Episode 78: Initiation: What You And Your Partner Are Doing Wrong - And How To Get It Right

Initiation is SUPPOSED to feel sexy and enticing. When we see it on
TV, it always looks so easy. One partner looks at the other from
across the room, you can see in their eyes how much they want each
other, one partner presses the other up against the wall and it’s
game on! But for so many of us, initiation feels more like an
annoyance than a seduction. We polled our audience on Instagram and
discovered that at least half of our audience regularly gets
frustrated by their partner’s initiation tactics.   Initiation
can be tricky because emotions can run high for both partners for
very different reasons. One partner could be trying to feel
connected, while the other is balancing cooking dinner, kids
schedules, unreturned emails, and just not being in that headspace.
Or maybe your partner waits to initiate until the 11th hour, when
you’re desperate for sleep after a long day.   In this
episode, we examine both sides of failed initiation attempts. We
share real life examples of some traps that we’ve personally fallen
into along the way. And, most importantly, we offer simple
solutions for both initiator and the exasperated partner. This is a
fantastic episode to listen to with your partner - or to play
loudly from the other room when they’re around!   Links &
