What Really Happens in Sex Therapy? | Intimacy, Desire Gaps & Keeping Sex Alive
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What really happens inside sex therapy sessions? In this episode of Slut in Training, we chat with Los Angeles sex therapist, Moushumi Ghose, to talk about intimacy, desire gaps, sexual confidence, and the conversations couples avoid but desperately need to have.
From dry spells and mismatched libido to dirty talk, surrogate partner therapy, and reclaiming sexual power, we break down what people are actually struggling with behind closed doors — and how to communicate better in relationships and the bedroom.
We also discuss why Los Angeles has become a hub for surrogate partner therapy, why many couples struggle to talk about sex openly, and practical tips for keeping intimacy alive in both new and long-term relationships.
If you've ever wondered how couples navigate awkwardness, reignite desire, or talk about what they really want in bed — this episode goes there.
You're welcome!
