Regulation: The Real Foreplay

Before the heat, there has to be safety—and sometimes, pleasure is the pathway.

In this episode, somatic sex coach Meryl Victoria joins Aimee to explore the powerful link between the nervous system and intimacy. From polyvagal theory to embodied arousal, we’re flipping the script on what turns you on.

We dive into:

How nervous system regulation sets the stage for deeper connection
Why some bodies shut down—and how to invite them back online
Using sex as a tool for nervous system regulation
Somatic practices to shift from freeze to flow

Whether you’re craving more connection or curious about why you feel “off” in the bedroom, this episode is your roadmap. Because regulation is the real foreplay—and sometimes, pleasure is the medicine.
