The Mental Load of Intimacy

Emotional Burnout vs Sexual Burnout, pt. 1 of 2 When stress becomes constant, desire disappears. In this week’s Sexpertease, host Erica Rivera unpacks the link between emotional burnout and intimacy — why mental exhaustion silences desire and how couples can rebuild connection without guilt or pressure. Learn the difference between fatigue and depletion, why emotional safety fuels arousal, and how to turn everyday stress into an opportunity for reconnection. This week’s episode is a focused, slightly shorter deep-dive — designed to lay the groundwork for next Tuesday’s continuation: Part 2 — Rest as Reclamation. Because intimacy isn’t lost; it’s waiting underneath the overwhelm. Download the e360tv app on Google Play, Amazon FireTV, Roku, AndroidTV, Apple TV, or the Apple App Store to stream live.
