    Nov 13 2025
    Furkhan welcomes Xanet to discuss the stigma and shame surrounding sex in relationships. Xanet shares her personal journey of overcoming challenges in a 26-year sexless marriage due to unresolved trauma, and how she transformed her life to become a sex and intimacy educator. The conversation delves into the reasons behind sexual disconnection, such as trauma, body image issues, and performance anxiety, while emphasizing the importance of communication, connection, and mutual understanding. They also explore the impact of external factors like children and pets, the misconceptions around sexual frequency, and ways to repair intimacy issues through improved communication and empathy.

Xanet believes that pleasure is our birthright, and she is passionate about helping individuals find their way back into their bodies, their desires, and their pleasure. Over the past decade, she has helped rescue hundreds of couples from unsatisfying sex lives and has helped women who are sexually shut down learn how to love themselves, their bodies, and reclaim their desire.
