Summary
Francie tackles another listener question — one of the most personal and practical she receives: How can I help my husband better learn what brings me pleasure?
What she loves about this question is the word the listener used: learn. Because that's exactly the right frame. Becoming a great lover isn't about natural talent or chemistry — it's about paying attention, practicing, and becoming a student of each other. And for most women, before they can teach their husband anything, there's a more foundational step: learning what brings them pleasure themselves.
Francie gets honest about how many women — herself included — have been so trained to dissociate from their bodies and silence their desires that they've lost touch with what they actually want. The "duty wife" script, the shame around pleasure, the pressure to just meet his needs — all of it has quietly robbed women of the ability to even answer the question their husband is asking: What do you like?
This episode is the answer. Francie walks through how to re-attune to sensation, how to start naming what feels good, how to wake up your five senses as a pathway to communicating desire — and she closes with a beautifully practical framework that every couple can use starting tonight: the 3 P's — Place, Pace, and Pressure.
Warm, practical, and full of Francie's signature mix of honesty and joy.
The 3 P Framework
A simple, practical tool for teaching your husband what brings you pleasure:
Place — Where on your body do you want to feel sensation? Name specific places and help him understand what type of touch feels good where.
Pace — How long do you want him there? A brief kiss on the neck when he walks in the door is different from lingering during intimacy. When a wife is becoming aroused, staying with what's working rather than moving on too quickly makes all the difference.
Pressure — Firm or feather-light? Intense or gentle? These descriptors help him understand exactly how you want to be touched, not just where.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Female by Design podcast, an honest space for female flourishing. |
| 0:07.8 | I'm Francie Winslow. |
| 0:09.9 | Together we'll explore sexuality and spirituality by God's design, healing our relationship |
| 0:16.9 | with pleasure, our bodies, and our identity as beloved image bearers. So let's take a deep breath |
| 0:24.6 | and step into God's invitation to live fully alive as women, mind, body, and spirit. I'm so glad you're |
| 0:35.2 | here. Hi friends, it's Francie. |
| 0:38.0 | Welcome back to Female by Design. |
| 0:40.2 | Today we are tackling another listener question. |
| 0:43.4 | How can I help my husband better learn what brings me pleasure? |
| 0:47.6 | I love this question. |
| 0:48.7 | I love that this wife is thinking about communicating what it looks like for her husband to connect with her |
| 0:57.6 | pleasure and her desire for pleasure and her capacity for more pleasure. |
| 1:02.9 | And it is such a common question, not only how do we communicate about our sex life in general, |
| 1:07.4 | but how do I specifically communicate what brings me pleasure and how do I |
| 1:13.5 | help him learn? And I love the idea that she used the word learn because ding-n-n-ding, |
| 1:18.8 | that is the key. We have to learn these things. It doesn't come naturally. It's like we speak |
| 1:24.8 | different languages, male and female female and our sexuality is a language |
| 1:28.3 | that many of us have never learned. We've never learned to speak of desire, to connect with pleasure, |
| 1:34.1 | to have a sense of integration as it relates to our sexuality without shame. And so as a result, |
| 1:41.5 | we shut it down, we dissociate from our body from the notion of pleasure, from sensation, in order to be holy or to be good or to not get in trouble. |
| 1:51.5 | And as a result, we have this disconnect. How do I even communicate? I love also that she emphasized, how do I help my husband better learn what brings me pleasure because husbands |
| 2:02.2 | need to learn what brings their wife pleasure. Oftentimes I hear from women that like a husband |
