“Have You Been Lying to Me All These Years?” Why Even Happily Married Couples Struggle to Talk About Sex | Natalie & Kyle Fretwell, Founders of Tabu
What happens when the couple building products for your sex life admits they struggled to talk about their own?In this candid episode, Natassia sits down with Natalie and Kyle Fretwell, the married co-founders of Tabu and creators of the couples app Dyad. They unpack sexual communication in long-term relationships, changing desire, menopause, postpartum changes, the fear of asking for something new, intimacy products, and keeping desire alive in marriage.They explore why so many men read a partner’s changing desire as rejection, how a single text from Natalie to her mom sparked a company, and why asking to try something new can feel like an accusation ten years in. From the “dirty little secret” behind their intimacy pillow to the double opt-in design that lets couples discover what they both want, this conversation shows that even happy couples get stuck. It also shows how small rituals help them get unstuck.Shop Tabu: heytabu.com/discount/lustintranslation for 10% offTry Dyad couples app: https://dyad.app⸻Lust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/

The UK Just Banned Certain Porn. Who Gets to Decide What’s Obscene? | A Quickie with Birna Gustafsson
When a government decides which fantasies are criminal, who is it really protecting, and what does the ban leave untouched?In this week’s Quickie, Natassia sits down with certified sex educator Birna Gustafsson to unpack the new UK porn ban, which took effect November 6 in England and Wales. They explore why so many young men turn to sex as the one place they feel powerful, how mainstream porn’s chase for shock value mirrors the rest of the internet, and why a culture with rigid rules for men and women ends up eroticizing an exaggerated version of those rules. The conversation covers the slang we use for sex and the old problem of “I know it when I see it.” Along the way it asks what a law can change and what it can’t.Whether you support the ban, oppose it, or land somewhere in between, this episode gives you a sharper way to think about what porn reflects back to us.⸻Spice things up and deepen your connection with my Wonderlust Intimacy Card Deck: 10% off with code LUST at https://wonderlust.coLust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/Follow Birna on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bbirna/ Work with Birna: birna.net

A Husband With No Friends Is Hard to Desire
We’re back with our second Quickie to unpack The Cut’s viral piece “My Husband Has No Friends” and what it reveals about male loneliness, emotional intimacy, “man-keeping,” the mental load in marriage, friendship after kids, individuality in long-term relationships, the desire gap, and why a partner can’t be your everything.I am joined by Birna Gustafsson, as we bring in different perspectives from Iceland, Brazil and the US to this topic.Are you a husband with no friends? What have you found to be the most difficult part and what would help you seek friendship again? Are you a wife who manages your husband’s social life, or at least tries to get him out there?

What ADHD Does to Your Sex Life, From a Sex Therapist Who Has It | Dr. Leann Borneman
You want your partner. You’re attracted to them. So why does initiating sex feel like a task you can’t start?Natassia sits down with clinical sexologist, licensed psychotherapist, and ADHD sex and relationship researcher Dr. Leann Borneman, LCSW, CST, to unpack ADHD, executive function, desire, initiation, sensory sensitivity, perimenopause, responsive desire, kink, and what she calls “erotic accommodations.” Misdiagnosed as bipolar as a kid and only diagnosed with ADHD as an adult through her daughter’s evaluation, Leann went on to produce the first doctoral research on ADHD and BDSM in heterosexual women, and she speaks here as both a clinician and a woman living it.They explore why sex and desire need executive function to access, why so much standard desire advice falls flat for ADHD brains, and why Leann has a love-hate relationship with scheduling sex. This conversation reframes distraction, delays, and “sex paralysis” as barriers you can map, not proof that something is wrong with you.Whether you have ADHD, love someone who does, or have ever felt your desire disappear somewhere between wanting and doing, this episode will give you language you didn’t know you were missing.⸻Spice things up and deepen your connection with my Wonderlust Intimacy Card Deck: 10% off with code LUST at https://wonderlust.co⸻Lust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/Work with Leann: https://www.bornemancoaching.com/Follow Leann on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drb_unfiltered/Listen to her podcast, ADHD Realities: https://www.youtube.com/@ADHDRealitiesRead her Substack: https://drleannborneman.substack.com/

"You Didn't Talk to Me All Day, Now You Want Sex?" with Couples Therapist George Faller
Why does he reach for you at night when he barely spoke to you all day? And why does your "not tonight" feel to him like the door closing?Natassia sits down with licensed marriage and family therapist George Faller, founder of the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy and co-author of Brave Love, Great Sex. George is a former FDNY lieutenant who became a couples therapist after 9/11, when nobody else in the room wanted to work with the firefighter couples. He's also the first man on the podcast. Together they unpack attachment styles, the pursuer–withdrawer cycle, emotionally focused therapy, "criss-cross" couples, male desire, low libido, the mental load, repair after conflict, triggers, co-regulation, scheduling sex, and why "vulnerability" is the wrong word to use with men.They explore why so many couples swap roles between the living room and the bedroom—she pursues the conversation, he pursues the touch, and each becomes the other the moment they're rejected. From the fight that starts in less than a tenth of a second to the therapy advice George says sets men up to fail, this conversation makes the case that men's sexual pursuit isn't "just" about orgasm, that low desire is usually a relationship problem rather than a body problem, and that sex doesn't only follow love—it builds it.Whether you're the one who pulls away, the one who pushes, or a couple who's stopped having sex altogether, this episode gives you the map for seeing the cycle—and getting out of it together.⸻Spice things up and deepen your connection with my Wonderlust Intimacy Card Deck: 10% off with code LUST at https://wonderlust.co⸻Lust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/Buy Brave Love, Great Sex by George Faller and Dr. Laurie Watson: https://amzn.to/4y05iP1 Work with George: https://georgefaller.comFollow George on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fallergeorge/

The Same Fight, Every Time: How Couples Break the Cycle with Therapist Liliana Doyon
What's the first thing to go when a relationship starts to fall apart?Natassia sits down with Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist Liliana Doyon, LMFT, President of the New York Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy, to unpack keeping the peace, self-abandonment, the pursue-withdraw cycle, attachment styles, repair after conflict, resentment, caretaking and "emotional foreplay," and what actually happens in the room when couples get stuck in the same fight. Liliana is also a first-generation Mexican American who integrates curanderismo — cacao ceremony, sound baths, and limpias — into evidence-based couples work.They explore why "let's talk about it later" is where repair dies, why the first thing to go in a relationship is sex, and why the accommodating partner ends up unseen and unheard.Whether you're the one who pushes to talk, the one who walks away, or the one who has stopped bringing things up at all, this episode may change how you hear your partner and yourself.⸻Spice things up and deepen your connection with my Wonderlust Intimacy Card Deck: 10% off with code LUST at https://wonderlust.co⸻Lust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/Work with Liliana Doyon: https://www.lilianadoyon.com/ Follow Liliana on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lilianadoyon/

How to Turn Your Attachment Style Into a Secure Relationship with Gaby Balsells
Why do you love the way you love?Natassia sits down with Gaby Balsells, a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Guatemala, relationship coach, and author of Dating 101 to unpack attachment styles, secure vs. anxious vs. avoidant attachment, dating after divorce, honesty vs. transparency, shape-shifting in relationships, raw spots vs. core wounds, the three types of sex, aftercare, and what actually makes desire feel safe. Trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and a board member of the New York Center for EFT, Gaby wrote her dating book while walking through her own divorce after a ten-year relationship, and she's candid about the mistakes she made on dates that she would have flagged in her own clients.From why no one can be truly secure in dating to why sex with the wrong person can feel so good, this conversation reframes attachment not as a label you're stuck with but as a pattern you can rewire. Gaby also makes the case that dating isn't a numbers game, it's an energy game.Whether you're anxious on the apps, in a marriage that still feels stuck, or trying to understand why the same fight keeps happening, this episode will help you see the pattern underneath it.⸻If it takes you a while to get in the mood, your body may just need a different kind of stimulation, which is exactly why I love Aura by Mila: find out what works for you at https://heymila.co/lust.Couples who talk about sex have better sex, so I created the Wonderlust Intimacy Card Deck to make that conversation fun and easy: get 10% off with code LUST at https://wonderlust.co.⸻Lust in Translation PodcastSubscribe to our newsletter for exclusive insights: lustintranslation.com Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lustintranslationpod/ Follow Natassia on on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/natassiamiller/Work with Gaby Balsells (free 30-minute consultation): https://www.modernintimacy.com/therapist/gaby-balsells/Follow Gaby on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabybalsells/Read Gaby's book, Dating 101: https://amzn.to/3TeYcHY
