548: The Dialogue of Desire

Author: Cloud10 June 12, 2026 Duration: 29:07
Welcome Brave Lovers! In today's episode we are deep diving into what desire feels like on the body. You've heard us talk about using body cues in identifying the negative cycle but today we are focusing on physical pleasure. We are challenging listeners to expand their definition of "good sex" and focus more on the experience of desire, of pleasure and of sexual connection. What is your body feeling during all this? Listen in as we help put words to the experience of desire, gain more ways to describe to your partner how they make you feel and learn how this will help you to repeat desire fueled connection! Electric, warm, pulsating, pulling towards, openness, freedom; are just a sample of the words and phrases we discuss in this episode to help you capture what desire feels like on your body and how to share it with your partner. Our body cues can help us identify what is working and what we want to grow more of rather than just the negative experience. Send us your favorite words or phrases to describe desire on our instagram @BraveLoveGreatSex and make sure to pre-order a copy of our book by the same name today! Learn more about your ad choices.
