Welcome to Ask Gigi, a column where psychosexual therapist, Gigi
Engle, answers your most intimate questions and explores a range of
sexual health topics. .
Why are we attracted to people who don’t want us back?
Why are we so drawn to people who don't want us back? From emotional unavailability and attachment patterns to the familiar pull of inconsistent affection, we explore the psychology behind unrequited attraction, why the chase can feel so compelling, and what our desire for someone else's attention might really be telling us.
And what if your partner’s fantasy isn’t about you? What does it mean?
Your partner’s sexual fantasies can bring up unexpected insecurities, especially when they involve things you don’t share. Discover why fantasy doesn’t always reflect real-life desire, and how to make space for your partner’s erotic imagination without questioning your own worth.
Is it chemistry or attachement anxiety?
Have we confused emotional intensity with chemistry? This week, we're exploring why uncertainty can feel intoxicating, how anxiety gets mistaken for attraction, and what healthy chemistry actually looks like.
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.
