What is a "healthy sex drive"? Am I normal? Why does my partner want sex more/less than me? What do I desire? Why do I struggle to find what I desire?
If any of these questions feel familiar, Intimacy Hour may be just the resource you're looking for.
Join two Experienced Sex Therapists and Licensed Clinical Social Workers for an hour of accurate, relevant information, sex & relationship advice, and Q&A.
"The practical skills, written summaries and resources, and demos are awesome. The consent conversation has a been a game changer ... So thankful to you both for that resource!!"
Intimacy Hour has helped by...
"Providing an open dialogue with for my partner and me"
"Talking about sex like any other topic. Normalizing it."
"New perspectives/concepts/vocabulary/starting points to go further."
"..being able to relate to the facilitator's own humanity/experiences, being able to apply skills learned ..., the diverse range of topics.
