Are you avoiding conversations about sex with your partner? You’re not alone. Research shows people avoid talking about sex with their partners, even in long-term relationships.

In this episode, Stacey gets into the habit of tolerating what doesn’t work in bed, why we stay silent, and how that silence hollows out desire. 

If you’ve ever waited for a moment to say something and let it pass, this one’s for you.

The podcast churns the motor. The stack keeps it running.

On Substack, I dive into the juicy stuff that needs more than 15 minutes. The kinda things that make you go “humph, I never thought about it like that.”

Like why great sex requires emotional labor nobody talks about.

Or why men with smaller dicks are often better lovers (spoiler: it’s about skill, not size).

Or how asking, telling, and listening might be the only sex enhancement you actually need.

No hot takes or how-to guides. Instead, I’m laying down essays that sit at the intersection of nuance and oh damn!

If you’re tired of that Cosmo essential tips and tricks shit and you want the good stuff in the second half… join us.

People who talk about sex have better sex. Go figure?!
