Better Sex

324: [Soapbox] Think of sex like tapas

18 Sep 2025

Description

In this episode of The Better Sex Podcast, host and sex therapist Jessa Zimmerman discusses the importance of moving away from a goal-oriented, all-or-nothing approach to sex. She explains how this mindset can be a barrier for partners with "reactive" desire, and offers alternative metaphors like viewing sex as a playground or a tapas bar, where the focus is on enjoyment and exploration rather than completion. Jessa emphasizes that this shift can help reduce the pressure and improve intimacy within relationships.00:00 Introduction to Better Sex00:49 The All-or-Nothing Approach to Sex03:36 Changing the Perspective: Metaphors for Better Intimacy05:37 Conclusion and Listener EngagementWant to learn more about my sponsored charity?
