Zoe Kors is a sex & intimacy expert. Sex doesn’t always look like what we see in the movies, and sometimes it doesn’t feel the way we wish it did.

  • What to do if you’re in a sexless marriage
  • When to let go vs. when to keep working 
  • Opening up your marriage to a new level 
  • Arousal and “safety” in the bedroom
  • Changing the way you masturbate
  • The benefits of “edging”

26 Oct 2021It‘s OK to be single and lonely (and life update)00:15:13

Damn, we've really given being single and lonely a bad rap. There's nothing wrong with being single; let's normalize that. There's a lot of beauty and freedom in accepting your loneliness for what it is; an opportunity to deepen your relationship your yourself. And I invite you to see it that way, too. Be OK with being single. Enjoy your solitude and your singleness, even if you wish things were different.

18 Feb 2020Focus on Pleasure Rather Than Orgasm00:15:05

Let's create an environment for an orgasm to come and go as it pleases, rather than being hyper-focused on the orgasm itself. Pleasure and connection is the main goal of lovemaking, not orgasm. Orgasm is a by-product of desire, arousal, safety, intimacy, and pleasure.

Welcome to The Love Drive Helpline; a new format where I answer listener questions that are submitted to me via voicemail! Leave your question here: https://bit.ly/lovedrivehelpline

Today's question comes from Emily about letting a once-in-a-lifetime love go. I share about forgiveness, accepting the consequences of our choices, and how to keep hopeful that love is right around the corner. 

Emily's question [edited for brevity's sake]

"I'm three and half years past a breakup that pretty much rocked my world.

He moved on right away got married right away; there's been no contact, so I can't even see them on social. 

It's hard for me to move past the story that I let a really good love go and that that could have been a once-in-a-lifetime thing and that it might not come back again. 

How do you forgive yourself or how do you get past that and find hope?"

Today's question comes from Sam. [edited for brevity's sake]

 

"I am HIV-positive, and I've been on treatment and undetectable for several years. I'm just starting to date new guys again, and I'm having a really difficult time with the disclosure conversation. I'm not public with my status, and there's a lot of stigmas out there for HIV. So these conversations just make me really nervous. Do you have any advice or tips on having tough conversations like this?"

16 Feb 2021Pep Talk: The 'Inside Job' Needs00:14:50

While all your needs are valid, some of those needs can’t - or won’t - be met by others (no matter how much you want them to or try). 

If your need is tied to your self-esteem, your self-worth, your value, or your love for yourself as a person, it’s going to be nearly impossible for others to meet those needs.

They might try and fail because no amount of them trying will meet the need for self-love.

08 Jan 2019The Best of 2018: Platonic touch, self-love, and calling in 'The One'00:34:01

Are you touched starved? Do you wish you could change something about your body? Are you looking for 'The One' at the expense of building intimacy with others, and yourself? Then you'll want to tune in. 

Today, I bring you my favorite snippets of conversation from the top three most downloaded episodes of 2018. Solomon Krueger discusses the power of platonic touch, Meghan Tonjes talks about what it takes to love one's own body, and Dr. Jordana Jacobs shares with us how to soften our expectations of others and of ourselves in order to help us love more fully.

Finding emotionally available, secure, and loving people to date is the holy grail of the dating world. Find one of these mystical creatures, and you're guaranteed smooth sailing until the end of days. 

Just kidding. But you'll have a better chance at a loving relationship with a kind, caring, and respectful person, and you might avoid some unnecessary heartbreak.

30 Nov 2021The Hard Relationship Questions with Susan Piver00:50:07

In this episode, Susan Piver, New York Times bestselling author and Buddhist teacher, discusses what are the most important questions to ask your partner before committing to them. The point of asking these questions is not to directly come to an agreement, she says, but to get to know our partners intimately.

Susan and Shaun talk about deal-breaker questions in relationships, sharing their insights and experiences with their partners. 

 

What you'll learn (or why you should care):

  • Why loving someone doesn’t necessarily mean you will be able to make a life together
  • How to deal with disagreements in a relationship
  • How to accept changes in our partners

14 Jan 2020Let It Go in 202000:12:57

Letting go doesn't mean giving up; it means releasing control over what you have no control over, which is just about everything.

Your actions and your reactions are the two main factors that you have control over. Everything else is an illusion.

Can you give others space and freedom to show up for you in a way that makes sense for them?

Can you do what you need to do to take care of yourself and let others take care of themselves?

Let it go. All of it. Letting go of control is one of the most liberating actions you can do for yourself.

03 Mar 2020Take a Break, Dude00:10:57

Everyone needs a break, even you. Rest is crucial to growth. If you're working overtime trying to fix, solve, or improve a situation in your life, sometimes a break is what's needed.

Take a step back, put the sword down, and relax. Let time do what it needs to do and relax into the present moment.

And while you do that, I'll join you. The Love Drive is taking March off from publishing podcasts. I'll continue to write and publish micro-blogs on Instagram and on my newsletter. Consider joining me there until April. 

And don't worry, I have some incredible conversations that I'm excited to release in April. Happy March, lovebird.

Now more than ever, we're being asked to be alone. We're being asked to spend time indoors and away from our loved ones. We've never been in this position before. Which is why it's more important than ever to take this opportunity to care for ourselves like never before.

What you'll learn (or why you should care):

23 Mar 2021Learning To Love with Nora McInerny01:11:08

Nora McInerny is an author, podcaster, fellow human, and someone who's learned to live and love with grief. She's also someone I admire a lot, and I'm not gotta lie, I fangirl pretty hard around her.

Today, we're talking about how love is both the most beautiful thing in the world and also awkward, challenging, and complex, and we're all bumbling around trying to figure it out as we go along.

If you've ever wanted to listen to two exuberant people (with ADHD?) talk about love and relationships, this is your episode.

 What you'll learn (or why you should care):

  • Why we overextend and abandon ourselves for love.
  • How we figure out relationships by "learning on each other."
  • The importance of learning to like yourself before you love yourself.

16 Aug 2022Spark, chemistry, and attraction in dating00:21:47

Oh boy. Here's a stream of consciousness about the importance of spark, chemistry, and attraction when meeting a potential partner. 

04 Feb 2020How to Talk about Sexual Health00:13:27

You are 100% responsible for your sexual health. And when you care for your own, you care for your partner's sexual health as well.

If you can't talk about sexual health, you shouldn't be having sex. But don't worry. Talking about it doesn't have to be so scary, especially when you have the exact script to use.

Oh, and let's not forget that being confident talking about sex is a huge turn on.

12 Aug 2019Cultivating Your Pleasure with Euphemia Russell00:58:07

Pleasure is fundamental to happiness, productivity, and health. And in this hyper-productive world, we're likely to put pleasure on the back burner as we strive to get more shit done.

Euphemia Russell is a pleasure educator, and they believe that it's best to do less, better. I agree. Let's focus more on cultivating pleasure within ourselves (and with others) and less on being productive (and oh so busy!)

They've dedicated their life to resourcing people with practical pleasure and embodiment tools through coaching, writing, and facilitation. And they were a delight to connect with on the topics of pleasure, passion, and the power of slow sex.

 

What you'll learn (or why you should care):

• The role of the central nervous system in pleasure activation

• How to release stress in the body using simple daily pleasure practices

• The power of slow sex and the importance of pleasure mapping

21 Jan 2020How To Get Your Needs Met00:17:01

You must learn to advocate for your needs. Because if you don't, who will?

This is your work and no one else's. You are 100% responsible for your happiness and fulfillment in life. 

No one. 

Part one of getting your needs met is to identify what they are. Then to find ways of getting them met, and finally to dare to ask for them to be met.

It's time to get to work. You can do it.

25 Feb 2020The Masculine and The Feminine with Sophie Josephina01:24:45

Welcome to the most intimate episode of the podcast, yet. Sophie Josephina is a conscious sex and intimacy coach and we go deep on the paradox of masculine and feminine energies and their roles in modern relationships.

From how men can own their feminine side while still holding space for their partners, to how women can put their inner-dude aside and fully surrender to the strong masculine. You won't want to miss this. 

 

What you'll learn (or why you should care):

• How to hold space for difficult emotions (including men crying)

• How to be in service while staying in your masculine power

• How women can learn to relax into their feminine while staying safe

14 Dec 2021Helpline: We are meant to be00:10:56

Welcome to The Love Drive Helpline, where I answer questions you submit via voicemail.

Today's question comes from Camilla from North Carolina.

Camilla's question [edited for brevity's sake]

"Hi, this is Camilla calling from North Carolina.

There's someone from my childhood, and we've tried things on and off, but it hasn't worked, and we live in different states. 

I feel that we're supposed to be together in my heart, and I'm waiting on life to just do that.  What if you feel that you're meant to be with someone, but life doesn't work that way?"

24 Dec 2019Free Love Advice: Get Your Needs Met00:27:08

What does it mean to have your needs met? Can you get clear on what those needs are, and then find language to communicate those needs in a way that is easy for people to meet? Can you dumb your needs down a bit so that folks can succeed at meeting them? That's what we're exploring today. Make your needs easy to meet. 

What happens when the values you hold dear don't line up with those of your partner? How do you leave a loving relationship, knowing that you deserve more? How do you both honor your relationship, and celebrate it, while honoring yourself and leave it?

Today, we explore those answers.
