Libido, desire & sex with meaning & purpose with Elena Rossi

Love, Sex & Intimacy

I loved this interview with Elena Rossi which I recorded late last year. Elena is a female libido specialist, author of two books, pelvic trauma-release therapist and a sex toy designer. Her personal coaching brand is The Yoni Empire.

We covered a lot of fertile topics in this conversation as Elena shared how much misunderstanding and confusion there is about sex, why its important to consider the meaning and purpose of your sex life, the difference between libido and desire, how to create a sex life that is worthy of wanting, how sex can be peaceful, what emotional safety is and how it is foundational to intimacy and a healthy libido, how sex has been diminished to physical sensations and entertainment and what’s possible when you bring in the heart.

We discussed how casual sex can be disempowering, the pressures on women dating and how some women are afraid to say they want a relationship and / or children. We also talked about how sex will evolve over the next decade and how to find the farmers market in your bedroom! It was a rich and powerful conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
