In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD, delves into the challenges couples face when aiming to rekindle erotic passion and shares her perspective on how to maintain a passionate, intimate relationship over the years. Dr. Alexandra addresses a listener's heartfelt question about whether it's even possible to reignite the erotic spark in a marriage, especially when young children and life's demands take center stage. She emphasizes the importance of both partners being committed to the quality of their connection and offers practical advice for couples, particularly for men, on how to revive intimacy that has waned. This includes carving out dedicated time for closeness, engaging all the senses to foster connection and excitement, and maintaining open, non-blaming communication to deepen emotional bonds.
Also in this episode:
Both partners must be fully invested in rekindling their intimate life. If one isn't ready, it's important to address and process any grievance about that in a healthy way, which includes finding out if the other partner wants to focus on this in the future.
Let intimacy develop naturally through sensory engagement and emotional connection, rather than rushing into sexual activity.
For a deeper connection, engage all five senses—sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Set aside regular, dedicated time for intimacy, free from daily distractions, to focus entirely on one another.
Honest, non-blaming conversations about needs and desires are key to understanding each other and reigniting the passion in your relationship. This helps create a safe space for emotional and physical closeness.

In this episode of the Intimate Marriage Podcast, Alexandra Stockwell, MD discusses female orgasms in great detail, in honor of National Orgasm Day. She explores the origins of the day, various types of orgasms, and the differences between "masculine" and "feminine" orgasms. She also explores different types of orgasms, emphasizing that the classification is based on the anatomy and physiology being stimulated. Dr. Alexandra speaks on one way to enhance orgasmic potential, namely slow, deep breathing, as she encourages listeners to explore new realms of erotic intimacy with their partners.
Also in this episode:
Feminine orgasms are diverse and often misunderstood, requiring an open perspective to fully appreciate their complexity.
Unlike masculine orgasms, feminine orgasms can be non-linear, with varied patterns of arousal, climax, and resolution.
Deep, slow breathing can significantly enhance one's ability to experience richer and more fulfilling orgasms.
For many couples and individuals, male and female, they aspire to the typical masculine orgasm model that aims for climax. But in fact, some of the richest, expansive, erotically vital experiences happen with a more feminine approach to orgasm.
