood, family, and the choices that shaped their marriage and their children’s lives. Rodd reflects on growing up with a distant father and the intentional decisions he made to become the kind of father he wanted to be, while Alexandra shares what it looked like for both of them to navigate major changes in work, parenting, and partnership.

Together, they explore what it really takes to become more emotionally present, why conflict and discomfort are worth moving through, and how the relationship skills developed in a marriage naturally ripple into the way we parent.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How Rodd broke patterns from his own childhood to become a deeply present father• Why being physically available isn't the same as being emotionally present• How curiosity became a powerful tool for connecting with their children• Why rescuing your partner can actually interfere with long-term growth• How navigating conflict in your marriage teaches children how to handle conflict themselves• Why breaking generational patterns requires intentional choices, not perfection

The greatest gift we give our children isn't a perfect childhood. It's the experience of seeing adults choose connection, work through discomfort, repair after conflict, and create something healthier than what came before.

299. The most important change begins with you (and how to get started) | with Becky Aste16 Sep 202600:33:06

When you're struggling in your marriage, it's natural to focus on what your partner needs to change. But what happens when you turn your attention inward and begin creating more safety and connection within yourself?

In this conversation, Alexandra Stockwell, MD welcomes trauma-informed marriage coach and somatic practitioner Becky Aste, who shares the story of taking her own marriage from separation and the brink of divorce to a thriving relationship. After years of therapy, self-development, and trying to understand their patterns, Becky discovered somatic healing and began working with her nervous system in a completely different way.

Together, Alexandra and Becky explore the difference between understanding your relationship patterns and actually changing them, how anxious and avoidant nervous systems can get caught in a painful dance, and why becoming more grounded in yourself can send a completely different signal to your partner.

In this episode, you'll discover:

 • Why understanding your relationship patterns isn't enough to change them • What “somatic healing” means and how it impacts your nervous system • How tiny shifts in your own body and behavior change the dynamic between you and your partner • Why an anxious or avoidant partner isn't necessarily uncaring or uninterested • How creating safety within yourself is an invitation for greater connection • Why secure attachment is a learnable skill, not something only developed in childhood

You don't have to wait for your partner to change before you begin creating a different relationship. Sometimes the most powerful place to start is within yourself, one small moment of safety, presence, and connection at a time. The results are so worthwhile!

298. When you try to fix things but it makes them worse09 Sep 202600:23:16

When something goes wrong, we frequently respond with wanting to do something about it. Fix the problem. Find the solution. Make everything better. And while that can be a wonderful quality, sometimes our urge to fix is actually a way of escaping discomfort.

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores the surprising connection between feeling stressed and our tendency to fix. She explains how fight, flight, and freeze can evolve into “fix” in adulthood, particularly for capable, ambitious people who have learned to feel safe by solving problems and keeping everything under control.

Alexandra offers practical ways to recognize when you're fixing from a place of stress versus offering solutions from a place of calm, spaciousness, and choice. She also shares simple tools to regulate your nervous system in the moment and to build a more resilient baseline over time.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why “fixing” can become a stress response in adulthood• How to tell the difference between empowered problem-solving and compulsive fixing• Why a calm nervous system is essential for intimacy, communication, and passion• Simple ways to pause and regulate yourself when you're triggered• How meditation, movement, pleasure, nature, and other practices strengthen your nervous system• Why knowing you have multiple options is a sign that responding rather than reacting

You don't have to stop fixing things. The invitation is to notice why you're fixing them. When you soothe yourself first, you’ll create the space to respond with greater curiosity, creativity, and connection.

297. The Simple Habit That Keeps Intimacy Alive 02 Sep 202600:15:17

This episode isn't really about kissing—it's about the small, repeated moments of connection that create the culture of a marriage. 

Small moments of connection can have a surprisingly powerful impact on the quality of a marriage. In this episode of The Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD explores the research behind kissing your spouse before leaving for work and reveals why she believes the kiss itself isn't actually what makes the difference. Instead, it's the culture of connection, attention, and affection that makes these small rituals so meaningful. Alexandra shares simple ways to build more moments of intimacy into everyday life, from saying good morning and greeting your spouse when you come home to making time for connection before bed. Because over time, these seemingly small moments become the nourishment that keeps emotional connection, intimacy, and passion alive.

296. Pleasure Is Part Of Healing, Not The Reward For It | with Dr. Kimberly Pendleton26 Aug 202600:40:34

Many people believe they need to completely heal before they can experience deep intimacy, joy, or desire. But what if waiting until you're "fixed" keeps you from the very experiences that help you heal?

In this conversation, Alexandra Stockwell, MD welcomes intimacy coach and trauma-informed educator Dr. Kimberly Pendleton for a compassionate discussion about the relationship between trauma, pleasure, and lasting intimacy. Together, they explore why healing isn't a linear journey, how reconnecting with your senses can restore your sense of self, and why flirtation, confidence, and playfulness aren't frivolous—they're powerful expressions of feeling fully alive.

Whether you're navigating the effects of past trauma, supporting a loved one through their healing, or simply longing for a more vibrant relationship with yourself and your partner, this episode offers a hopeful perspective on what's possible.

In this episode, you'll discover:

295. What if your best sex is yet to come? 19 Aug 202600:20:28

Many of us assume that passion naturally fades with time and that the most exciting years of our sex lives are behind us. But what if that's simply a story we've been told? What if intimacy, pleasure, and desire can continue to grow throughout your marriage?

In this episode, Alexandra Stockwell challenges the belief that long-term relationships inevitably become predictable in the bedroom. She explains why satisfying sex isn't about recapturing the excitement of the early years, but about intentionally allowing your intimate relationship to evolve as you evolve. Through practical examples and gentle encouragement, she shares how small acts of curiosity and adventure can reignite connection without sacrificing the trust and safety that make intimacy meaningful.

Whether your sex life feels routine, disconnected, or simply ready for something new, this episode will inspire you to see lasting passion in an entirely different way.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why your sex life should continue growing throughout every stage of marriage

• How routine quietly diminishes intimacy and erotic energy

• The difference between functional sex and deeply connected intimacy

• Simple, approachable ways to bring more playfulness and adventure into your relationship

271. Why A Man Needs To Do His Own Personal Growth Work (And His Woman Can Not Do It for Him) | with G.S. Youngblood25 Feb 202600:23:47

Do you ever feel you're carrying the emotional weight of the relationship, wishing your man would step up? In this episode, Dr. Alexandra Stockwell sits down with G.S. Youngblood, author of The Masculine in Relationship and The Art of Embodiment for Men, to explore how men's work, masculine leadership, emotional safety, and energetic polarity influence intimacy, trust, and connection—and why a man's defensiveness or withdrawal may signal that deeper growth is required, growth his woman just can not do for him.

About The Guest:

GS Youngblood is the author of "The Masculine in Relationship" and "The Art of Embodiment for Men," bringing over 15 years of experience as both a student and teacher in men's work and relationships. He argues that many relationship issues stem from a lack of Masculine leadership and advocates for men to live from their Masculine Core to alleviate these problems. His approach emphasizes doing one's own work before attempting to resolve issues within the relationship.
