EP507 - Should You Have Sex When You're Not in the Mood?

Should you have sex when you’re not in the mood? You should never feel pressured or obligated to have sex, but you may not need to wait for spontaneous desire before beginning to connect. Writer and speaker Caroline Hood explains the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire and why sexual desire frequently changes in long-term relationships. She and Dr. Nazanin Moali discuss scheduling intimacy without creating pressure, understanding low desire, reconnecting after motherhood, communicating sexual needs, and expanding our definition of what counts as sex. This episode offers a compassionate framework for creating the safety, connection, and pleasurable experiences that allow sexual desire to grow.
