Building A Relationship To Pleasure and Intimacy with Daniela Stevens

Building a relationship to pleasure and intimacy takes a lot of intention in this society that still treats talking about sex as taboo. So many people struggle with intimacy due to lack of communication, trauma, and societal conditioning to disconnect from their bodies and desires. Improving intimacy requires us to unlearn harmful norms and relearn our embodied self. Tools like love languages and embodied practices can help us engage in conscious communication with partners. It helps to create a safe container to explore these sensitive topics compassionately, gain perspective on cultivating more fulfilling relationships.

In this episode of Unlimited, Valerie Friedlander and Daniela Stevens have a conversation about how to meet yourself where you’re at as you build a relationship to pleasure and intimacy.

Some of what we talk about in this episode includes:

  • Breaking the rules we assume in romantic relationships

  • Learning to love yourself and listen to your body

  • Shifting from goals to intentions in sex

  • The pressure to perform and recovering from ways we disconnect
