🎙️ Zessions Episode: Let’s Talk About Talking About Sex

Sex is everywhere — except in the conversations we actually have. Why is that?

In this episode of Zessions, we sit down with Zessio Partner and sex therapist Jess Worthington, LMFT, to explore why talking about sex is so hard — and how we can start doing it better. From early childhood messaging to religious shame, from performance anxiety to partnership pressure, we unpack it all.

Together, we explore:

  • Why most of us were never taught how to talk about sex — and why that matters
  • How childhood messages shape our adult sexual communication
  • What to do when desire feels mismatched or intimacy gets stuck
  • A real-life case study on rebuilding sexual connection without focusing on intercourse
  • Playful, affirming ways to reintroduce pleasure, curiosity, and consent into the conversation
  • The link between emotional safety and sexual satisfaction
  • How to start sex talks that don’t feel heavy, critical, or awkward

Whether you’re a clinician supporting couples or someone navigating your own relationship, this conversation will help you rethink what it means to be intimate — and how to talk about it, on purpose.
