Send a textMost people think relationships fail because someone stopped trying, cheated, or they just picked wrong. But what if relationships follow a predictable pattern — and most of us are sabotaging them at the exact same stage without even knowing it?In this episode, I sit down with Thais Gibson — founder of Personal Development School, bestselling author, and one of the world's leading experts on attachment theory — to break down the six stages every relationship moves through, why most collapse at stage three, and what your attachment style is actually doing to your love life, your desire, and your ability to stay.I also get personal. About the patterns I've repeated. About staying in relationships I should have left. About what it took to finally see myself clearly enough to stop.If you've ever wondered why you keep ending up in the same relationship with a different person — this episode is your answer.What you'll learn: Why chemistry isn't compatibility and what actually drives attraction • The six stages every relationship moves through • Where most relationships die and why • What your attachment style is doing to your sex life at every stage • How to actually change your attachment style in 90 days • Why doing the work together is the only thing that saves a relationshipFind Thais at https://university.personaldevelopmentschool.com/ — free attachment quiz at the link🎧 Subscribe for weekly sex and intimacy how-tos on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@talksexwithannetteGet your subscription for my After Hours audio-guided pleasure/intimate experience here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1692988/subscribeSubscribe to my OF: https://talksexwithannette.com/talk-sex-with-me/Join in my 365 Days of Orgasms Journey Here: https://talksexwithannette.com/365-days-of-orgasms/Use Code EXPLORES15 at Womanizer.com for 15% off! 15% Off With my Code Annette15 at myfirmtech.com/annettebenedetti  The viral lemon-shaped toy everyone’s talking about — get 25% off with code ANNETTE25 at https://talksexwithannette.com/go/sp/hello-nancy-lem 🍋  Get 15% Off The Life Saving, Erection Enhancing Tech Cockring By Firmtech with my code ANNETTE15 at: https://myfirmtech.com/annettebenedettiSupport the show Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@annettebenedetti Connect with usWe are on all the socials: TikTok: @TalkSexwithAnnette Annette's Insta: @Annette Benedetti My OF: @talksexwithannette FB: @TalksexwithAnnette Website: https://talksexwithannette.com Cheers!

Send a textMost men assume she just doesn't enjoy it.

Send a textMost advice about sexual attraction is either vague, manipulative, or flat-out wrong.This episode isn’t about tricks, lines, or “alpha” posturing. It’s about what actually creates sexual attraction — in real bodies, real moments, and real connection.In this episode, I break down five specific things that reliably make women feel sexually attracted, based on psychology, nervous-system science, and what women consistently respond to — not what dating culture thinks they should.You’ll learn:Why attraction dies when desire gets turned into hesitationHow to express interest in a way that feels confident and safeWhat overstaying the moment does to desire (and why less really is more)How presence, timing, and responsiveness matter more than performanceWhy attraction isn’t about convincing someone — it’s about how you show upThese aren’t manipulation tactics. They’re behavioral shifts that create clarity, tension, and genuine pull — without pressure, games, or crossing boundaries.If you’ve ever wondered why things start strong but lose heat, or why connection doesn’t always turn into desire, this episode will change how you understand attraction — and how you move inside it.🎧 Subscribe for weekly sex and intimacy how-tosGet your subscription for my After Hours audio-guided pleasure/intimate experience here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1692988/subscribeSubscribe to my OF: https://talksexwithannette.com/talk-sex-with-me/Join in my 365 Days of Orgasms Journey Here: https://talksexwithannette.com/365-days-of-orgasms/Use Code EXPLORES15 at Womanizer.com for 15% off! 15% Off With my Code Annette15 at myfirmtech.com/annettebenedetti Get 15% Off The Life Saving, Erection Enhancing Tech Cockring By Firmtech with my code ANNETTE15 at: https://myfirmtech.com/annettebenedettiSupport the show Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@annettebenedetti Connect with usWe are on all the socials: TikTok: @TalkSexwithAnnette Annette's Insta: @Annette Benedetti My OF: @talksexwithannette FB: @TalksexwithAnnette Website: https://talksexwithannette.com Cheers!

Send a textThis Talk Sex With Annette topic takes the show back to its roots when it was just a girl's sex talk podcast.For too long, women’s most honest conversations about sex have happened in whispers — in group chats, locker rooms, and over wine when no one’s listening.But what happens when we stop whispering?In this episode, I sit down with writer and pleasure activist Tash Doherty, the bold voice behind Miseducated, to talk about what women really say about sex when you’re not in the room — and why it changes everything when we take the mic.We dive into:• The orgasm gap and why it still exists • Pegging, anal equality, and rewriting the sexual script • Why women fake orgasms (and why it hurts everyone) • How speaking openly about sex transforms relationships • What men need to understand about female pleasureThis isn’t just about women talking about desire. It’s about rewriting the rules of sex — for everyone.If you’ve ever wondered what women really think about sex… this episode is your invitation to find out.Check out Tash's Intimacy Journal Here: https://www.tashdoherty.com/shopFind her on Substack: https://misseducated.substack.com/🎧 Subscribe for weekly sex and intimacy how-tosGet your subscription for my After Hours audio-guided pleasure/intimate experience here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1692988/subscribeSubscribe to my OF: https://talksexwithannette.com/talk-sex-with-me/Join in my 365 Days of Orgasms Journey Here: https://talksexwithannette.com/365-days-of-orgasms/Use Code EXPLORES15 at Womanizer.com for 15% off! 15% Off With my Code Annette15 at myfirmtech.com/annettebenedetti  The viral lemon-shaped toy everyone’s talking about — get 25% off with code ANNETTE25 at https://talksexwithannette.com/go/sp/hello-nancy-lem 🍋  Get 15% Off The Life Saving, Erection Enhancing Tech Cockring By Firmtech with my code ANNETTE15 at: https://myfirmtech.com/annettebenedettiSupport the show Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@annettebenedetti Connect with usWe are on all the socials: TikTok: @TalkSexwithAnnette Annette's Insta: @Annette Benedetti My OF: @talksexwithannette FB: @TalksexwithAnnette Website: https://talksexwithannette.com Cheers!
