About Me

Michelle Fischler is a Certified Sex Therapist and Clinical Supervisor through the Association for Sex Therapy in Ontario (ASTO), and the founder of GETSOME—an unshaming sexuality brand, podcast, and education platform helping people rewrite their relationship to sex, desire, and shame.

With over a decade of experience in psychotherapy and community mental health, Michelle brings a grounded, radically inclusive lens to her work. Her approach is research-rooted, trauma-informed, and deeply human. At the heart of it all is this: unshaming sex is not just possible—it’s essential.

Michelle works at the intersection of sexual health, mental health, and cultural messaging, specializing in sexual shame, erectile dysfunction, penis pressure and performance anxiety, and mindful erections. She supports individuals and couples navigating desire discrepancy, sexual pain, and the disconnection that can show up when pleasure feels out of reach. Whether she’s helping someone unshame a soft penis or reconnect with their own erotic cues, Michelle’s work centers on reclaiming agency, sensation, and belonging in the body.

Through GETSOME, she offers accessible tools like the Easing Erection Anxiety mindfulness series, the Shame Detox Masterclass, and a collection of Pay to Play guides on topics like sexual communication, partnered pleasure, and how to unshame your sexual narrative.

Her work speaks to anyone who’s ever asked: Can you orgasm with a soft penis? What if desire feels mismatched? What if softness shows up when things heat up?

It’s always been about pleasure and connection. And allowing pleasure in begins with unshaming the story that surrounds it.

Michelle lives in Toronto, where she writes, teaches, and holds space for people ready to connect with their true sexual selves.

Desire doesn’t vanish in long-term relationships, it shifts. After the honeymoon phase, brain chemistry changes, daily stress builds, and screen time steals intimacy. Many couples mistake fading passion as a sign something is “wrong,” but that’s not true. Desire often needs nurturing. By understanding responsive vs. spontaneous desire, reducing digital distractions, and focusing on connection over performance, couples can reignite closeness. Passion isn’t lost forever; it can be rebuilt with curiosity, consent, and intentional time together.

You’re not broken. This guide explores the hidden signs of dating app overwhelm, the psychology behind it, and practical steps for a digital dating detox to help you reconnect with yourself.
