Want it and Enjoy it Logo

Stop avoiding intimacy and start having pleasurable sex

(without needing to go to confession)

Go from avoiding sex

to actually wanting and enjoying it

without

betraying your faith, forcing your body,

or resigning yourself to a sex life that just kind of…sucks.

If you’re honest, sex isn’t great.

It’s definitely not something you look forward to.

Your libido disappeared years ago and it doesn’t seem like she’s coming back.

You might avoid your husband’s touch because you don’t want it to lead somewhere.

 

You might tense up during kissing, hoping it ends before it escalates.

You may genuinely believe: “I think sex just kind of sucks.”

And at the same time…

You also know that it shouldn’t feel this way.

Marriage wasn’t meant to include this much avoidance.

Intimacy wasn’t meant to feel like something to get through.

Pleasure wasn’t meant for everyone else except you.

You don’t want more pressure. You don’t want another thing to fix.

You want sex to feel good, connecting, and life-giving the way the Church says it’s meant to be.

If you’ve ever thought, “There has to be more than this” this is for you

What Catholic women tell me all the time...

  • “I’m open to sex, but I don’t actually crave it.”

  • “I want to enjoy it, I just don’t know how.”

  • “My mind is everywhere except my body.”

  • “I feel guilty that my husband wants me more than I want him.”

  • “I’ve tried praying about it but nothing changes.”

  • “I feel broken or like something is wrong with me.”

  • “I want pleasure, but I’m afraid of doing something wrong morally.”

  • “Sex feels like another thing I have to do instead of something that fills me up.”

The real problem isn’t low libido

It’s that no one ever taught you how female desire actually works.

Marriage prep? Hmm I must have missed that session…

Youth group? Not a chance.

Theology class? I wish!

Not even in most Catholic conversations about sex.

So you were left to figure it out alone while trying to be a good, holy, loving, and selfless wife.

Want It and Enjoy It teaches you how to:

  • Rebuild desire from the inside out

  • Feel safe, present, and receptive in your body

  • Experience pleasure without guilt or fear

  • Understand arousal instead of waiting for it to magically appear

  • Enjoy sex as a shared, mutual, life-giving experience, not a performance

    All fully grounded in Catholic teaching.

This is not a “spice things up” program

You don’t need tricks.
You don’t need to be more adventurous.
You don’t need to push past discomfort.

And you definitely don’t need to become someone you’re not.

This is a deep, practical, step-by-step process that helps you become a woman who:

  • Understands her desire

  • Trusts her body

  • Enjoys pleasure without anxiety

  • Feels confident receiving

  • Actually looks forward to sex

Introducing:

A group coaching program for Catholic wives who want sex to feel good, meaningful, and joyful.

Over 8 weeks, we cover:

Desire

Why you don’t want sex and how to rebuild authentic, sustainable desire

Arousal

How to help your body actually feel ready instead of rushing or forcing

Pleasure

How female pleasure works, why it matters, and how to experience it faithfully

Mindset & Nervous System

How anxiety, pressure, shame, and distraction shut desire down and how to reverse that

Communication

How to talk about sex clearly, confidently, and lovingly without awkwardness or fear (or fights!)

Catholic Moral Clarity

What the Church actually teaches and how to live it with peace instead of scrupulosity


You are not alone

If you are reading this and thinking, "Is it just me?" the answer is no.

So many Catholic women quietly believe they are the only ones who:

• Avoid sex even though they love their husband 

• Feel tense or disconnected when intimacy starts 

• Wonder why sex feels awkward, uncomfortable, or disappointing

 

• Carry guilt for not wanting sex more 

• Assume something must be wrong with them 

• Feel confused because the Church says sex is good, but their experience does not match that

This struggle is far more common than anyone admits.

Most women were never taught how desire actually works for the female body. They were never given language for arousal, pleasure, or emotional safety. They were told sex was important, but not how to experience it as good.

Nothing has gone wrong.

You are not failing at marriage. You are not broken. And you are certainly not alone in this.

What others have said

Kristen and her husband went from feeling so lost to feeling confident!

Elizabeth was super cautious going in but was so relived to learn the course was super Catholic and everything in line with Church teaching!

Mindy went from frustrated with orgasm to actually understanding them and enjoying them!

Patricia loved learning everything and applying it with her husband (and wished she had it sooner!)

Chelsea still learned things after 20 years of marriage!

Monica went from thinking sex is just for men to realizing her pleasure mattered and was a good thing to pursue!

Imagine this...

You don’t tense when your husband touches you.

You don’t mentally brace yourself when sex comes up.

You feel present in your body.

You understand what turns you on and how to get there.

You stop wondering what’s wrong with you.

You have sex not because you should, but because you want to.

You feel closer to your husband, not resentful or pressured.

And for the first time, you think:

“Oh. This is what they meant when they said sex is amazing.”

Hi I'm Ellen!

Sex was a huge hurdle my husband and I had to overcome early in our marriage, and we had no where to turn with the questions we had.

Now I create authentically Catholic resources for women on sex and intimacy rooted in Theology of the Body. I combine up to date sexology with church teaching to provide you with practical sex support that is 100% in line with the Catholic Church.

I want you to have an amazing marriage and an awesome sex life!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this program faithful to Catholic Church teaching?

Yes. This program is fully grounded in Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality, including the goodness of the marital act, the unitive and procreative meaning of sex, and the dignity of the female body. Nothing in this program contradicts Church teaching. In fact, many women find this work helps them finally understand why the Church teaches what it does. The main sources used for course content are the Catechism of the Catholic Church, The Theology of the Body, Love and Responsibility, Guadium Et Spes, and Humanae Vitae.

Will this include explicit sexual content?

No. The content is respectful, modest, and appropriate for Catholic women. We talk about desire, arousal, and pleasure clearly and directly, but never graphically. The focus is understanding your body and your experience, not providing explicit instruction.

What if I have very low desire or feel completely shut down?

You are not disqualified. Many women join feeling closed off, avoidant, or convinced that sex just is not for them. This program is designed specifically for Catholic women who do not currently enjoy sex and want that to change.

What if I have sexual shame or a complicated past?

You are welcome here. We move gently and at your pace. This program does not force disclosure or sharing personal details. If you have significant past trauma, this program can be supportive, but it does not replace individualized trauma therapy.

Does my husband need to participate?

No. This program is designed for women. Some exercises may involve communication or shared experiences with your husband, but you do not need his participation to begin this work. We always recommend that you talk with your husband about joining this program and involve him as much as he is willing and interested in it. His involvement can speed up progress and improve outcomes, but his involvement is not required to see major improvements in your sex life.

What if my husband is frustrated or has a higher desire than I do?

This is very common. As you learn how desire actually works and how to feel safer and more receptive in your body, many women find that this dynamic begins to soften naturally. We also address how to communicate about sex and desire with clarity and charity.

How much time does this take each week?

Plan for about 1 to 2 hours per week. This includes watching lessons, attending or replaying the group call, and practicing the exercises. You will see the biggest changes and improvements if you commit to 15-20 minutes of daily practice and study.

What if I am worried this will make me more scrupulous?

This program aims to reduce anxiety and scrupulosity, not increase it. We provide clear moral frameworks and emphasize peace, intention, and growth rather than fear or perfection.

I have tried praying, trying harder, and waiting. How is this different?

Prayer is essential, but prayer does not replace understanding how your body and nervous system work. This program bridges theology with practical tools so prayer and effort can actually bear fruit.

What if I am nervous to talk about sex in a group setting?

You are never required to share. Many women choose to listen quietly and still experience profound shifts. The group environment exists to normalize your experience, not to pressure you. You can join the group coaching sessions with an anonymous name or you can choose to only watch the replay if you feel more comfortable that way. However, many women have found that the group setting helps tremendously in realizing that others have similar experiences and that they are not alone in this journey.

Will I have access to the content after the program ends?

Yes. You receive lifetime access to the course materials so you can revisit them whenever you need.

I'm not married yet, can I join this program?

This program is designed for married Catholic women. The topics covered are very intimate and may not be appropriate prior to marriage. If you are engaged and would like to join, send me an email at [email protected] and let's see if it's a good fit for you.

What are women saying?

This course explores everything and answers every question I ever thought of asking, and even questions I didn’t know to ask.

Having grown up in a highly saturated purity culture, I was too anxious to even explore the concept of an orgasm, and even felt dirty and selfish about it.

However, this course was a great source of healing, and restored the beauty and innocence that orgasm was always meant to have. very educational! This course was exactly exactly what I needed as a virgin prior to my first sexual encounter. It prepared me well!

— Kathleen R.

I enjoyed this course I felt like it was really helpful, and that it will improve my marriage relationship and ability to increase my intimacy within my marriage.

— Patricia C

I’m almost done and want to watch a second time but with my husband. I have found it super helpful so far, especially the things we wish our spouses knew but we don’t mention to avoid sounding like we want to control everything.

Where can we safely look for this kind of information?


Finally, a safe and Catholic space for information about sex!

As a Catholic woman seeking to explore the realms of sexual pleasure and intimacy within the boundaries of your faith, you may have found yourself facing a significant challenge – the lack of morally licit and safe resources to turn to for guidance and information.

In today's digital age, information on sexuality is readily available, but much of it doesn't align with Catholic teachings or values. Many women find themselves hesitant to explore their own desires and pleasure due to the potential conflict between their faith and the information they come across. The question often arises: Where can a Catholic woman find trustworthy, faith-aligned guidance on this deeply personal topic?

Welcome to the Orgasm Course!

Is it really ok to take a course on sexual pleasure?

  • The Church Celebrates Marital Intimacy - The Catholic Church teaches that sex within marriage is good, holy, and beautiful. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 2362) states:


    “The acts in marriage by which the intimate and chaste union of the spouses takes place are noble and honorable; the truly human performance of these acts fosters the self-giving they signify, enriching the spouses in joy and gratitude.”

    This means that enjoying sex, fully and freely, is part of God’s design for marriage. Cultivating desire is about embracing the fullness of the gift God has given you in marriage.

  • God Created Women’s Desire to Be Different

    Many Catholic women feel broken because they don’t experience spontaneous desire like their husbands do. But women often experience responsive desire, which means they need time, connection, and intentional effort to cultivate sexual readiness.


    Learning how to desire and enjoy sex is not forcing something unnatural. It’s actually working with how God created you.

  • Taking Active Steps to Nurture Intimacy is Not Sinful

    Some women worry that intentionally getting themselves in the mood is inappropriate, but there is a clear difference between preparing yourself for intimacy with your husband and engaging in self-focused lust.

    It is not sinful to:
    Take intentional steps to help your body and mind be more open to sex

    Shift your mindset so that sex feels like a joy instead of an obligation

    Engage in licit ways of awakening desire (such as sensory exercises, affectionate thoughts about your husband, or prayer)

    It would be sinful to:

    Engage in self-stimulation that leads away from the marital embrace

    Rely on media or fantasy that distorts God’s design for intimacy

    Treat sex as something purely for personal pleasure, rather than a shared gift in marriage

    So yes, it is absolutely OK to want to want sex more. And it’s OK to seek out tools that will help you along the way.

Who is this course for?

This course is written for the married woman who is searching for solidly Catholic info about sexual pleasure and orgasm. If you're engaged, you're also welcome, but I would caution you that not everything in this course is appropriate until you're married. You know yourself best, do what is prudent for you!

Does the course content align with Catholic teaching?

Yes! Everything in this course is shared from an authentically Catholic foundation. I've done the hard work of sifting through secular resources that have some....not so good info in them. Here you'll find the good stuff and only the good stuff. I will never recommend practices contrary to Catholic teaching (i.e. masturbation or pornography)

What does this course cover?

The course covers everything from physical arousal and anatomy to mindset to the spiritual side of things to the relational aspect between husband and wife. This course is unique in its all encompassing approach that integrates both theology and up to date sexology.

Why should I purchase this course?

You deserve to feel the incredible and deeply unifying pleasure that is designed to accompany sex. If you’re not experiencing that within your marriage currently, I urge you to watch the content of this course and start working toward orgasm within your marriage. Also St. John Paul II called it a justice issue if the woman doesn’t receive orgasm, so you are justified in receiving this information!

What if I need more support after taking this course?

If after going through the modules you realize you really need some additional support, I'd love to chat with you about my one-on-one coaching program. Email [email protected] to get started!
