This is how we do it: ‘I’d compare myself with other women and end up having panic attacks’
Lana and Jake didn’t talk about sex for years, but since they opened up their love life has been transformed
TL;DR
- Lana initially felt pressure around sex and struggled with anxiety, impacting her sexual experiences with Jake.

- They have since developed open communication, discussing what feels good and asking about each other's needs during intimacy.
- Jake has been supportive, helping Lana with anxiety and teaching her that intimacy encompasses more than just sex.
- This improved communication has led to more fulfilling sexual experiences and reduced pressure.
- They have explored resources like the Kama Sutra to enhance their openness and are working through embarrassment.
- Jake has also learned to be more open and emotionally available in their relationship.
