This is the Authentic Sex Podcast, real-life conversations about sex, pleasure and relationships.

I'm your host, Juliet Allen.

Welcome to episode 96 of the Authentic Sex Podcast.

My name is Juliette. I'm a sexologist and a sex and

a sex and relationship coach. And today we're talking about reigniting desire in long-term

relationships. This is a topic that I'm so passionate about. I'm really interested in it because in the work that I do,

I see a big epidemic in long-term relationships losing desire and losing the spark, the sexual

the sexual spark alive in my own relationship, which leads me to speak about our guests

on the show today. Her name is Michaela Boem, and it's an absolute honor to have Michaela

on the show. Michaela is an intimacy coach.

She teaches and counsels internationally as an expert in intimacy and sexuality.

She's trained in psychology and extensive clinical counseling experience and has

in-depth training in the yogic arts as a classical Kashmiri tantric linear chholder.

Michaela is a beautiful woman with so much wisdom and knowledge. In this episode, we cover heaps.

We talk about the mechanics of desire and attraction versus the mechanics of relationship. We talk about

how to reconnect with our feeling body and the fact that a lot of us are stuck up in our

in our body.

So Michaela gives really great daily practices on how to reconnect with our feeling body as men and women.

We talk about how to maintain a relationship that's exciting, pleasure and arousal cycles

and the differences between men and women.
