Caitlin V is a sex and relationship coach. In this episode, we dig into what’s really going on with sex these days. We talk about how to bring up fantasies without making it weird, what to do when libidos don’t match, how shame blocks intimacy, and why mindset matters as much as technique. We also answer tons of real listener questions: orgasms (and lack of them), ED, mismatched desire, sexual compatibility, painful sex, trying new positions, porn in relationships, confidence in bed, and how to keep things exciting even when routines settle in. If you’ve ever wondered why sex feels complicated—or how to make it easier, healthier, and more connected—this episode is for you.Get More We Met At Acme!Youtube: @wemetatacmeIG: @lindzmetz @wemetatacme @wemetatbabySubstack: @wemetatacme + @wemetatbabyWebsite: @wemetatacmeChapters03:26 Journey into Sex Coaching08:20 Men's Sexual Health and Challenges35:55 Exploring Daily Pleasure37:55 Building a Relationship with Your Body39:51 Navigating Sexual Compatibility44:24 Addressing Sexual Myths and InsecuritiesProduced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
