Description

Doing It Together is about empowering women and men to heal from cultural messages so that they can discover true pleasure and connection in their sexual relationship and marriage. This podcast addresses the common dynamic in a heterosexual relationship in which the wife doesn’t want and enjoy sex and the husband does.Too often, the focus is placed on labels like “low libido” and “low sex drive” without addressing the root issues including physical and emotional safety, shame, porn use, unintentional pressure, lack of emotional awareness, and many others.I’m Janna Denton-Howes, a Relationship Coach and Sex Educator who has specialized in this one area for the last 7 years, helping thousands of couples create a sex life that both partners can look forward to and genuinely enjoy. I’ve developed Doing It Together (formally known as “Wanting It More”), a unique program offering both men and women the tools, skills, and support to do the work required for a healthy and sustainable intimate life.If you’re looking for a fresh perspective on how to have a great sex life that is truly nourishing, connecting, and fulfilling without any feelings of obligation, duty, or guilt, this is the podcast for you!

Navigating Sex Addiction as a Black Man - with Dr. Kervins Clement | Ep. 181
2026/02/03
My podcast guest is Dr. Kervins Clement and his story is one that I hear about all the time- where a dependency on porn use and masturbation is justified as helping the relationship when, in fact, it often does the opposite.  In this episode we explore: How Kervins’ own recovery shaped the way he now works with men and couples.What his research revealed about the role of culture and history in treating Black men with sex addiction.Why guilt and remorse don’t reliably stop lying and secrecy in addiction.What partners actually need after betrayal and where their focus often goes too soon. This is a thoughtful, nuanced conversation that isn’t just about sex addiction- it’s about honesty, courage and what healing truly requires.

Why Trying Harder Is Making Your Sex Life Worse | Ep. 179
2026/01/21
There is no shortcut to heal from a toxic world that has tricked us into thinking sex is just a series of acts designed to physically stimulate us. The only way through is to slow down, unlearn and heal- not just for your marriage but for your well-being.  It’s understanding safety, not just physically, but emotionally. It’s questioning the model of sex you were handed, instead of trying to perform it better. It’s rebuilding trust with your own body. And, when you’re doing this together, it’s learning how to create a sexual environment that doesn’t require forcing, convincing, or enduring. This is exactly what I talk about in the podcast episode today- why trying harder is often the very thing that makes sex feel worse, not better.

Low Libido & Bad Sex- What Women Don't Say | Ep. 177
2026/01/06
Many women I talk to struggle enjoying physical touch during sex. They don’t know their experience can be any other way so they continue trying to enjoy things they don’t like and then label themselves as “non-sexual”.  In our conversation, my husband and I discuss: • why so many women push themselves to initiate or say yes even when their body is clearly uncomfortable • why discomfort is so often normalized through culture, media, and silence • the real fears women carry about speaking up and the consequences they’re trying to avoid • why this can feel shocking or confusing for men when the truth finally comes out If having a closer, more connected and joyful sex life is something you want in your relationship, this episode is an important one to listen to.

When Your Husband Wants Sex and You Feel Anxious | Ep. 175
2025/12/23
Today on the podcast I recorded a short and sweet solo episode for you but really it’s a love-letter to my former self. Anxiety (just a different term for “fear”) is telling you something and if you are feeling it around sex, there is something to learn. And I promise you, it’s not that you are broken and that nothing will ever work. I used to believe that too but that thought will only keep you stuck. Listen and trust yourself and please, please, please get some support for this. It’s not going to change on it’s own.

The Expectations for Sex on Special Occasions | Ep. 174
2025/12/16
Since we’re headed into a time of the year where there may be some extra space as a couple, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about expectations around sex and special occasions.  I know this happens more often with birthdays and vacations but it’s possible that in the lull between Christmas and New Years some pressure could creep in. In this short episode, we discuss why this happens, the harm it can cause and what to do instead. Plus we talk about what gifts husbands should never get their wives 🙂.

Why Sex Often Doesn't Feel Good For Women | Ep. 173
2025/12/09
The idea that men are so simple to please and women are a difficult maze of sensitive knobs and dials, often leaves female pleasure forgotten about. But what if something else was happening? What if our culture has only taught men and women about men’s bodies and pleasure? What if women’s genitals and orgasms felt impossibly difficult because we are all trying to approach them like men’s?  This is what we discussed on the podcast this week- sharing openly our current challenges with my partner learning my body as well as the common feeling amongst women that we don’t work properly or that we’re broken. And to make it practical, we also included some basic concepts to understand when approaching the clitoris. We didn’t hold anything back in this 30 minute episode and I hope you can find a quiet, private moment to join the conversation.

How Following the “Good Wife” Formula Led to a Nervous Breakdown - with Lisa (Part 2) | Ep. 167
2025/10/16
Part 2 of Lisa’s story is a must-listen episode. She opens up about how decades of prioritizing her husband’s sexual needs while ignoring her own led to a nervous breakdown that affected her both physically and emotionally. Lisa believed she was doing the right thing—following the “marriage formula” and giving him what he needed to keep the peace and manage his moods. But deep down, her body was begging for change. She just didn’t have the language or tools to understand what was wrong.  In this episode, Lisa shares how discovering Janna’s podcast and program transformed their marriage—and how she realized her so-called “low libido” was never the real problem.
