Pressure around sex is a common challenge so many of us face and it can transform an opportunity for connection and pleasure into a daunting and stress-inducing ordeal. Navigating performance anxiety, differences in libido or desires, and expectations that you should feel differently than you do can make enjoying intimacy feel inaccessible if not impossible. Feeling pressure around intimacy and sex is common, and if unaddressed can feed on itself creating long-term consequences for your ability to feel pleasure and comfort with lovers and partners and result in a pressure-rejection cycle.
Whether you're navigating a new romance or in a long-term relationship, addressing and alleviating this pressure is a crucial step toward feeling more connected with your body and your lover. Join intimacy coaches and educators Dr. Alison Ash and Sebastian Clarke and learn how to reduce pressure so you can reclaim your authentic desire and feel empowered to move towards connection and pleasure.

Reviews
"We have tried so many things that haven’t worked and I can honestly say this was the profound reset for our relationship that I had started to question if it was even possible. I am so grateful to Dr. Aly and Seb for their assistance, humor, and thoughtfulness in the ways they made the material so accessible and applicable." - C. T.
"This workshop gave us the traction we’ve been hungry for in a way that feels authentic, accessible and real. We know what we need to work on and what each of us can do to show up more fully for the other. We already feel so much closer and are excited to continue to put this into action so we can maintain our intimacy." - J.C.
"My partner and I have been so caught up in parenting, work and life that we had started to feel more like coworkers than in a relationship. We left feeling more connected both emotionally and sexually and also so much clearer about what caused us to fall into that rut and how to avoid it moving forward. We wholeheartedly recommend this course!" - S. M.
