176. The Pleasure Principle: Dr. Alexandra on Cultivating Passion and Wholeness in Relationships with Tilly Storm

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD and Tilly Storm, focus on the pleasure principle as they explore ways to foster passionate relationships and venture into new dimensions of erotic intimacy. Tilly has extensive expertise in women’s sexuality and guides couples to renew the spark and access more pleasure in their intimate lives. The two of them discuss "wholeness" as an essential ingredient for pleasure, ways to foster pleasure-positive attitudes in children, and marital challenges such as sexual incompatibility and how to talk about it.    Also in this episode:  Normalizing the conversation around pleasure with children contributes to a healthier understanding of sexuality as they mature. Couples often experience a "turn on mismatch," which should be navigated by learning and understanding one another’s erotic blueprints. Guided sex experiences are a safe, exploratory space for couples to reignite their sexual connection and learn new ways to engage with each other.   About Tilly Storm: When not at home in Hollywood, FL, Tilly loves traveling the world with her 2 teenage boys for the next hot surf spot, and going on personal growth and development retreats with her life partner, Chris.
