Let Them. — In this episode, you are going to learn how to have better sex. You have an appointment with a leading sex expert, Dr. Emily Morse. I will be the first to admit that I want to have better sex, but I don’t know how to achieve it. And I’m asking all the uncomfortable questions you want to ask. This conversation is going to make you think differently about this topic and inspire you to prioritize pleasure and connection in bed, no matter your age, #relationship status, or gender. And if you are saying, “This doesn’t apply to me,” or as my friend just said, “I’m in way worse than a drought! At this point, I’m a born-again virgin." No, you’re not. And this episode is for you too, because our expert says improving your solo #sex life is the first step. Dr. Emily claims that everything you have been taught or observed about sex is WRONG. Wait. WHAT??... Dr. Emily is insightful, and this conversation is hilarious and actionable. You will learn: - The 3 unexpected ways you are killing your sex drive - How to get out of your head when you’re in bed - Why meditation and sex might be the combo you need to orgasm - You are NOT alone if you cannot orgasm from penetration. - How to tell time with your vulva (yes, it is a thing) - Masturbation without shame and secrecy - Why skipping foreplay is ruining your chance of having great sex - The 5 ways your self-awareness ignites hot and steamy sex - Let’s stop faking orgasms. Know the four steps to how you can really get there. Grab your mirrors and vibrators, and leave your inhibitions and embarrassment at the door. And according to our expert, it’s amazing foreplay to talk about sex. So why don't you and your partner listen to this together? You’ll thank me later.
