We took the long road so you can take the shortcut.
Andrea and Joakim met ten years ago. Like most new couples, desire came easily in those early years – electric, natural, something neither of them had to think about.
Then life shifted. Three kids, two companies, a dog. Andrea had just had twins – her body exhausted, her nervous system overwhelmed, desire gone. Joakim had sold his company and lost his footing, becoming anxious and demanding instead of present.
They started fighting about small things that were never really small. Even together, they felt alone. But one thing stayed clear: they didn't want to walk away.
Two forces pulling in different directions.
This was never about a "low libido." Andrea uncovered unprocessed trauma, shame, and a disconnect from her body that made desire feel unsafe. Joakim had lost his polarity – and with it, the ability to hold space rather than demand closeness. Neither of them was broken. Both were disconnected from themselves.
So they chose curiosity over blame. For two years they went all in – therapists, coaches, retreats, and the science of desire, hormones, trauma, and the nervous system. Joakim being Joakim, it all became a 30-tab Excel file. Not romantic. But it worked. Connection returned. Then safety. Then desire.
A method built to last.
When friends tried the exercises, the same thing happened – across different relationships, backgrounds, and stories. This wasn't just personal. It was universal.
To do it properly, Andrea and Joakim brought in a world-class team – clinicians, therapists, neuroscientists, and sexual health experts – alongside long-term investors who understood this wasn't about trends or quick fixes.
That's what Temple is today. Not a quick course, but a serious, science-based platform for desire, intimacy, and lasting connection – built at the intersection of lived experience, science, and respect for human complexity.
