IN THIS EPISODE:
Colin grew up with two therapist parents, one of whom was a sex therapist. He learned a lot about emotions, sex, safety, consent, and talking openly from them. These things were really important to him and shaped his core values as he became a man. His wife also thought he was very caring, gentle, and understanding. But despite this, their sex life got worse over the 20 years they were married, and neither of them knew why.
Colin talks with Janna about the big things he painfully realized that were missing from his sexual education. It was hard for him to accept these truths, but now he sees hope for a better relationship with his wife and more fulfilling intimacy in the future.

It was very reassuring to hear about Colin’s wife, because it made me feel normal! Her lack of understanding as to why she pulled back from physical affection with her husband resonates deeply with me. My chikdhopd upbringing and initial sexual experiences are similar to hers, as well as the evolution of sex and intimacy with my husband (we were each other’s first intercourse experience). As time has gone on (we’ve been together for almost 17 years), it feels challenging to meet each other on a common ground, sexually. Thank you for the transparency of this podcast!
