Welcome to Ask Gigi, a column where psychosexual therapist, Gigi
Engle, answers your most intimate questions and explores a range of
sexual health topics. .
Are you ‘dry begging’ with your partner?
Ever find yourself dropping hints, sighing, or over-explaining, hoping someone magically understands your needs? That’s called dry begging and it’s exhausting. Rooted in socialization and fear of rejection, it keeps us anxious, resentful, and stuck in unhealthy patterns. The solution? Direct, clear communication. By naming what you want, practicing assertiveness, and embracing vulnerability, you reclaim your voice and strengthen your relationships. Stop hoping people read your mind and learn to ask with clarity, confidence, and self-respect.
The interesting science of touch and why it matters for intimacy
Discover how physical and sexual touch shape your relationships on a biological level. Let’s breakdown down how oxytocin, co-regulation, and nervous system responses help you feel closer, safer, and more connected to the people you love.
