Why Taking a Break From Sex Might Be the Secret to Better Sex (ft. Catherine Drysdale)

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) gets back in bed with sex & relationship coach Catherine Drysdale for the most honest, nuanced conversation about voluntary celibacy you’ve ever heard. Together they break down how intentionally stepping away from partnered sex can reset your dating patterns, raise your standards, calm your nervous system, help you stop centering dating/sex, reconnect you to your body, and ultimately make your sex life better.

In this episode, Catherine opens up about:

  • What voluntary celibacy actually means
  • Why she’s chosen celibacy multiple times
  • Libido dips during high-stress seasons– Prioritizing outercourse for better sex
  • Celibacy as a tool for breaking validation cycles
  • How to stop centering dating, sex and external validation
  • Dating while celibate & setting clear boundaries
  • How long a celibacy period should last
  • How to decide when to re-enter sex or dating into your life
  • What she learned about sexual compatibility
  • The “reset effect” on desire and self-esteem
  • How celibacy helped her see red flags sooner
  • Why a sex break often leads to better sex
  • How to be more intentional once you start having sex again
