Episode Details

Why are we drawn to certain kinks and fetishes? How do body image, low libido, or past trauma affect the way we experience intimacy? And what can couples do when communication breaks down or they start to feel emotionally distant?This week, I’m joined by Aleks, the sex and couples therapist behind The Pleasure Centre. Aleks helps individuals and couples explore their relationships with sex, pleasure, and each other. We get curious about the psychology behind kinks and fetishes, talk openly about self pleasure, and put some of your burning relationship questions to her.We also discuss challenges many people face but find hard to talk about: feeling disconnected from your partner, struggling to express what you want, and navigating trust after cheating. Whether you’re curious about your own desires, looking to improve communication in your relationship, or simply want a more open conversation about sex and intimacy, this episode is full of thoughtful insights—and plenty of fun along the way.Find more of Aleks athttps://www.thepleasurecentre.org/‪@ThePleasureCentreOrg‬ @_thepleasurecentre
