Stefanie Giesinger Opens Up About Low Libido and 'Reluctant Sex' on Podcast

The model frames her talk with author Maria Popov as an effort to reduce stigma around low desire.

Overview

  • In a new episode of her podcast, Giesinger discusses frequent lack of sexual desire in conversation with author Maria Popov.
  • She says she usually feels sexual interest only on a few days each month around ovulation.
  • Giesinger admits she has at times agreed to sex to avoid conflict, describing it as a form of 'Verlegenheitssex'.
  • She urges clear, neutral refusals over excuses and recommends building non‑sexual intimacy to ease pressure.
  • Giesinger cites a University Hospital Zurich figure that 45% of women report diminished interest and criticizes fixed 'sex appointments' as potentially increasing pressure.
