With over two decades of clinical practice under her belt, Vanessa is here to debunk the myths and misconceptions surrounding desire, pleasure, and sex.

Vanessa's mission is clear: to empower individuals to create a fulfilling and enjoyable sex life, regardless of their relationship status.
Vanessa introduces us to the concept of two distinct sex drive types: spontaneous and responsive. While the spontaneous type feels mental desire first, the majority of women, about 85%, fall under the responsive category, experiencing physical arousal before mental desire kicks in. Understanding these sex drive types is crucial in navigating intimacy and improving connection with our partners. Vanessa emphasizes the importance of communication and teamwork in relationships, highlighting how daily interactions and feelings of disconnection can impact our sex lives.
Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, Vanessa encourages listeners to prioritize intimacy and overcome the taboo surrounding sex education. She shares practical advice on how to address sexual issues, enhance communication with partners, and reignite the spark in long-term relationships. By normalizing conversations about sex and intimacy, Vanessa aims to equip individuals with the tools to build stronger, more satisfying connections with their partners. So buckle up and get ready to revolutionize your approach to sex and relationships with Vanessa Marin on the Mel Robbins podcast.
