Ep. 69 - The Body Knows Best: Sara Perry on Desire, Intimacy, and Somatic Sexual Therapy

What if the real barrier to intimacy isn’t finding the right person—but learning how to be honest with the one you’re with?
In this episode of Dateless in Delray, Susan Shoer sits down with Sara Perry for a candid, thoughtful conversation about the parts of relationships most people avoid. Sara is a somatic sex coach and founder of Haven Space Coaching. She works with individuals and couples navigating trauma, chronic pain, and complicated relationships with intimacy—bringing a shame-free, consent-centered approach to pleasure and connection.
Together, they explore what it really means to communicate desires, set boundaries, and create intimacy that goes beyond surface-level connection.
In this episode, they discuss:
• The truth about non-monogamy and why it’s often misunderstood
• How somatic sex therapy helps people reconnect with their bodies
• Why honesty—not chemistry—is the foundation of real intimacy
• How to talk about desires, boundaries, and difficult topics without fear
This is an honest, eye-opening conversation about connection, communication, and giving yourself permission to want what you want.
