In Episode 11 of The GinaCology Podcast, Gina Cloud interviews tantra and conscious intimacy expert Diana Richardson to explore why modern sex can feel disconnected, and what changes when we slow down, become more present, and learn to trust the body.

They discuss the problems with orgasm-focused sex, emotional safety in sex, performance pressure, porn, intimacy, women’s boundaries, relaxed entry, and how couples can move from chasing sensation toward deeper connection and awareness.
