Marriage and Martinis – January 18, 2021
Marriage and Martinis is an attempt to present a real, authentic marriage at its core: the love, hate, teamwork, struggles, laughter, humiliation, and ever-changing dynamics that comprise spousal relationships.
So many of us are feeling like we have hit the “pandemic wall.” Sex and intimacy coach Leah Carey helps us understand what baby steps we can take to bring that connection back, and try to keep the frustration and distance we feel with our partners
down to a minimum until life resumes as we once knew it (or as close to that as possible). We discuss how medication, alcohol, job loss, and monetary worries are all affecting people’s sex drive. (More Marriage & Martinis appearances

Relationship contracts are a hot topic lately, but what makes a contract effective and non-offensive to the parties involved?
Real Men Feel encourages men to allow, share, and feel whatever is going on for them. All human beings have the right to be human, the right to feel and express all of their emotions.
Leah and Andy talk about what it takes to create a truly connected sexual experience. Join us for an open exploration of sexuality, intimacy, and the questions men most often ask her about sex.
Take a deep dive into a featured guest’s personal history; the pivotal moments of their childhood and adulthood that defined them and the crucial and sometimes painful decisions they made that forever changed the course of their lives
Most of Leah Carey’s memories growing up are black spots. Her dad was an alcoholic and he was abusive to her and her mom. He would tell her how unhappy he was with her mother and that Leah should at all costs avoid growing up to be like her. He discussed his sex life with Leah, talked about her body in a sexual way, and exposed her to sexual content in the home. Even when she moved out of the house their relationship remained very strained and Leah increasingly felt like she was shrinking inside and that she needed to disappear. As an adult she took a trip that would mark the beginning of her sexual awakening. She had her first experience with a woman, learned about tantric sex, and began to heal from the trauma that had marked most of her life

In light of the outcry of women on their safety and issues around sexual exploitation of women across the world, this episode emphasises on the importance of establishing a sex positive culture, where women’s sexual rights and freedoms are celebrated, not oppressed.
➡️ We women have all seen, heard of, or experienced sex negative relationships, where the sexualities of women are not respected, prioritised or just not acknowledged entirely. This sex negativity can, and in many cases has, build up into a hostile and abusive environment, with women reduced to sex objects for the pleasure of their partners (who tend to be men).
Leah Carey tried to be a “good girl” for decades before waking up sexually in her early 40s. She had a rough childhood.
Her dad was an alcoholic and emotionally abused Leah and her mom. He spoke to Leah sexually about her body and told her she was fat and ugly. Later he said he was going to lock her in her room until she was 30 and break the kneecaps of any boy who showed interest in her. This combination of verbal abuse and protectiveness led her to feel confused.
