Description

Join host Sally Obermeder and guest Dr Marty Klein, world-renowned sex therapist and author, as they dive deep into one of the most misunderstood ideas in modern relationships: scheduled sex. If you think planning intimacy sounds unromantic, think again.




✓ Why scheduling sex doesn’t kill spontaneity - it actually creates more of it


✓ The biggest myths about “normal” sex lives (and why comparison is killing connection)


✓ What men and women really want when it comes to sex - and how it’s more similar than you think


✓ How to deal with mismatched libidos without blame or shame


✓ Why self-acceptance and communication are the real keys to great sex


✓ The role of mental stimulation and why foreplay starts long before the bedroom


✓ Phones, fatigue and the unseen factors that ruin intimacy


✓ How structured intimacy can unlock more time, presence and play in your relationship




Whether you’re navigating a sexual drought, juggling a busy family life, or just want more connection with your partner, this episode is full of empowering, practical and often hilarious insights that can transform the way you think about sex and love.
