S6 Ep. 5: How to Masturbate Without Using Porn, Is Once a Week Enough, and Are Separate Beds the Kiss of Death for Your Sex Life?

In this episode, Tracey and Kelsey discuss these three anonymous questions:1) We’re a married couple—I’m 35 and my wife is 32—and love listening to your podcast. No kids yet. We enjoy sex, but only have it once a week. We try to do it more, but we’re busy and it never happens. We were talking about sex with a group of close friends and they all said they have sex three times a week minimum. It’s made us feel ashamed and like something is wrong, even though we are really happy with our sex life. What are your thoughts?2) I’m 35, I’ve had multiple relationships, but I have forever seen sex as a male-focused experience, never seeking pleasure for myself. My goodness has your podcast made me change my thoughts about sex! I wish I had this to listened to in my late teens! I have only ever orgasmed on my own, watching porn and using a clitoral vibrator. My aim is to orgasm with my partner (of 7 years), and you have given me the confidence to focus on this. I’m nervous that I won’t be able to do this without porn. Do you have any tips on where to start? 3) My husband snores so loudly, it makes sleep almost impossible for me. I’ve tried everything: ear plugs, playing white noise, trying to get him on his side. Nothing works. I feel resentful and irritable from lack of sleep. We have a spare room and, to me, the obvious solution is to sleep in separate rooms, but he won’t hear of it. He says we will end up having sex even less than we do and that it will ruin our marriage.
