WARNING - This episode contains strong themes of an adult nature, including sexually explicit descriptions and language. Please be advised. Today, Lyn is talking to Calandra Balfour, a sex educator and wellness expert, about sex and intimacy, subjects that many find difficult to vocalise, but which are essential components in every loving healthy relationship. Lyn and Calandra discuss why intimacy can never be the only thing that holds a relationship together, and how to revitalise sexual passion when things begin to wane. KEY TAKEAWAYS Relationships are based upon intimacy, but they are held together permanently by a healthy sex life. We should never be afraid to discuss our sexual needs with our partners. Society has, in more recent times, made it easier for women to ask for what they want. Conversations between partners are becoming more frank, and women find it easier to speak out when they are feeling unfulfilled.  Everybody’s distribution of nerve endings is completely different. Therefore, we cannot hope to please every partner with the same techniques and sexual positions. This also explains why some women manage to have orgasms through intercourse more easily than others. Sometimes other challenges, consciously or not, may be having an influence on our sex drive. The root of some issues may stem from other areas in the relationship or our life that require attention. BEST MOMENTS ’Great sex is the glue that holds a relationship together’ ‘For some people, the story of the orgasm is just longer’ ’There’s no such thing as a G-Spot - let me explain...' ’Sometimes sex can be used as a little bit of a bargaining chip' VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Spotify Stitcher ABOUT THE GUEST Calandra Balfour is a wellness expert, with a background in neuroscience, nutrition, NLP and coaching.
