EP476 - Destination Sexy: Your Passport to Pleasure

EP476 - Destination Sexy: Your Passport to Pleasure

Author: Dr. Nazanin Moali, Ph.D, Psychology of Sex | Couple Therapy | Sex Education February 3, 2026 Duration: 44:13

Welcome to Episode 476 of the Sexology Podcast! Today I am excited to be joined by Ally Iseman, who speaks to me about desire discrepancy, long-term intimacy, and how travel can become a powerful doorway back to erotic connection.

 

In this episode, Ally and I discuss one of the most common struggles couples bring into therapy: loving their partner while feeling disconnected from sex and intimacy. We talk about why desire naturally shifts over time, how novelty + security can feel like they are pulling in opposite directions, and why sexless periods are often symptoms rather than the core issue. 


Ally Iseman is a non-monogamy educator, erotic lifestyle consultant, and ICF-certified relationship coach who has spent over a decade helping individuals, couples, and moresomes create authentic, fulfilling relationships on their own terms. As the founder of Passport 2 Pleasure, an inclusive relationship education platform, Ally champions open communication and conscious connection within sex-positive and non-traditional relationship dynamics.


In this episode, you will hear:

 

·      Understanding Desire Discrepancy

·      Why Novelty Fuels Erotic Energy

·      Sexless Relationships As A Symptom

·      Reframing Masturbation And Shame

·      Travel As Foreplay For Connection

·      Escape Versus Exploration In Trips

·      Sensuality Beyond Sexual Acts

·      Creating Mystery Through Planning

·      Managing Expectations And Pressure

·      Curiosity As A Relationship Skill
