In this week’s Self Care Corner, we have an honest and mature conversation about intimacy and the power of slowing things down. Joined by certified sex therapist Dr. Tabilen Tembu, we unpack why many people feel uncomfortable when sex becomes slower and more intentional, and how vulnerability, body insecurities, and lack of communication can affect connection.

Listeners share their experiences — from feeling rushed to struggling to communicate their needs — and the doctor offers practical advice on improving foreplay, building emotional safety, and having open conversations with your partner.

Are we conditioned to rush intimacy? And what does slowing down reveal about us?
