Today in the guest chair, we have Dr. Donna Oriowo, LICSW, M.Ed, CST — award-winning DEI advocate, international speaker, certified sex & relationship therapist, author, and the unapologetically brilliant mind behind AnnodRight, where she helps Black women feel "Free, Fabulous, and F*cked!"
In this episode, Dr. Donna dives into one of the most debated questions in modern relationships:
Should you schedule sex with your partner… or does that ruin the magic?
With her trademark blend of humor, realness, and deep clinical expertise, Dr. Donna explores why so many couples struggle with intimacy, what gets in the way of spontaneous sex, and how planning can be a tool for connection, if you use it intentionally. She breaks down the psychology behind desire, the realities of busy lives, and the cultural messages that make people feel guilty for needing structure in their sex life.
Dr. Donna keeps you entertained and informed as she shares multiple perspectives around:
Whether scheduling sex is healthy or harmful
What planning intimacy actually looks like (and what it isn't)
The myths about spontaneity that sabotage real connection
How stress, identity, and life responsibilities shift desire
Why Black women, in particular, need more spaciousness and permission around pleasure
How to talk to your partner about your needs without shame
Ways to build a sex life that fits your real life, not the version Instagram told you to want
Dr. Donna brings the energy, the education, and the truth-telling, helping you rethink intimacy through the lens of self-compassion, communication, and cultural context. Whether you're partnered, dating, or simply curious, this episode will leave you laughing, learning, and feeling a whole lot less alone.
