  • Resentful Grandkids, 20-Year Itches, and "Her" Book
    Jan 7 2026

    This week, we are tackling the conversations everyone is afraid to have—from the dining room table to the nightstand.

    First up, we have a husband caught in the middle. His mother-in-law is dominating every single holiday, and it has gotten so bad that the teenage grandkids are starting to resent her. How does he tell his wife that her mom needs to back off without starting World War III?

    Then, we pivot to the bedroom. How do you introduce new sexual positions into a marriage that’s been steady for 20 years? We discuss how to bridge the gap between "routine" and "ravishing" without making it awkward.

    Finally, a listener needs help navigating a spicy discovery. Her husband read the "smutty" book on her nightstand, and now she needs advice on how to talk to him about what he saw (and maybe what she wants).

  • Surviving a Dead Bedroom: She Loves Him But No Longer Wants Any Touch
    Dec 24 2025

    Struggling with silent marriages and hidden conflicts? This episode explores three real relationship crises. First, Michael and his wife are stuck in a cycle of miscommunication and resentment. Next, Patricia fights for her autistic son while her partner denies the diagnosis, tearing them apart. Finally, Areal loves her husband as a father but can't bear physical intimacy in their dead bedroom, leaving her desperate for answers. We delve into the pain of unmet needs, the cost of poor communication, and the search for paths forward when love is strained by silence, denial, and distance. If your relationship feels like a lonely battle, their stories might shed light on your own.

  • When Kinks Go Too Far & Cougars Attack: Your Sex & Relationship Questions Answered.
    Dec 17 2025

    Struggling with sexual compatibility or confusing kinks with pressure? You're not alone. This week, we're diving into your most pressing relationship and intimacy questions with raw honesty and expert-informed insights.

    First, a caller asks if she's the only one who doesn't enjoy "going deep," feeling isolated by common stereotypes. We discuss sexual preferences, communication, and why there's no "normal" when it comes to pleasure.

    Then, we tackle a complex issue: "Is the squeeze worth the juice?" When does a personal kink become a problem in a committed relationship? We break down the crucial differences between exploration, compromise, and coercion, focusing on the ongoing importance of enthusiastic consent even in long-term partnerships.

    Finally, a young man shares his experience entering a relationship with an older woman. We explore the reality beyond the "cougar" stereotype—discussing power dynamics, social judgment, and what's truly left in the aftermath. Is it a learning experience or something more?
