Summary
If your sex life has started to feel a little... predictable, this episode is for you.
Francie brings the fun today — and she means it. Great sex isn't meant to be heavy, dutiful, or overly serious. It's meant to be lighthearted, connecting, and genuinely enjoyable. A joyful heart really is good medicine, and that includes what happens in the bedroom.
Francie shares 13 practical ideas for bringing more fun, playfulness, and novelty into your intimate life — everything from the surprisingly simple to the a-little-spicy. Some of them will make you laugh. Some of them will make you nudge your husband. All of them are doable.
Don't try to do all 13 at once. Just listen, pick the one that makes you think ooh, we could do that — and go do that.
Great sex is not an achievement. It's an adventure — and you're invited.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Female by Design podcast, an honest space for female flourishing. I'm Francie Winslow. |
| 0:10.6 | Together we'll explore sexuality and spirituality by God's design, healing our relationship with |
| 0:17.9 | pleasure, our bodies, and our identity as beloved image bearers. |
| 0:23.8 | So let's take a deep breath and step into God's invitation to live fully alive as women, mind, |
| 0:32.3 | body, and spirit. I'm so glad you're here. |
| 0:37.0 | Hey friends, it's Francie. Welcome back to the female by design |
| 0:40.4 | podcast. We are currently working through a series called Great Sex Grows. And today's conversation |
| 0:46.8 | revolves around how great sex grows when we have fun. Not sure about you, but I grew up in the height of the purity culture, which, |
| 0:56.2 | you know, it was a time. But one of the things that I was really afraid of was having too much |
| 1:01.7 | fun. I was pretty disconnected from the idea that fun was permissible. And so when I got married, |
| 1:07.7 | I didn't know how to loosen up. I didn't know how to be creative. I didn't know how to |
| 1:11.3 | enjoy intimacy without shame. And so if that is you, you are not alone. This episode is going to be |
| 1:19.3 | packed with some really fun things to do to remember how to kindle the spark. If you've been |
| 1:23.8 | married for a while or creative ways to create the spark, if this is new territory for you. |
| 1:28.7 | But either way, this is an invitation to remember fun, to remember lightheartedness and some really simple practicals to get you going in that direction. |
| 1:37.5 | But if you were raised in the purity culture and you're wanting to get past some of those barriers of shame, some of those lies of fear, |
| 1:47.2 | around fear of your body, around the fear of sex, around the sense of feeling afraid of your |
| 1:54.6 | sexuality and afraid of pleasure. If any of that resonates, I have a resource on my website |
| 1:59.5 | called a growth guide because growth is important and growth is a wonderful invitation to healing. |
| 2:05.9 | And the growth guide I have in mind for you today is all about overcoming purity culture mindsets and walking in pure pleasure, knowing that pure pleasure was God's design and pleasure is in the heart of God. |
| 2:19.5 | Absolutely. |
| 2:20.2 | For you, it's written all over your body. |
