The Truth About Mismatched Desire in Relationships with Coral Osborne | Ep. 160 (Part 1)

Low libido and mismatched desire create frustration in so many relationships. Most people blame hormones or assume something is broken. The truth goes deeper. In this episode, I sit down with Coral Osborne, former escort turned intimacy coach for high-performing men. She shares what men are really struggling with when it comes to s*x, desire, and connection. We talk about performance anxiety, shame, p0rn, emotional avoidance, and why many men feel safer being vulnerable in transactional settings than in their own relationships. If your s*x life feels disconnected, this episode will change how you see it.
