We all assume we know why people have sex, pleasure, love, connection. But when you actually ask people, the answers are far more nuanced and, at times, surprising.

Some people have sex to feel close. Others to avoid conflict, boost their ego, satisfy curiosity, reclaim power, or even get revenge. In this episode, Dr. Jenn Kennedy pulls back the covers on the real motivations behind why humans have sex and why understanding your personal “why” can fundamentally change how you experience intimacy.

This conversation isn’t just about sex, it’s about what drives us, shapes our choices, and influences how we connect. When you can name your motivations, you gain more agency, clarity, and pleasure in your relationships.

Listen now and start seeing your desires, and yourself, more clearly.
