(Replay) Mismatched libidos with Kai Werder

September 17, 2026 · The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos

(Replay from 2020)

What happens when one person wants sex more often than the other?

In this conversation with sex educator Kai Werder, we talk about mismatched libidos, responsive vs. spontaneous desire, how to talk about sex without pressure, and why intimacy doesn’t always have to lead to sex.

We also get into scheduling play, creating the conditions for desire, and the three-part invite—one of my favorite ways to ask for what you want while making room for a no.

New episodes of The Love Drive return in October.
