"Sex Is A Family Emergency": Why Most Marriages Die After 5 Years - Olori Coitus

For many people, sex is still one of those conversations wrapped in silence, discomfort, shame, or misinformation. Yet, behind closed doors, a lot of relationships and marriages quietly struggle because these conversations never happen openly. Many of us grew up hearing “don’t talk about it” without ever being taught how to understand intimacy, communicate properly, or separate truth from myth. In this episode of The Echo Podcast, we sit with Yeside Olayinka-Agbola — popularly known as Olori Coitus — a public health and sexual health educator, as she unpacks how culture, silence, upbringing, and misinformation shape the way people approach sex, intimacy, and communication in relationships. Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode: • Why communication is one of the most important parts of intimacy • What many people misunderstand about foreplay and connection • Why sex education goes beyond just abstinence • Why sex should not be approached as a performance • How curiosity changes intimacy in relationships • The pressure many couples silently carry around sex and marriage • Honest conversations around lubrication, ejaculation, scheduling intimacy, and much more. If you care about healthier relationships, better communication, and deeper understanding around intimacy and sexual health, this is a conversation worth watching. 🔔Subscribe to @the_olushola for more topical conversations. 🎧Listen on Spotify @olusholaolaleye: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Ju6...
