Desire vs. Expectation — Why Pressure Kills Wanting
In this episode of Sexpertease, Erica Rivera explores the hidden reason desire disappears: pressure. From cultural expectations to internalized shame, we unpack how obligation, performance, and “shoulds” quietly shut down arousal. Learn why desire thrives in safety, how the nervous system responds to expectation, and what happens when we stop measuring intimacy and start listening to the body. This episode begins a four-part January series, Relearning Desire — a compassionate reset for anyone who feels disconnected from wanting.
