Sex, OCD & Friendship Breakups (ft. Haley Jakobson)

Sex, OCD & Friendship Breakups (ft. Haley Jakobson)

Sexologist Alexa Andre (@sexwithalexa) gets in bed with Haley Jakobson, author of Old Enough, bisexual Dream Girl, and OCD Princess, to talk about friendship, therapy, OCD, and sex. Haley opens up about how her OCD has shaped her relationships, sexuality, creative life and how vulnerability and repair have transformed her friendships and intimacy.

We discuss:

  • The importance of friendship and why it can be even more transformative than romantic love

  • Learning to fight and repair conflict with friends instead of avoiding it

  • Friendship breakups, grief, and when to let go vs. when to repair

  • How attachment styles (anxious vs. avoidant) affect friendships and conflict

  • The parallels between romantic and platonic relationship skills

  • Navigating OCD, intrusive thoughts, and relationship anxiety

  • Sexual shame, low libido, and reconnecting with desire during recovery

  • The impact of COVID on libido, self-pleasure, and intimacy

  • How OCD and anxiety affect sexual intimacy and self-image

  • Learning to find satisfaction without pressure to perform sexually

  • Haley’s upcoming novel Cave Girl and the story behind its title
