Everlasting Lust: How can sexual heat be maintained as relationships age? And what do we do when it can't?

Rebekah and Gillian explore a listener question on the relationship between lust and love, and the common predicament of dwindling lust in a long term relationship.  Discoveries include:

•  Some evolutionary psych intel on the different instinctual drives of hunting versus nesting and how these might relate to different kinks as well as ebbs and flows in lust
• A relationship anarchy lens on combing out and giving equal weight to the platonic, romantic, and sexual elements of our closest bonds
• The role having kids with someone can play in amping up the "family" brainwaves of relationships and confusing or muting the "lust" department of the brain
• Tried-and-true sex therapy tricks to reframe a lack of sexual desire as a lack of sexual motivation, and to playfully foster such motivation to grow.
