094 Intimacy, how do we know our way into pleasure?

The Scrumptious Woman

I'd love to hear from you drop me a text!

Hello, my loves! It’s Juliette Karaman here, and I’m delighted to have you with me for this solo episode of The Scrumptious Woman. Today, I’m diving into a topic that many of my clients have been asking about—intimacy in relationships. Whether it’s rekindling the spark, navigating through intimacy issues, or understanding each other’s needs better, this episode is all about enhancing your connection with your partner. So, let’s take a deep breath, relax, and explore together.

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we delve into the challenges many couples face when intimacy starts to wane. Whether it’s due to stress, changes in desire, or unspoken issues, the lack of connection can leave both partners feeling distant. I guide you through recognising these signs and understanding that it’s perfectly normal for relationships to evolve over time. However, this doesn’t mean the intimacy has to disappear.

I introduce the concept of “taking sex off the table” to focus on rebuilding the emotional and physical connection in a non-pressured way. We explore the different erotic blueprints—energetic, sensual, sexual, kinky, and shapeshifter—that influence how we experience pleasure and intimacy. Understanding your own and your partner’s blueprint can be transformative in reigniting the connection.

Finally, I leave you with a powerful exercise: spending five minutes asking your partner, “What does intimacy mean to you?” This simple but profound practice can open up new avenues for understanding and closeness in your relationship.

Key Takeaways:

1. Recognise the Shift: It’s normal for intimacy to change over time, but recognising and addressing it is the first step toward rekindling the connection.
2. Take Sex Off the Table: Focus on rebuilding emotional and physical intimacy without the pressure of sex. This can relieve stress and create a safer space for both partners.
3. Understand Erotic Blueprints: Learn about the different ways people experience pleasure (energetic, sensual, sexual, kinky, and shapeshifter) and how this knowledge can enhance your intimacy.
4. Communicate Openly: Use the five-minute exercise of asking, “What does intimacy mean to you?” to deepen your understanding of your partner’s needs and desires.
5. Small Steps Lead to Big Changes: Even small efforts to reconnect can lead to significant improvements in your relationship’s intimacy and overall satisfaction.

I hope this episode gives you valuable insights and tools to enrich your intimate life. If you found it helpful, please share it with someone who might benefit from it. Much love!
