I also think that your sexuality and your intimate relationships are such a clear microcosm of your life in a way it's like the ways you might be lying to yourself, the ways that you're bracing, the ways you are trying to talk yourself into something-that all comes out in your sex life. At least in my generation, that was not the thing. And then you have women being raised and socialized to not ever orient around their pleasure or ask for what they want, for example. You have historical patriarchy here that really discounts female pleasure as part of a paradigm. So I started to think about, wow, why is this one episode such a hot-button issue for people?Īnd I realized it's pretty multi-pronged. Some people were super uncomfortable, it made some people super happy and, you know, we love a good dialogue here at goop. I think “The Pleasure Is Ours” episode of The goop lab was a super important, impactful episode for us, and it drove a lot of really interesting conversations around female pleasure. And so the format was really different because I thought we could explore topics more deeply. I guess maybe it was quarantine, like wanting to follow stories on an emotional journey made me want to follow couples through a journey.

It's pretty extraordinary what they went through in the name of each other.” “I was completely blown away by how willing the couples were to, I mean really, lay it out on the line. But she was still impressed with the results. Paltrow wasn’t present in person during the couples’ sessions with their experts “obviously it was a very intimate and private thing,” she says. “Michaela I had worked with before in more of a talk therapy capacity, and then she became a friend and a confidant and someone that I really adore and I'm close to,” Paltrow says of her onscreen partner. Michaela Boehm, goop’s go-to expert on intimacy, relationships, and sexuality, joins Paltrow as a co-host. Selected by goop’s editorial team, the experts in the show include Jaiya, a somatic sexologist Amina Peterson, a sacred sex and intimacy coach Darshana Avila, an erotic wholeness coach and Katarina “Kato” Wittich, a Family Constellations facilitator.

The result is Sex, Love & goop, a six-episode unscripted series now streaming on Netflix, which follows real couples as they’re guided by experts to work on intimacy, communication, body image, and pleasure (for themselves and each other). “I started to think about, wow, why is this one episode such a hot-button issue for people?” Paltrow tells over the phone. In fact, the idea sprang from Paltrow and goop’s last project with Netflix, 2020’s The goop lab, which highlights unconventional and boundary-pushing wellness practices, from psychedelics to “vampire facials.” The third episode, focusing on female pleasure, sparked such a conversation that the team thought the topic should be revisited in a deeper format. Her lifestyle, wellness, and self-care brand, goop, has famously sold “vagina-scented” candles and Jade eggs for Kegel-like exercises a Netflix series on the taboos of intimacy and desire isn’t out of left field.
