Caitlin V is a sex and relationship coach. In this episode, we dig into what’s really going on with sex these days. We talk about how to bring up fantasies without making it weird, what to do when libidos don’t match, how shame blocks intimacy, and why mindset matters as much as technique. We also answer tons of real listener questions: orgasms (and lack of them), ED, mismatched desire, sexual compatibility, painful sex, trying new positions, porn in relationships, confidence in bed, and how to keep things exciting even when routines settle in. If you’ve ever wondered why sex feels complicated—or how to make it easier, healthier, and more connected—this episode is for you. Get More We Met At Acme!
