When Sex Brings Up Shutdown, Tears, or Rushing, What's Actually Happening
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever had sex end in shutdown, rushing, or unexpected emotion, and neither of you knew what just happened?
In this intimate episode of the Sex After Kids Podcast, I explore why sex can feel heavy, confusing, or emotionally charged for couples, even when there is love and desire on both sides.
This episode is for you if:
- One partner shuts down, goes numb, or gets emotional during sex
- The other feels rejected or unsure how to help
- Sex gets rushed just to get through it
- A body feels unfamiliar after babies, trauma, surgery, or perimenopause
I share my personal story of spending years fighting her body and how learning one key somatic skill, along with her partner learning how to support instead of fix, created the biggest shift in their sex life.
You'll learn why these patterns are nervous system responses, not failures, and how couples can start moving back toward safe, light, and enjoyable intimacy together.
