How sad. Sex should be fun. I believe it’s because partners aren’t pleasing their partners. Period. They are not communicating. 20+ years & we are still like teenagers. Empty nesting has been so much fun!! And it’s fabulous! We have all the time in the world for each other. Why not make it fun. ♥️♥️

Exactly! And finally someone says it and it's wonderful that it comes out of a woman's mouth as well. Because, y'know people like to think only men are superficial but we all are. If I expect my partner to be faithful I better damn well make sure they are satisfied. And part of that is keeping myself as attractive as I can be. That's not an option, it's an obligation.

It was actually touching for me.

We had far better sex 10 yrs. Into marriage than we did in the beginning and there was NO way in hell I would’ve thought that could be topped at the time! It was great when we were college age but the love was so much deeper at the end of our 20s, and our married sex life sounded SO much better than our what our single friends were having… yes, there is a lull with children and careers, etc. but connection is what keeps you on the same page and it does not need to die and get stale the longer you are together.! We may not be the norm but it’s certainly possible if u are into ea. other and devoted to keeping it that way.

Same here at 12+ years. I've heard people say that it gets better as you get older but perhaps that the frequency decreases, but apart from a few rough time periods with health issues it's no less frequent than the first year. If we go a week without it for whatever reason we both feel deprived.

Found this podcast a few months ago and haven"t been able to stop listening sense. As a woman, I am constantly learning from the male vulnerability expressed in this podcast. Thanks for all of it!

I think expectations of what sex should be are influenced by notions we get from porn, from media, and from all sorts of hype we see in life about what sex is. the most fulfilling sex I ever had was when I got with someone who was quite shy about sex, like I have always been, and we explored gently, without pressure, and lots of laughter and fun at our own failings and inhibitions too. Sex is more than just penetration and gymnastic stamina.

Absolutely. I think the sexual relationship you describe is one not really identified in this discussion. I think it is actually possible for two people to come together with a certain degree of innocence and build a genuine romantic and monogamous connection which retains it's bit of magic over the years. I think in our fast-paced, cynical world we have forgotten that this used to be possible for some.

This convo has helped me realise that I will be going to therapy as I have unconsciously completely closed off that part of my life due to fear. I wish people understood how damaging infidelity is to the other person. If you want to go have sex elsewhere let the other person know and they can decide to stay or leave. Be brave and have that convo. Great chat.

It took me a month to finally get through this long interview. Qued it up numerous times, listen for some time then had to pause. I find her fascinating and at the same time troubling with some of her commentary. The one thing I'll give her for sure is her emphasizes on communication. Good for her. Steven was a complete gentleman and professional. Well done Steven. I'd love to sit across from her and discuss a few topics.

Our sex life has never gone downhill over time, actually better with experience. It's not perfect, but it didn't fade away or disappear. And her thoughts on monogamy/marriage were rather alarming as well, like if you're not getting enough just find someone else? Have multiple partners when you're young? Oh dear.

I think this was an interesting and necessary open conversation about sex which was fully inclusive especially around age. These myths and programming that we are a certain age and we can't enjoy intimacy. I think over the years Tracey has taken so much flak for being openly conversational about sex but I really appreciate her directness and openness. Everything she shared is relational to anyone at any age and stage of life. Thank you Steven for always being open to listening especially for us girls it's really lovely to hear openly compassionate men share their story and to help young people navigate the journey too.

Oh my my I just started putting all kinds of words together sentences, not even knowing what to explain what I was going through and saying and you wow are saying things that I needed help with for my wife and our sex life and everything else with my wife. I didn’t know what to type in. I didn’t even know about this podcast. I am just totally totally blown away and astonished that I never heard of you and I am so glad so glad you were on you are an angel miss Tracy.

This was great! I agree with everything she says and it makes me feel completely vindicated that all the things I've been doing are actually valid...sometimes you lose confidence in your own intuition but having multiple partners does help you see what works...thank you!!

So great to hear sensible conversations about sex. I have struggled with sex yet seeing/listening to this conversation, I realise what I have struggled with is the gap between my own expectations of myself (based on movies, books etc) and reality. Sex is bigged up by our society and I made the mistake of believing this, wanting myself to consistently perform/experience this, and falling short, rather than throwing all this out the window and looking after myself and believing in and being grateful for my own experience. The post menopausal info was helpful too.Thank you so much.

I think long term relationships struggle with loss of sex due to boredom or just loss of spark. People are afraid to talk about it but I can't believe how common it is. But the video fell from heaven right when I needed it

And he does the same! I'm so glad this convo is happening.❤ I can say, the past partners I've had, none of these boys knew about a woman's body, and none of them asked questions or explored me at all, which made me feel like an object and of course, intimacy died off. Great quote: "If they enjoyed it, why would they avoid it?" Read books, watch videos like this and most importantly, talk to your partner! It may be strange at first but then it becomes a _part_ of the foreplay and can really rev things up!!

I'll add, religion and purity culture really screwed me up for a while. Part of how women learn their bodies is through masturbation~ so when you're taught that's wrong, then you have women who don't know what turns them on, then you pair them with religious men who've ALSO gotten all kinds of false and damaging info regarding sex/intimacy! It all tumbles into horrible sex 😢 Also, the "obligation sex" message the Church teaches men and women is DESTROYING marriages! Nobody wants to have sex when it's expected/demanded of you with NO thoughts of your own pleasure, as a woman. Come on Church, you guys can do better!! Sheila Gregorie's books are amazing. "The great sex rescue", "the good guys guid to great sex", "the good girls guid to great sex" and "she deserves better" are all amazing books!!

Loved this one! Steven, I've seen like 5 of your interviews in the last 2 weeks, I have loved them all, I will continue listening to you and your amazing guests!

I agree with all the compliments Steven gave Tracey at the end of this film. What a great gal. I especially like her response. Even given all the things she writes and speaks about, Steven still managed to make her blush proving to me that she really is a lovely person. xx

I've re-watched it 3 times🙏🙏🙏Thank you so much for introducing this incredible guest to us - Tracy Cox, I will very much look forward to read all of her books now. This was a very insightful podcast🤲

I’m in the longest relationship I’ve ever been in (6 years) and the intimacy is only like twice a year now for the last two years. I’m 33 years old with a high sex drive. It used to be that we were intimate every night for the first couple years. Any time I bring it up, it makes the relationship worse and causes more tension, causing a longer “dry spell”, and I have to admit that lately my thoughts wander to other women even though I’ve always considered myself a committed partner and trustworthy. It feels shameful to want someone other than my partner. I want a marriage with someone who compliments my needs the same way I compliment theirs. Sometimes, in this circumstance, I feel uncertain if marriage even makes sense for me, my wants, and needs. This video was very informative and helpful.

You gotta make something happen. Counseling should definitely be an option. I’ve been in a relationship like that and it probably won’t last no matter how much you want it to if she’s unwilling to communicate, compromise and overcome that obstacle. You’ll just end up a very bitter person.

So True, I've been married 42 years, got married when we were 18 an 19 we love each other very much. But wife has lost all desires to have sex, an it's been about 15 years now, we do it maybe 1 time a year, I've bought tried everything nothing works , she went to a Doctor an got Hrc replacement pills, but the chance of cancer scared me so after only a week I told her to stop taking them. So I've heard of these things called, HRT pellets they put into the woman but can't find a doctor that does it, an wonder if the side affects are the same as the pills. Heard the pellets tak like 3 to 4 weeks to work, but then she's into and having the desires to have sex again. Would really like to get some advice.

This is very normal. First: most men did nothing wrong. Is just the way women are. Women get in love for whom they are impressed by and then of course that awesomeness dissipates with time. Accept it or move on. Moving on is the correct option btw. For most men: It will happen sooner than latter and it will not be in their terms. This should be clearer from the start but there's no education for men. Only "women studies". Stay strong.

“Love is kind, but it’s not blind” - absolutely genius!

To be honest listening to this conversation made me uncomfortable and it made me face the uncomfortable truths about my sex life so Thankyou Steven and the Team❤

Just pre-ordered the book 🙊👏 Can't wait! So interested to see this episode Stephen ❤️🙏

Amazing episode! Your channel has truly become the positive reinforcement & perspective I realize i may have been lacking in recent years. Another great guest and a perfect conversation on possibly one of the most important subjects in life.....just WOW. You both absolutely nailed this! Much respect & Thank you for your work!

Love Tracey for speaking the truth about parenting, sex frequency etc.

Adding this to 'my favourite episode's' list! I always look forward to every episode. Such an important conversation.

Wow this was captivating from start to finish. A life changing conversation. Thank you Steven and team!

Wonderfull podcast Thankyou Steve for inviting such a interesting and interesting lady on your show. Learned so much! Regards from Australia 🇦🇺

This woman is speaking nothing but facts. She is very real with it. Love this discussion.

Great program! Relationships go through many phases and being resilient enough to hang in there through the tough times can lead to great fulfillment in the end. My marriage of 53+ years has not been without strife. Tracey's comment that it all comes down to childhood issues is so very true. Others have said that we choose our mates to help us work through those early programs. I'm grateful that we've stuck it out and at this point are literally basking in the 'fruits of our labours'. We also still make each other laugh and find stimulation in discussing a wide range of topics. This intellectual stimulation may be more important, in our case, than the physical; however, when I hear the stats surrounding sexless relationships, I shake my head in confusion ...it just never occurred to me that this was happening. I suppose we take our own situation to be the 'norm' and again, we've been very lucky. Thank you for searching out this wonderfully witty and informative 'sexpert'!

Wow this was fascinating 😮 My favourite episode yet. This lady is so interesting, engaging and relatable. She’s so good at explaining and breaking down what she’s discussing. Plus I think I’m now armed with some important information for a next relationship.

Captivating is the right word for Tracy - i really took this episode in .. Thanks

Thank You SO MUCH for all the superb information you have provided for us all …. Its invaluable 🤩🤩🤩

Tracey! Thank you so much for these insane insights that you have provided the listeners with. My new goal in life is to read all your 17 books❤ You're so eloquent and humble, I hope when you relisten to this podcast you realise how magnificent and inspirational you are to young women like me, not just in terms of career but also how you carry yourself. Thank you for being so open and vulnerable here. I am only 20, but I will carry this knowledge about sex and life with me for decades to come. Steven, you did a fantastic job handling this sensitive topic so well and you were so respectful. Love how there is no awkwardness in discussing delicate subjects and it's strictly to increase awareness through facts, opinions and experiences and fulfill a mission. Much love and respect for both of you. (P.s. Tracey, your shirt is kinda based off the colour palette of an avocado 🥑)

Congratulations on the completion of your book ! Listening to the show now 👍

Thank you for sharing this. This was a great conversation about sex that can help so many people and their relationships.

Fantastic. I learned a lot and felt reassured about the areas which I already know. Thankyou well worth the watch.

What an amazing women, she seriously is so on point. It's a shame people's lack of awareness is leading to so many unessary break up of long term relationships.

Could not get past when married my ex wanted sex when I was asleep, and I was embarrased and confused that I was not aware what was happening. It is likely he was giving me drugs. That was the turning point. No sex with that monster, since if I stirred when not asleep he stopped. ( Besides getting an STD.) That topic was not covered, in the inappropirate tx of a partner is not tolerable. I do not believe I was being prudish. It was rape to me.

This is so validating. For decades I have felt alone and different when it comes to this topic. Thank you!

This has been a huge eyeopener. It has answered so many questions. And the statistics, now I don't feel like an isolated case anymore I see there are many more just like me, struggling. I will give this vid to my partner too, I want him to see this. I think we will be able to better understand each others needs, which are clearly different it seems. To communicate about sex with my partner I find really difficult, I am not that opened about it and I don't know what to say, it's just difficult and awkward for me. After listening to this podcast and having all this data and new knowledge I might even know what to discuss. Thank you for this, I am speechless of what I have learned in just one vid.

Great show! Thank you both. 🎉

The best so far, keep up the great work and please keep getting amazing people like Tracey on your casts.

This was such an interesting and insightful episode, thank you both for sharing such an open conversation ❤ And congratulations on the book Steven!

This was actually really good! Congratulations! Extremely nutritious conversation!

One of the things I've noticed that most women in a relationship don't realize and don't do is related to initiation. From my experience, partners have always been either completely passive with initiation or very indirect. What they've always failed to realize is how much of a turn on it can be for a woman to directly initiate sexual activity with her man.

This was so helpful! She is fantastic and I enjoyed the vulnerability from Steve sharing a personal experience. Thanks to his partner too for approving that he could share that part with us 😊

I listen to a lot of educational KZread videos while working. This channel, that I recently started listening to, has been such a great experience for me. This will probably be one of my favorite the more I watch. Thank you for creating these! Btw, she was a wonderful person to listen to and learn from.

Amazing advice and insight from Tracey. Many thanks.

Love Tracey to the point and honest.

Tracey really knows what she's talking about. Engaging content from beginning to end, well done

I feel like this was the best episode you've ever done. Captivating guest, important topic. So many of your episodes are incredible but when I think about how many people are going to leave this one with something real and practical, I think this it puts them above them all. Thank you for bringing us this experience.

Thank you for the conversation!

I love it when someone is so knowledgeable on their topic and open about speaking about it. Brilliant, thank you!

Another amazing podcast, ❤️ it, Stephen, keep up the Amazing work you do. Every week I am so pleased to see a new episode come up. You have educated so many, including myself. Just thank you 🙏
