Same relationship, different libidos. What happens when sex becomes lazy, inconsistent, or non-existent altogether?

In this episode of Love & the Layman, certified sex coach Samantha Raddock and her husband Jared take aim at mismatched desire and the slow creep of “meatball sex” in long-term relationships — predictable, routine, and served the exact same way every time.

Why does desire change over time? Why do routines that once felt comforting start to feel suffocating? And how does resentment sneak in when sex begins to feel one-sided, obligatory, or painfully predictable?

With grounded insight, honest reactions, and zero blame, this conversation reframes libido differences not as a failure — but as an invitation to communicate, redefine intimacy, and move away from scorekeeping toward curiosity.

Still think mismatched desire means you’re suddenly incompatible? Relax — you’re probably just overdue for a recalibration.
