Episode Summary
This week on The Purple Passion Project, we’re turning up the heat with Dr. Rachel Needle — Licensed Psychologist, Certified Sex Therapist, and Co-Director of the Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. We dive deep into the world of orgasm and pleasure for both women and men — from women who struggle to reach climax to men dealing with finishing too soon (or not at all). Dr. Needle and I explore what it really takes to create satisfying, connected sex — how to communicate your needs without shame, get out of your head and into your body, and keep desire alive at any age. We’ll also tackle the myth that libido fades over time and look at how social media and technology are shaping our sexual confidence today. This episode is honest, flirty, and full of take-home tips for making sex feel better — not just more frequent.
