Episode 74: Your Sex Questions Answered, Part One
We're back from our sabbatical and comin' in hot with a two-part episode you've been begging us to cover: SEX! Today we're tackling your sex and intimacy questions with expert and psychologist Dr. Juli Slattery. From frequency and mismatched sex drives to how to spice things up, no topic is too taboo. This is not an episode designed for little ears, so grab your headphones and settle in for a frank, honest, and encouraging conversation about connecting intimately with your partner in a hectic season of life. Special thank you to our Patrons for submitting questions for this episode!

Editor’s note: We invited Dr. Juli Slattery as our podcast guest to answer our listeners' questions about marital intimacy. We're aware that areas of her website and writings reflect a viewpoint of human sexuality that is not held by our whole audience or even by the Coffee + Crumbs team at large. We felt that her opinions expressed elsewhere did not preclude her addressing the topics we covered, and we're pleased with the wisdom and sensitivity with which she addressed the questions we posed. However, her presence as a guest on our podcast should not be construed as an endorsement of her stances on all issues. We're mindful of and grateful for the diversity of viewpoints in the Coffee + Crumbs community, and we will continue to strive for stories that are told with care and respect.
