266: Soapbox Episode: Desire Discrepancy 101

In this episode of the Better Sex Podcast, host and sex therapist Jessa Zimmerman discusses the nature of desire discrepancy in intimate relationships. She explains what desire discrepancy is, how it can emerge over time in all couples, and its universal nature. Jessa highlights the relative and situational aspects of discrepancy, emphasizing that roles of higher desire (HDP) and lower desire persons (LDP) can change. She also delves into the inherent control and pressure dynamics in such situations, and how they affect self-worth, relationship tension, and the meaning of sex. Future episodes will address common traps and strategies to bridge these gaps.00:00 Introduction to Better Sex Podcast01:08 Understanding Desire Discrepancy01:35 The Universality of Desire Discrepancy02:50 Relative Nature of Desire Discrepancy03:58 Control Dynamics in Desire Discrepancy06:12 Emotional Impact on Relationships08:05 Pressure and Desire Discrepancy09:05 Conclusion and Future Topics09:33 Closing Remarks and Listener EngagementWant to learn more about my sponsored charity?
