Sex Therapy Part 1: Where Do Couples Get Stuck?

July 9, 2025

In this episode of Relationship Advice, Cayla and Lauren are joined by sex therapist Bryttney Huseas to explore where couples commonly get stuck when it comes to sex. They dive deep into how differing arousal types—spontaneous vs. responsive—create misunderstandings, pressure, and disconnect, often fueled by cultural myths about what sex “should” look like. Offering practical tools for fostering empathy, building an “erotic team” mentality, and taking personal responsibility for sexual connection and communication.

They talk about:

- Spontaneous vs. Responsive Desire

- Cultural Norms & Misinformation

- Personal Responsibility for Sexual Connection

- Judgment & Safety in Communication

- and more!
